6.18 “4. Redlines, Limits and Color Setup” Screen:
This screen allows you to program up to five Color Ranges for
any Function.
“Function:” This field allows you to select which Function will
be programmed.
“Display Name:” This field allows you to change the name of
the Function shown in the display.
“Display Units:” For most Functions you may select the units in
which the Function will be displayed on the Main Engine
Instrument Screen.
“Disable This Display:” A “Yes” is this field will cause a
function to be displayed with the words “Disabled” in the digital
section of the gauge. If a function is inaccurate or operating improperly, it should be disabled.
“Set the Color Ranges in units of:” The Color Ranges for a Function must be set in the units listed in this field.
The “Display Units” field sets the units in which the Function will be displayed on the Main Engine Screen.
“Displayed Operating Range (From__To__):” These fields allow you to set the operating range of the Arc or
Horizontal Strip Gauges. Note: Set the “To” field approximately 10% over the maximum operating limit. This
allows room for the red limit area to show up on the arc or horizontal strip.
“Color Range 1 to 5:” Each color used to set the various ranges of operation have a priority. The priority,
starting from the lowest to highest, is White, Green, Blue, Orange, Pink, Yellow and Red. If one color’s operating
range overlaps another’s, the color with the higher priority will overwrite the color with the lower priority. Normally
the colors blue, orange and pink should only be used to set narrow markers in an Arc or Horizontal Strip Gauge. A
narrow marker can be used to designate RPM or MP values required to achieve specific climb or descent rates,
mark a fuel flow setting for leaning or mark a narrow reference spot on a gauge.
Refer to your aircraft’s POH when setting the Color Ranges. Start with the lowest value and work up to the
highest. White is the default color. If an area is not designated by any color, it will be displayed as white.
FAR 21.1549 requires that the maximum and minimum safe operating ranges be marked in Red, any precautionary
ranges must be marked in Yellow and the normal operating range be marked in Green. It is important to adhere
to FAR 23.1549 requirements.

“Yellow Off With Ack” - This setting turns off all yellow extenal warnigs when acknowledged but keeps
all red external warnings steady on. This is the perferred setting.
