FS-450M Fuel Scan

Carburetor?

Different response filters are used depending on whether your
engines are carbureted or fuel injected. The filters for a carbureted
engine have a slower response time to reduce sudden fluctuations
in readings. Select FILTR=1, 2 or 3 where higher number is more
smoothing. Pick the lowest number that gives steady readings.

Flow Only

If you want to display only fuel flow, TOTaL and USed without
any alarms and without displaying HR

MN

, REQ, RES, MPG and

REM, enable the flow only setting. To do this, when you see END
Y at the completion of the setup procedure, simultaneously hold
the STEP and AUTO buttons for five seconds. You will see
FLOW ONLY? N. Change the N to a Y by tapping AUTO. Then
tap SET to exit.
