1.0.1 DPU MOUNTING
The unit should not be mounted in the engine compartment, but
v installation and removal. NOTE: lf you have a'Fuel Level System'
you may want to calibrate it before mounting the DPU. (See section
on FUEL LEVEL SYSTEM OPERATION.)
1.0.2 DPU WIRING
All power, ground and transducer wires (except fuel level transducers
connect) to the DPU terminal blocks. See each respective
installation section for conneclions.
= DO NOT: connect J4-16 to the same aircraft circuit breaker as
J4-1 5.
- DO NOT: allow wire insulation or foreign objects into the
position being connected to.
- DO NOT: over tighten the set screw onto the wire. lnstead,
the wire needs to be securely held, but not crushed to the
point of separation. Test the wire for security after tightening.
The use of a 'Jewelers Screwdrive/ will provide enough
\--l torque for the job.
3 DO NOT: allow bare wires touch the metal case or adjacent
leads.
= DO NOT: bend the wires where they exit the terminal block
position, instead, form a radius away from the terminal block
position.
::) DO NOT: allow static electricity to contact any terminal.

1.0.3 INDICATOR MOUNTING & WIRING
The indicator is mounted to the panel from the back side. Four
mounting screws are provided for this purpose. Do not use longer
screws or damage to the instrument will result. The supplied screws
will accommodate panel thicknesses from 0.062 to 0.050 inches. lf a
panel thickness of other than this is required, then determine the
difference in thickness and procure new screw length accordingly.
Test your new screw lengths by finger tightening them into the panel
and indicator. The screws should tighten against the panel only and
should not 'bottom out' in the indicator. Be careful not to cross thread
the screws or the indicator bezel will be permanently damaged. The
indicator cut-out and mounting space requirement's information is
provided in 'SECTION 5 ILLUSTRATIONS'.
To wire indicators to DPU simply plug any display cable connector
into the back of the indicator observing the keying tab to notch.
1.0.4 DISPLAY CABLE FABRICATION
(P/N 401000s)
STEP 1: Carefully move the connectors into the positions required on
the flat. ribbon cable for your panel layout. They may face
either up or down. Look for the small embossed arrowhead on
the cable connectors that points to an edge of the cable.
MAKE SURE ALL CONNECTOR ARROWHEADS POINT TO
THE SAME EDGE OF THE CABLE AS THE INSTALLED DPU
CABLE CONNECTOR I
STEP 2: The connector is secured to the ribbon cable by closing it in
clean smooth jaws of a vise until ine sides 'snap over' into
position. Make sure the cable connector is SQUARE TO THE
CABLE before any closing takes place. Once installed,
connectors and cable cannot be re-used !
STEP 3: Once all connectors are installed, trim any excess cable
away by using a new SHARP pair of scissors. lnspect the cut
to insure that adjacent wires are not touching each other.
INSURE that once installed, the trimmed ends of the cable do not
touch anything.
50lr)002 REv FVM IIIIIII OWNERS MANUAL

SECTION I INSTALLATION
1.0.5 MODE SWITCH INST.
(P/N 3010023)
The mode selector switch assembly can be mounted anywhere within
reach of the indicator connector.
STEP 1: Once the switch hole has been located and drilled, remove
the paper backing and vinyl front covering from the switch
plate. The switch plate has an adhesive backing to aid in
placement of the plate. Press the plate into position.
STEP 2: Rotate the switch shaft as far counter-clockwise as it will
travel (as viewed facing the shaft). The switch comes with the
lock washer and nut loosely installed. When removing the nut,
DO NOT remove the silver ring underneath. lf you have
accidentally moved the silver ring, it should be placed back
onto the switch with the tab inserted into the hole between
switch position numbers '9' and '10'. This tab acts as a stop to
only allow 9 possible switch positions.
STEP 3: lnsert the switch assembly (switch, silver ring and lock
washer) through the back of the panel. Place the nut on the
switch and finger tighten. Place the knob over the shaft such
that one of the two set screws is perpendicular to the 'flat' on
the shaft. Tighten this set screw. Now rotate the entire switch
assembly until the slotted line on the knob is aligned with the
left lower white line on the switch plate.
STEP 4: lf necessary, carefully remove the knob without disturbing
the current switch assembly location. Now CAREFULLY
tighten the nut (too much force will break the switch) . lf
necessary, reinstall the knob as before and tighten both set
screws. Verify correct alignment with all switch plate positions.
Plug the switch assembly connector into the small connector
on the appropriate indicator.

1.4 FUEL COMPUTER SYSTEM INSTALLATION
1.4.1 FUEL FLOW TRANSDUCER INST.
(P/N 3010019, 32)
The inlet and outlet of the transducer are tapped with 1/4 inch
internal NPT. Use only aircraft grade hoses and fittings when
adapting to the 1/4 NPT. Wrap the transducer with a heat barrier
material such as 'FIRE SLEEVE'. The transducer should be mounted
where only filtered, clean fuel flows through it and on the enqine
pressurized sidg of the fuel svstelrn. The primary considerations
for mounting are:
=) DO NOT: mount the transducer where 'upstream turbulence'
exists (such as sharp bends or any disturbances in the fuel
line). A minimum straight run of 5 inches of inlet fuel line is
recommended after these types of disturbances to settle fuel
flow.
::) DO NOT: ground the flow transducer body to any part of the
engine or aircraft if possible, os this forms a'ground loop'path
through the grounded body of the transducer and may affect
the transducer signal. lf this cannot be complied with then
INSURE that the engine is EXTREMELY well grounded to the
same point as the DPU. Proper engine grounding is facilitated
by the use of a common ground BUS bar and heavy gauge (H
or lower AWG) wire. See your aircraft manual.
ORIENTATION
TRANSDUCER P/N 3010019 (CARBURETED) the transducer is
mounted with the arow on the side pointing straight UP and
also with the fuel flow in the proper direction (lN to OUT).
TRANSDUCER P/N 3010032 (INJECTED) mount the transducer
so that the three WIRE LEADS exit the transducer straight UP
and also with the fuel flow in the proper direction (lN to OUT).
The transducer is mounted 'in-line' between the fuel flow
controller and the flow divider and away from extreme heat.

1.5 CYLINDER ANALYZER INSTALLATION
1.5.1 CYLINDER HEAD TEMP PROBE INST.
(PlN 1020061)
lnstall the probe assemblies in the tapped holes located on the
underside of the cylinders. The threads in the holes may require
cleaning. Proceed carefully to prevent damaging the threads.
Route wires away from exhaust stacks and other heat sources with
enough slack to allow for engine vibration, etc. Do not route the leads
creating stress where they exit the probe. A gradual radius away from
the spring is best.
1.5.2 EXHAUST GAS TEMP PROBE INST.
(P/N 1020060)
Drill an adequate access hole, for the probe tip, in the exhaust pipe,
at a location 3.5 to 4 inches (if possible) down from the exhaust pipe
flange, such that the lead wires will exit the probe smoothly without
creating sharp bends, while remaining away from exhaust stacks and
other heat sources. Angle the probe assembly inward and toward the
back of the engine allowing the leads to be secured as they travel
back along the side of the engine oil sump.
lnstall the probe by opening the clamp ring and placing the probe into
the exhaust pipe drilled hole. Close and tighten the clamp ring using
a screwdriver. Do not over tighten clamp or clamp failure may
eventually occur. Make sure the clamp is not crooked on the exhaust
pipe or it will loosen up during flight.
Secure the wires along their paths to the DPU, to prevent vibration
and abrasion with enough slack to allow for engine vibration, etc.
Route wires away from exhaust stacks and other high heat sources.
Do not route the leads creating stress where they exit the probe. A
gradual radius away from the spring is best.
Use standard aircraft wiring techniques and materials.
