MAINTENANCE MANUAL
(8) Fuel Load Entry Mode
(a) QDI ( S/N’s 4636021 thru 4636131 only ).
1 To select fuel load entry mode, press "S" and "UP ARROW" buttons simultaneously.
a The LCD will display "FUEL 000" or present fuel remaining with the most
significant digit found flashing along with a flashing "Pro"gramming prompt in
the lower left. (See Figure 5B).
b Pressing the "UP ARROW" button will increment the flashing digit. Pressing the
"S"elect button will advance to the next digit. The digits will increment up to nine
or the capacity of the aircraft fuel tanks (120 gallons). To enter this fuel load into
memory, depress and hold the "S"elect button for approximately 2 seconds. The
QDI will automatically enter the normal fuel management mode which will be
evident by the absence of the flashing "Pro"gramming prompt and flashing
selected digit.
NOTE: The Manual Fuel Load Entry can be re-entered at any time. In this
mode, the QDI will post the last fuel remaining (will not update).
Depressing and holding the "S"elect button for approximately 2
seconds will:
-- Update fuel load data, if new data is manually entered.
-- Will display updated fuel remaining if no change is made.
2 Max Fuel Load
While in the fuel entry mode, press and release the "E" button with "FILL" adjacent to it.
The LCD will display "FUEL 120" and return to the fuel management mode. (See
Figure 5C).
(b) EDI ( S/N’s 4636132 thru 4636374 ).
1 Prior to engine start, a new fuel loading can be entered into the EDI by selecting the
fuel posting mode. Press the "S" button on the left side of the display. Once in the
fuel posting mode, enter the fuel loading mode by simultaneously pressing the "S"
and "Up Arrow" buttons (Figure 5D and 5E). The digital display will show "000" or
present fuel remaining with the left most digit flashing. Pressing the "UP ARROW"
button will increment the flashing digit up while the "DOWN ARROW" will increment
the flashing digit down. Pressing "T" button will toggle between flashing parameter
digits. This sequence is repeated until the new fuel loading is displayed in the EDI
window. To enter this fuel load into memory, depress the "S" button on the left side of
the display. At this point the CDI will return to the fuel posting mode automatically.
NOTE: During fuel loading entry sequence, the three digits must display 120 gallons
or less at all times to permit fuel load entry into the EDI.
2 Max Fuel Load
If the fuel tanks are filled to max capacity (120 gallons usable), the pre-set full fuel
valve can be entered by depressing the "E" button while in the fuel entry mode
(Figure 5E).
