must understand the operation and limitations of this product before flying the aircraft. Do not
allow anyone to operate the aircraft that does not know how to properly interpret and operate this product.
Keep the Operating Manual in the aircraft at all times. If you do not thoroughly understand the operation
of this product, contact a knowledgeable flight instructor for training.
The ability for this product to respond to an engine or aircraft system anomaly is directly related to how
that anomaly affects the reading of the function(s) being monitored (i.e.: if an engine fire does not affect
the ITT or Oil Temp then the ITT and Oil Temp readings will not change).
This instrument only displays the parameters for the function(s) being monitored. The pilot is responsible
for interpreting the data and determining if an engine or aircraft system anomaly exists. When using this
instrument, the pilot’s diagnostic ability is limited to his/her interpretation of the displayed data and the
their observation skills. To improve these skills the pilot should seek training from a flight instructor.
If after reading this manual you do not have the knowledge to interpret the displayed data to operate the
aircraft safely or to detect engine and/or aircraft system problems, contact a knowledgeable instructor for
training prior to flying the aircraft with this instrument.
If you detect a problem using this instrument, it is your responsibility to take appropriate action to insure
the safety of the flight. Practice simulating problems to build your skills and to improve your understand
of the relationships between problems and their affects on the displayed data. To insure you are taking
appropriate action, contact a knowledgeable flight instructor for training. Inappropriate action can lead to
aircraft and/or engine damage, personal injury or death.

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
product before flying the aircraft. The pilot will not allow anyone to operate the aircraft that does not
know the operation of this product. The pilot will 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 emer-
gency 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.

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

TheMVPhardwareconsistsofthefollowingthreegroupsofcomponents:
A. Probes,Transducers andExtensionCables– These components are used to measure pressures,
temperatures,fuelflow,volts,amps,fuellevelsandmanyotherengineandaircraftsystemfunctions. The
analogsignalsproduced by thetransducersandprobes are routedthroughthe Extension Cablestovarious
EDCinputs.
B. EDC(EngineData Converter)– The EDCconverts the analog signals fromthe probesand transducers
toa digital format. Thisdata is transmittedthree times persecond via atwo-wire RS422 cableto the MVP
Display. AsecondEDCmaybe installed toincreasethe MVP’s capability.
C. MVPDisplay – The MVP receives, processes and displays the RS422 EDC data on its TFT color
display. In addition, theMVPreceivesGPS data, interfaceswiththeVoice Warning Control Paneland
monitorstheexternalback light control line. Also,theMVPtransmits fuel data totheGPSand controls the
externalMasterWarningLight.
TheMVPreduces the number ofpanel-mountedinstruments from around 15toonly 1 andprovide24
annunciators. TheEDCcan reduce thetotalnumber of wiresroutedto the aircraftinstrumentpanel by 100or
more.
1.4 SELECT Knob and Button Operation:
SELECTKnob: The SELECTknob can berotated orpressed. Depending onthe screen and field being
viewed,rotatingthe knob canmovean arrow, select adigit,or change adigitsvalue. Pressing the SELECTknob
willchoosethehighlighteditem.
EXITButton: PressingtheEXIT button will exityououtof a specificoperation. Repeatedpresseswillexit you
outofthecurrent screen, returning youtotheprevious screen viewed. Youcanalwaysreturn to theMainEngine
InstrumentScreenbyrepeatedlypressingtheEXIT button.
SCREENSButton: Pressingthe SCREENSbuttonsequences the MVPthrough a listofFlight DataScreens.
TheFlight Data Screensthat will bedisplayed canbepre-selected onthe Screens ButtonSetup page. The
SCREENSbutton allows youquick accesstothe screensyou use mostfrequently. To navigateto the “Screens
