 (Click image for a larger view) | The MAP60-A, Manifold Absolute Pressure Gauge provides an accurate digital display of your engine’s intake manifold absolute pressure. Commonly found and used in high performance aircraft with constant speed propellers, and/or with boost devices such as super and turbochargers.
The MAP60-A is set up to use the UMA 5-60 InHg absolute pressure transducer. The display will show manifold pressure in tenth of an inch increments, from 5.0 to 60.0 InHg. The LOW and HIGH user settable alarms can be set over the entire range.
The HIGH alarm in this case might be set to alert the pilot to a “OVERBOOST” condition. When activated the built-in 85dB alarm will sound and the display will flash. The External Alarm output would most likely be used to activate an annunciator/warning “OVERBOOST” condition light. Five levels of backlighting can be selected and then all setup, and alarm values will be saved to a nonvolatile memory.
