Alarm 

= 

ON/OFF:

enable/disable  the  alarm
(alert  indication  on  display)
that  occurs  when  a  EGT
measurement  exceeds  the
red threshold (default=ON).

●

Voice = ON/OFF: 

enable/disable the audio alert notification on

EGT alarms (default=ON).

●

Repeat:

 Set the number of times that the vocal alarm for the

EGT is repeated on the audio output (range:1~5, default=1).

●

Auto  reset  =  ON/OFF:

  if  set  to  ON,  if  a  alarm  condition  is

activated  but  the  measurement  that  activated  this  alarm  has
dropped  below  the  alarm  threshold,  the  Vigilus  automatically
reset the alarm indication. If set to OFF, the user must manually
reset  the  alarm  indication,  even  if  the  measurement  that
activated  this  alarm  has  dropped  below  the  alarm  threshold
(default=ON).

●

Out  map: 

you  can  choose  to  enable  one  of  the  four  outputs

available on the remote module when the alarm is activated,
useful for example to turn on an alarm light on the cockpit.
Set to zero to disable this function (default=0).

●

Unit: °C / °F: 

Set the unit of measure for the EGT temperatures;

choose between °Celsius (°C) or °Fahrenheit (°F). Default=°C.

●

Filter:

  This  parameter  affect  the  readings  and  the  gauges

displayed:  a  low  value  means  that  the  readings  will  be  more
fast and unfiltered (but subject to fluctuations), an high value
means that the readings will be more slow and stable (range:
0~999, default=100).
