This manual does not make any recommendations as to specific operating parameters or controlling
methods. Check the airframe and/or engine manufacturer’s recommendations to properly operate the
aircraft systems and engine. It is the pilot’s responsibility to operate the engine and aircraft safely.
It is possible for any instrument to fail thereby displaying inaccurate high, low or jumpy readings.
Therefore, you mustmust
mustmust
must be able to recognize an instrument failure and you mustmust
mustmust
must be proficient in operating
your aircraft safely in spite of an instrument failure. If you do not have this knowledge, contact the FAA
or a knowledgeable flight instructor for training prior to flying the aircraft with this instrument.
Electronics International Inc. is not liable or responsible for a pilot’s action or any situation that results in
personal injury, property damage, missed commitments, lack of use of an aircraft or any expenses
incurred due to: product failure, inaccuracy in displayed data or text files, display or display format
issues, software bugs or problems, upgrade or customization issues, misinterpretation of the display,
warning and/or limit settings, calibration problems, installation issues (leaks, mis-wiring, obstructions,
damage to aircraft or components, incorrect installation of any parts, wrong parts, parts that don’t fit,
etc.) or any other issues related to the installation or operation of this product. All of the above are
solely the pilot’s and/or installer’s responsibility. The pilot mustmust
mustmust
must understand the operation of this prod-
uct before flying the aircraft. The pilot must not allow anyone to operate the aircraft that does not know
the operation of this product. The pilot must keep the instrument Operating Instructions in the aircraft at
all times.
Set a unique password to protect all of the calibration and setup data in the MVP-50 (MVP). If setup or
calibration data is inadvertently or improperly changed, you could get inaccurate readings that may lead
to improper operation of the aircraft or engine. This could result in engine damage and/or an emergency
situation.
Before using the Weight and Balance screen check that the “Weight and Balance Setup” data in the MVP
System Configuration Menu is accurate. Always verify the MVP weight and balance data with you
aircraft’s POH.
Before flying the aircraft verify that the instrument markings displayed on the MVP are accurate with
your POH for every function displayed on the MVP.
Verify that the horsepower displayed on the MVP is accurate with your aircraft's POH and/or engine TC
data.
The MVP allows the pilot to enter checklists, flight plans and general information through the USB port.
This data must be verified for accuracy by the pilot prior to flight.
The MVP must be calibrated to the aircraft fuel system and the MVP's accuracy must be verified before
flying the aircraft.

Full Fuel Readings - As a tank is filled the fuel sensor may be unable to detect the fuel entering
the upper corners of the fuel tank. If this is the case with your sensor, the MVP may display fuel levels
lower than the actual fuel in the tanks when the tanks are full. When the fuel level drops to a point
where the fuel sensor starts to detect a change, the displayed fuel level should be accurate. Check theCheck the

TheMVPhardwareconsistsof the followingthreegroupsofcomponents:
A. Probes,Transducers andExtensionCables – These components are used to measure pressures,
temperatures,fuelflow,volts,amps,fuellevelsandmany otherengine andaircraftsystemfunctions. The
analogsignals produced bythe transducersandprobes areroutedthrough theExtensionCables to
variousEDCinputs.
B. EDC(Engine DataConverter) –The EDCconverts theanalog signalsfrom theprobes and
transducersto adigitalformat. This dataistransmitted viaatwo-wire RS422cable to theMVPDisplay.
C. MVPDisplay –The MVP receives, processes and displays the RS422 EDC data on its TFT color
display. In addition, theMVPreceivesGPS data,interfaceswith theVoiceWarningControl Panel and
monitorstheexternal backlightcontrolline. Also, theMVPtransmitsfueldatato theGPSand controls
theexternalCautionandWarningLights.
TheMVP reduces thenumber ofpanel-mountedinstruments fromaround15 toonly1. The EDCcanreduce the
totalnumberof wiresroutedto theaircraftinstrument panelby100 or more.
