Flashing cylinder I.D. box
identifies that EGT increased
at least 15°F. EDM is now
looking for first EGT to peak.

6

Stop leaning when
a column begins
flashing. You will see

LEANEST

for one

second, followed by:

EGT

FF

12.4

Flashing cylinder I.D. box
AND its column indicates
leanest cylinder. Due to
thermal inertia this will usually
be about -15°F down the lean
side of peak.

7

If you hold PEAK, the
values of EGT and FF
when peak was found
are displayed.

EGT

Captured peak EGT value and
peak FF are displayed.

If you tap PEAK, the
difference from peak
EGT is shown. Tap
again to return to the
peaked EGT value.

A useful mode for setting
mixture the desired degrees
rich of peak - no math
required! NOTE: Unit

Slowly enrich the
mixture noting that
EGT is returning to
peak. Stop enriching
at the desired EGT.
‘Peak’: best Econ.
