Important Note!
You
must
have the remote auxiliary display
—RAD— installed on
the instrument panel of your aircraft. This is required for FAA
certification of the EDM-960 as a primary instrument. Upon start
up, the RAD displays the make and model of you aircraft, which
must be verified before you can rely on the EDM-960 for use as
the primary engine instrument cluster. The RAD also will
continuously notify you of any alarm conditions, regardless of
whether you have cleared them on the EDM-960 display.
This is not an option!
This is a summary of basic operation. Detailed descriptions of all
operations appear later in this Pilot’s Guide. Once you become familiar
with the details of operation, we suggest you use the Quick Reference
Guide (found in back of manual) for most commonly used functions.
EDM-960 primary instruments have preset alarm limits and cautionary
ranges (user cannot change them) typically for the following
measurements: oil temperature, oil pressure, fuel pressure, fuel quantity,
cylinder head temperature, turbine inlet temperature, manifold pressure,
and RPM. Your EDM-960 contains a custom Key Card. For Primary
configurations, the Key Card activates the primary engine instrument
abilities of your engine monitor.
Note: Fuel quantity gauges must be calibrated to the aircraft and will not
be functional until the fuel calibration process has been performed.
