Safety Instructions and Warning Booklet

CAUTION:

The pilot must realize that turning the knob or

moving the INC/DEC switch or even in the other modes
provided, if enabled, the target revs on the display before
take-off may differ from those expected and set by the
installer.

CAUTION:

Before take-off, always check to have set the

maximum allowable RPMs and that the green minimum
pitch indicator is lit and if not,

do not take off!

The shape of the indicator can be shown in 2 different
ways depending on the screen displayed.

Advance

mode

This function is available in all 4

APR1

models.

ADV

mode enable the controller to follow the Speed/RPM

curve set by your installer.

The instrument automatically adjusts the engine speed,
according to the Speed/RPM curve set by the installer. In
this mode, the instrument recognises the various flight
phases according to the speed of the aircraft, and when
the speed changes, it quickly makes the RPM changes by
changing the propeller pitch.

When operating in this mode, it will still be possible to vary
the RPM as desired by acting on the knob or in any other
possible mode, among those available, if activated. Go to
chapter 4.3.2 for a full description.
