Flybox Eclipse, Инструкция по установке и эксплуатации

Страница: 42 / 72

- Set the total tank/s capacity. See parameter “Tank capacity” on menù System Setup-->Fuel computer.
- Set the K-factor. The K-factor of a fuel flow transducer is the number of electric pulses for 1 gallon of fuel consumption
(if you have K-factor in liters you must moltiply this value by 3.78 before set k-factor in the ECLIPSE). If you use Flybox®
TFTHP fuel flow transducer set k-factor to 416400.
It's recommended also to execute the K-factor calibration as soon as possible to have the maximum accuracy (refer to chapter
7.2 “Fuel flow transducer calibration”).
Everytime after powering-on the instrument the ECLIPSE ask if you have refuelled the tank; you must choose one of the 3 options
available:
NO REFUEL
: Select this option if you have not refuelled the tank.
ADD FUEL
: Select this option if you have added fuel to the tank (in the
next screen you can insert the exact amount of fuel added).
FILLED
: Select this option if you have filled the tank. The display will show
the quantity that has been added to reach the full level. (Before using this
option you must have already set the tank capacity in the fuel computer setup).
NOTE:
If you need to correct a wrong fuel quantity add, select “ADD FUEL” and insert a negative value.
When the fuel computer is ready to operate it shows the following indications:
•
FUEL FLOW :
According to the selected unit of measure the flow is indicated in liters per hour (Lt/h) or gallons per hour
(Gl/h).
•
REMAINING FUEL :
Display the fuel remaining in the tank. According to the selected unit of measure the flow is indicated in
liters (Lt) or gallons (Gl).
NOTE: The fuel remaining displayed here is not a measurement of the fuel in the tank, but it is
calculated from the initial quantity and the burned quantity measured from the fuel flow transducer.
•
BURNED FUEL : Display the fuel burned from the starting. According to the selected unit of measure the flow is indicated in
liters (Lt) or gallons (Gl).
•
ENDURANCE : Display the time to empty, calculated considering the fuel remaining and the actual fuel flow.
If it is not possible to calculate the time to empty (for example if the engine is not running) the display shows --:--
•
RANGE :
Display the range calculated considering the fuel remaining, the actual fuel flow and the ground speed furnished by
the GPS.
NOTE:
if the display shows “WAITING GPS RMC” it means that the GPS don't have the fix.
If it is not possible to calculate the range (for example if the engine is not running) the display shows --:--
•
RESERVE :
Display the fuel remaining at destination; the destination is intended as the approaching GPS waypoint.
If the number is negative it means that there is not enough fuel to reach the destination.
To enable this indication you must connect an external GPS (as explained in “CON1 Connections” on chap.3) and
enable the “RMB” sentence on it; you must also set to “YES” the parameter “Ext. GPS for reserve indication” on
System setup-->Fuel computer menu.
If the display shows “WAITING GPS RMB” it means that the GPS is enabled but not connected, turned off or it don't
have the fix.
If it is not possible to calculate the reserve (for example when the engine is not running) the display shows --:--
