OIL PRESSURE GAUGE CALIBRATION. (PA-44-180 S/N 44-95001 AND UP)
A calibration chart has been included for use in verifing that the suspected faulty gauge is within tolerance.
Actual recalibration of the gauge must be performed by the manufacturer or an approved instrument repair
facility.
1. With the instrument installed in the aircraft, the aircrafts’ power connected (14 VDC) and the ground
connected.
2. Remove the connection to the terminal marked SEND and connect a specified amount of resistance as
indicated on the chart, by use of a fixed resistor or a test unit capable of simulating the resistance indicated
on the chart (Power Resistor Decade Box).
