Jet ECU Interface. Please read the entire manual carefully before proceeding. If, after you read the manual (including the
Troubleshooting section!!), you have further questions or problems, see the Support page on

Features and Benefits of the Jet ECU Interface
The Jet ECU Interface, in conjunction with our Seagull Pro Flight System, provides real-time data and audible feedback
about the state of your Model Jet, while you are flying! Think of the Jet ECU Interface as a Wireless Engine Data
Terminal/GSU for your Jet.
Data such as ECU Turbine RPM, Turbine temperature, Throttle %, ECU Pack and Pump Voltage, and ECU status
messages are retrieved from your ECU and transmitted wirelessly to the Seagull Dashboard. Audible alarms can be
programmed for low Turbine RPM and temperature for early flameout alert, and for ECU pack voltage for low battery
indication. All these parameters are in addition to the standard data parameters that are available on the Pro System.
In addition to display on the LCD screen of the Wireless Dashboard, if the Dashboard is connected to a laptop via USB,
all the ECU data are available live with the Windows Virtual Cockpit application!
Packing List
Your package should include the following: Jet ECU Interface Cable (either AMT Netherlands, JetCat or FADEC), and a
printed version of this manual. Please check your box for printed addenda to this manual which may be included if
changes were made after printing.
Requirements
The Jet ECU Interface requires a Seagull Pro Flight System, with Windows application version 3.39 or later. The latest
version is available on the support page of our website. The Recorder and Dashboard firmware needs to be updated using
“Tools, Firmware Control.”
For JetCat users, version 4.00g of the JetCat ECU is required. For AMT Netherlands users, the Recorder must be
powered with a 4 cell (4.8v pack).
Do you have an ECU that is not currently supported? If so, email us at
and we may be able
to help!
How the Jet ECU Interface Works
The Jet ECU Interface cable plugs between the Pro Flight Recorder the data/telemetry port of your ECU. After simple
Windows configuration, the Recorder reads the ECU parameter data and transmits it to the Wireless Dashboard.
