2.3 Arc Gauges:
The Arc Gauges incorporate a digital readout and an analog arc. The color of
the digital readout will reflect the current operating level of the instrument (i.e.,
if the N1 is operating in the red, the digital readout will be red).
The digital display can be set to blink when a functions operating level reaches
a yellow and/or red operating range. To stop the blinking, push any button, or
rotate the SELECT knob. Also, acknowledging a voice warning using the
external “Voice Alarm Control Panel” will stop the blinking of any digital
display.
2.4 Vertical Strip Gauges:
The Vertical Strip Gauges provide the following features:
A. The colored operating ranges shown on the Vertical Strip are
programmable and may be set up for any aircraft.
B. Each Vertical Strip Gauge features an arrow marking the current
operating level. Also, the arrow allows the pilot to interpret rate
and trend information and provides field of vision.
C. A digital display is featured with each Vertical Strip Gauge.
D. The digital display can be set to blink when a function’s operating
level reaches a yellow and/or red operating range. To stop the blinking, push any button, or rotate the
Select knob. Also, acknowledging a voice warning using the external “Voice Alarm Control Panel” will
stop the blinking of any digital display.
2.5 Annunciators (CAS):
An EDC temperature or resistive fuel level channel can be connected to a switch, relay or device via a VI-221
interface circuit. The signals from these devices are usually high or low and can be used to generate an annunciator.
An annunciator can be displayed in any color for a high or low signal. If the color white was selected for one of the
signal levels, the annunciator will not be displayed for that signal level.
