Electronics International MVP-50T - Manual (Page 28)

“Dist. Reserve:” Distance you can fly beyond your Way Point based on current Distance to Empty and
Distance to Way Point. If the Time Reserve drops below 45 minutes, this value will be displayed in Yellow. If
the Time Reserve drops below 30 minutes, this value will be displayed in Red.
4.5 “Timers” Screen:
The “Timers” screen provides the following timers:
“Up Timer:” An Up Timer is provided with a recurring
alarm. If the alarm is set for 30 minutes, you will get an alarm
every 30 minutes (i.e., 30 min, 60 min, 90 min, etc.). This can
be useful for timing the switching of fuel tanks, periodic
checkups or other important events. A field for starting,
stopping and resetting the timer is provided.
“Down Timer:” A Down Timer is provided with a field for
starting, stopping and resetting the timer. When the timer
reaches 00:00 an alarm will sound and the time will start
counting up with a negative sign shown in the front of the
displayed time.
“Flt Timer:” The Flight Timer automatically times each flight. The Flight Timer is reset and started when the
N1 exceeds 97%. The Flight Timer is stopped when the N1 drops below 60%. The start and stop N1
settings may be changed in the “Engine Data, Hour Meters and Flight Timer Setup” screen found in the
“System Configuration Screens Menu. Only the installer (using the maintenance password) is authorized to
make these changes.
“Voice File:” The Voice File field allows you to select the voice to be activated when the Up Timer reaches
the recurring alarm and/or the Down Timer reaches 00:00.
The Up, Down and Flight Timers can be viewed and controlled in the lower center section of the Main Engine
Screen.
4.6 “Clock and Hour Meters” Screen:
The “Clock and Hour Meter” screen displays Today’s Date, Local
Time, Zulu Time (UTC), Tach Time and Engine Hours. In most
time zones, the minutes portion of Local Time will be the same as
the minutes portion of Zulu Time. For these time zones the MVP
allows you to lock Local minutes to Zulu minutes.
Note: Today’s Date and Local Time are used to time stamp stored
engine data records.
