Electronics International MVP-50T - Manual (Page 23)

3.4 Gear Up Warning:
The MVP can provide a gear up voice warning if the following functions are monitored: Gear Position, N1 and
Airspeed. As you enter the pattern and reduce N1 the aircraft’s Airspeed will start dropping. If N1 and Airspeed
drop below a programmed level (set for your aircraft) and the Landing Gear is not down and locked, you will get a
voice warning.
This method allows you to perform low power, fast descents and high power, low speed climbs without annoying
warnings. The setup for the Gear Warning is covered in the Appendix. If you have a retractable gear aircraft, this
feature will sooner or later pay for the MVP many times over.
3.5 Engine and System Functions:
The left side of the display area provides up to seven digital instruments or annunciators (such as Canopy, Baggage
Door, Landing Lights, Rotating Beacon, etc.). The right side of the display area provides up to four horizontal strip
gauges with digital displays. All of these instruments may be configured with various functions or annunciators.
3.6 Annunciators (CAS):
The top right portion of the System Screen provides fourteen installer-defined annunciators and the center right
portion of the screen provides nine Main Engine Screen annunciators. All of these annunciators are the same as
shown on the Main Engine Screen. If any function or annunciator goes into the red or yellow, the appropriate
display will blink. In this way the pilot is alerted of a potential problem and should view the appropriate screen for
further information. Annunciator operation was covered in a previous section of this manual.
3.7 Five Digital Instruments from the Main Screen:
The bottom right portion of the System Screen provides up to five primary functions from the Main Engine Screen.
If any function goes into the red or yellow, the appropriate display will blink. In this way the pilot is alerted of a
potential problem and should view the Main Engine Screen for further information.
