1.1 - Primary action after installation
WARNING: Do not y until you have performed at least
the actions indicated below:
1. Choose aircraft type: the rst parameter to setup is
the engine selection. It can be made by entering in the
Main menu → Conguration → Aircraft as explained in
chap 1.3.3 Conguration
2. Choose engine model: the rst parameter to setup is
the engine selection. It can be made by entering in the
Main menu → Conguration → Engine as explained in
chap 1.3.3 Conguration
3. Tank level sensors: (if connected). It's indispensable
to perform the calibration for all the tank level sensors
connected to EngiMaster. Without performing
calibration and settings no indication will be furnished.
It is responsibility of the user to check during the rst
ights and over time the goodness of the calibration
and therefore the instrument indications. The
verication can be done in any moment, for example by
simply checking the quantity put to ll the tank: if you
know that the tank lled contain 40 liters and the
EngiMaster indicate as remaining quantity 10.0 liter,
you know that to ll the tank you must put
approximately 30 liters. Of course keeping in mind that
in ground the indications will be dierent that in ight
because of the ight's attitude. This problem is present
also in the traditional analog gauge indicators, but is
more dicult to detect because of the non-numeric
indication. Another verication is, in case of low
remaining quantity (i.e. 4~5 liters), drain and measure
it.

4. Fuel computer: (if installed). If it's installed the fuel
ow transducer, BEFORE rely on informations
provided by the fuel computer section you must:
• Verify that the K-factor set in the EngiMaster is
pertinent to the installed fuel ow transducer (for the
FT-60 Recube Flybox cod. 503030 is 68000).
• Execute the fuel ow transducer calibration as
explained in chapter 1.3.2.11 - Fuel computer section
K-Factor calibration. Without calibration the fuel
computer informations may be wrong, even if the
nominal K-factor is correct for the fuel ow transducer
used.After calibration, the K-factor should have been
calculated automatically and at best for every single
installation. You must still check for some time if the
remaining quantity indicated are reliable compared to
the refuelling performed. For example, if the instrument
indicate a remaining quantity of 35 liters and you know
that the tanks capacity is 80 liters, lling the tanks
should require approximately 45 liters; in case of much
dierence redo the calibration. Consider also that,
during use, little errors accumulate and if you never ll
the tanks you never “reset” all these errors.

• Enable: enables or disables the visibility of the gauge
on the display, can be YES or NO (default YES).
• Filter: assigns the strenght of the digital lter in a
range from 1 to 100. If the measure is aected by
noise, increase the value. If there is a delay between
the input change and the measurement, the value
should be decreased (default 10).
• Unit: assigns the measurement unit.
• Upper Warning: enable or disable the measurement
check on exeeding the High threshold, can be YES or
NO (default YES).
• Lower Warning: enable or disable the measurement
check on exeeding the Low threshold, can be YES or
NO (default YES).
• Warning: enable or disable the measurement check,
can be YES or NO (default YES).
• Aural enable: if set to YES it plays an aural warning if
EngiMaster audio line out is connected to an intercom.
Can be YES or NO (default YES).
