Two
primary features of the FP-5 are a pilot programmable low fuel
alert and a pilot programmable low time to empty alert. These
alerts catch your attention by blinking the low fuel LED which
will turn off when acknowledged by pushing any button or switch.
These alerts can be at any time from the front panel of the
FP-5. By setting these alerts, the FP-5 becomes a Fuel Managing
Co-Pilot, alerting you when it is time to check your fuel levels,
switch tanks, compare your time to destination calculations
to the FP-5 readings or any other function you need to perform.
Another primary feature of the FP-5 is a Pilot Programmable
low fuel warning. This warning catches your attention by blinking
the low fuel LED which will turn off when acknowledged by pushing
any button or switch. This warning is an emergency warning,
similar to those on other fuel flow instruments, but it is
pilot programmable from the front panel at any time. This programmability
allows you to set the limit to your specifications according
to your aircraft and your desired safety margin (not a fixed
limit chosen by a loran or fuel flow manufacturer). FP-5L kits
interface with any GPS or Loran that has an Argus RS-232 output
part.
To further manage your fuel
and provide safety the FP-5 displays fuel pressure in .2 PSI
increments to 100 PSI. In addition it offers 1 pilot programmable
Low Fuel Pressure Warning & 1 Pilot Programmable High Fuel
Pressure Warning. These warnings catch your attention by blinking
the H/L press. LED. These warnings are emergency warnings and
can be instrumented in early problem detection. Features include programmable K factor, programmable
fuel weight, programmable display for gal. or lbs., fuel
flow to .1 gal/hr., fuel used and remaining to 1/10 of a
Gallon, time to empty to one minute, fuel pressure to .2
PSI, one programmable low fuel alert, one programmable time
to empty alert, one programmable high fuel pressure warning.
