Engine Data Management The EDM Engine Data Management system is the most advanced and accurate piston engine-monitoring instrument on the market. Using the latest microprocessor technology, the EDM will monitor up to twentyfour critical parameters in your engine, four times a second, with a linearized thermocouple accuracy of better than 0.1 percent or 2 F°.
From the cockpit you can adjust the fuel/air ratio by a process called leaning. Retarding the mixture control changes the fuel/air ratio and hence the resulting Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT). The following figure depicts the mixture and temperature relationship. Best economy range Last cylinder to peak. Use for Lean of Peak leaning with GAMI injectors 0 -50 -100 T EG CH First cylinder to peak.
A single EGT gauge merely gives you an average of each cylinder’s temperature: some cylinders can be too rich, while others too lean. Variations produced by differences in fuel distribution, ignition, and compression will cause each cylinder to follow its own mixture and temperature relationship such that one cylinder will reach peak before another.
Normalize and Percentage View Indicators Percentage view: when there is a dash — near the P at the top of the display (EDM-700) or NRM is not lighted (EDM-800), the columns indicate percent of EGT red line. Each column is composed of a stack of segments. A maximum height column depicts 100 % of red line and a one segment-high column depicts 50 % of red line. For example, if the red line is 1650°F, a maximum height column represents 1650°F and a one segmenthigh column represents half that value, or 825°F.
To change the display of engine temperatures see “Changing the Alarm Limits” on page 42. Cylinder Numbers and Dot Index A row of numbers 1 through 6 and the letter T are the column labels for the analog display. The 1 through 6 are the cylinder numbers. If the TIT option is installed, the T denotes the last column is displaying Turbine Input Temperature (TIT) as a column. If the T is absent and the Oil temperature option is installed, the last column displays Oil temperature.
(three digits). Other parameters are displayed in the digital display as described in the subsection “Parameter Scan— EDM-700 without Fuel Flow Option” on page 9. The EDM-711 will briefly display EGT – CHT before displaying the numerical values.

LeanFind Mode Simply pre-lean, tap the LF button and begin leaning. The EDM will assist you in finding the first cylinder to peak. Buttons I340 376 STEP STEP button EDM-700 JPI LF LF button Buttons, Front Panel Two operating buttons control all functions of the EDM. The term tap will be used to denote pressing a button momentarily. The term hold will be used to denote pressing and holding a button for five seconds or longer. STEP Button Located on the lower left side near the instrument face.
In Automatic or Manual modes, tapping the LF button will change to the LeanFind mode. In Automatic or Manual modes holding the LF button for three seconds will toggle between Percentage and Normalize views. P: Percentage view hold LF button for 3 seconds N: Normalize view In the LF mode holding the LF button after peak EGT is found will display peak EGT.
Parameter Example Comments Voltage, System Bus I4.
Section 3 - Operating Procedures Diagnostic Testing on Startup and During Flight When your EDM is first turned on, all digits light up for a few seconds, permitting you to check for non-functional segments. Then each column is self-tested in sequence while the EDM tests internal components, calibration and integrity of the probes. If a problem is found, it will be displayed as OPEN PRB or CAL ERR, followed by the name of the probe or channel.
Then tap both the STEP and LF buttons simultaneously. Excluded parameters display a decimal point before the parameter name. For example: Included: I84 OIL Excluded: I84 .OIL Tapping the STEP and LF buttons simultaneously will toggle back and forth between include and exclude. Every time you turn on the EDM, all parameters are reset to be included. All installed parameters are always displayed in the Manual mode. Exclusion only applies to the Automatic mode.
LeanFind Procedure—Step-by-Step Procedure 1 Establish cruise at approx. 65 to 75% power. Pre-lean the mixture to 50°F estimated rich of peak EGT on any cylinder: _____° Wait one minute Example Comments I490 370 3 4 Tap the LF button *For your first flight with the EDM, use the method shown below. Let engine stabilize. LEAN R 5 Lean the mixture—approx. I520 LF Start LeanFind. (Optionally to change to “lean of peak” method, hold both STEP and LF simultaneously.
Lycoming and Continental engines have established specific restrictions on leaning that must be followed, such as percentage of power, climb leaning, and TIT limits. Lycoming recommends operation at peak EGT for power settings of 75% or lower, while Continental recommends operation at peak EGT for power settings of 65% or lower. This guide is not meant to supersede any specific recommendations of the engine manufacturer or airframe manufacturer. It is your responsibility to know your aircraft’s limitations.
Continue leaning slowly without pausing. With a vernier mixture control, turn the knob about a quarter turn every second. With a nonvernier or quadrant mixture control, lean slowly and smoothly about 1/16 inch every five seconds. Eventually, one cylinder will reach peak before any of the other cylinders. The EDM will determine this automatically. Notice that this cylinder does not necessarily have the hottest EGT.
To use the “lean of peak” method, tap LF and then immediately hold both STEP and LF until you see LEAN L. Once you begin leaning (flashing dot) you cannot change leaning methods. You may toggle back to LEAN R by holding both buttons again. Leaning Lean of Peak Cylinder number flashes when the cylinder peaks 73 1 2 3 4 HP 5 6 TSO First cylinder to peak has CHT largest column 500 Temperature below peak of last cylinder to peak Hold LF to see peak temperature of last cylinder to peak (e.g.
flash. You will notice that in some cases the TIT reads 100°F hotter than the hottest EGT. This is caused by unburned fuel in the exhaust and igniting. The reduced size of the JPI Hastaloy-X-tip probes produces faster response and more accurate than the massive factory installed probe. Therefore JPI probes may read as much as 100°F higher than the factory installed probe.
Operation for each Phase of Flight Engine Run-Up Suggested setup: Verify: uniform rise of about 50°F in all EGTs in single Runup RPM magneto operation uniform rise of EGTs with application of the Normalize view mixture control. Be alert for: Manual mode unusually low voltage (less than nominal battery voltage) cold OIL abnormally high CHT a higher EGT on one cylinder in dual magneto operation—indicates fouled spark plug. Include your EDM on your run-up checklist.
Cruise After the engine is warmed up, use LeanFind to lean the mixture. Suggested setup: Percentage view Automatic mode Be alert for: uneven EGTs or CHTs (carbureted engines). Make fine adjustments to throttle, then RPM, then mixture to level the display columns. abnormal patterns of EGTs and CHT. (see “Diagnosing Engine Problems” on page 21). Descent Suggested setup: Be alert for: Percentage view CLD: shock cooling alarm is set to –60°F.
Common Misapplications Some of the more common misapplications made by first-time EDM users are presented here in an attempt to help you avoid similar problems. Problem Situation Correction Failure to pre-lean before performing LeanFind or stopping while leaning. Follow the pre-lean procedure in the section “LeanFind Mode” on page 12. Leaning too slowly. Lean more quickly. Peak not found Lean Find not activated or stopping while leaning Lean at the speed of approximately 10°F per second.
Section 4 - Diagnosing Engine Problems Typical Normal Parameters The follow chart lists typical normal parameter values that you will observe for most general aircraft engines.
Engine Diagnosis Chart The following chart will help you diagnose engine problems in your aircraft. (Views are Percentage views). Notice that there will be always one CHT that is shown hotter than the others. Display CHT 500 400 Symptom Probable Cause Recommended Action 75° to 100° EGT rise for one cylinder during flight Spark plug not firing due to fouling, faulty plug, wire or distributor. Enrich mixture to return EGT to normal. Have plugs checked.
Display CHT Symptom Probable Cause EGT and CHT not uniform Dirty fuel injectors or fouled plugs. Check injectors and plugs. Nonuniformity is normal for carbureted engines Decrease in EGT for all cylinders Decrease in airflow into the induction system. Carb or induction ice. Check for change in manifold pressure. Engine units set to Celsius Check that the alarm limits are set to Celsius degrees Slow rise in EGT. Low CHT Burned exhaust valve. CHT is low due to low power output.
Display Symptom Probable Cause Recommended Action (no picture) Loss of peak EGT Poor ignition or vapor in fuel injection system. Have magneto tested. (no picture) Decrease in peak or flat EGT response to leaning process Detonation. Usually the result of 80 Octane fuel in 100 Octane engine. Enrich mixture, reduce power and relean mixture. Repeat to find power setting where normal peak is obtained or run rich. Below 10,000 ft.
When an alarm is displayed, tapping the STEP button will temporarily disable the alarm digital indication for the next ten minutes. When an alarm is displayed, holding the STEP button until the word OFF appears will disable that alarm digital indication for the remainder of the flight. See “Alarm Limits” on page 41. EDM-711 primary alarm display lamps cannot be disabled. Alarm Priority If multiple alarms occur simultaneously, the higher priority alarm will temporarily “mask” the lower priority alarm(s).
pre-ignition will destroy your engine in less than a minute unless you take immediate corrective action. Section 5 - Fuel Flow Option Operation Fuel Flow Display Select Switch The select switch is a three-position toggle switch mounted on your instrument panel near the display of the EDM. It affects only the display scan. In the EGT (Temperature) position only the installed temperature (and battery voltage) parameters are displayed.

To reset to zero the amount of fuel used at any point in time, manually step to display USD and hold both buttons for five seconds until the display shows .0 USD. Fuel Management Without a means of measuring fuel flow, you must rely on the aircraft fuel gauges or total time of flight. Aircraft fuel gauges are notoriously inaccurate (they are only required by the FAA to read accurately when displaying empty).

For fuel calculations to be accurate, it is imperative that you inform the EDM of the correct amount of fuel aboard the aircraft. Do not rely on fuel flow instruments to determine fuel levels in tanks. Refer to original fuel flow instrumentation for primary information Section 6 - Long Term Data Memory The EDM Long Term Data Memory will record and store all displayed parameters once every six seconds (or at the programmed interval of between 2 to 500 seconds).
At power on, the EDM will execute its self test and then display the date (e.g., I I. I2.0 I), the time (I3.26), the percentage of memory filled since the last save (FULL 24), and the Aircraft ID. Downloading from Long Term Memory To download data from the long term memory to your laptop PC, do the following steps. 1. Connect the data cable between the PC serial port and the EDM data port connector mounted on your instrument panel. 2. Run the EzPlot program on the PC. 3.
To download EDM data into a USB flash drive using the accessory USB memory box, follow these instructions. 1. Insert the serial cable plug into the front panel of the EDM. Insert the other end of the serial data cable into the 9-pin jack on the memory box. (The serial cable is supplied with the EDM, not the memory box.) 2. Turn on the power switch on the memory box; the red light on the memory box will light up. 3. Insert the USB flash drive into the USB port on the memory box.
4. Remove the USB flash drive from the USB connector. This completes the download. Continue to the next step. Downloading from USB Flash Drive to a PC To download your data from the USB flash drive to your PC, follow these easy steps. 1. On your PC, start the EzTrends program. 2. Plug in the USB flash drive into an available USB port. 3. In EzTrends, select the Move and Plot Data from Memory Stick option. 4. In the displayed list, find the USB flash drive and double click it. 5.

Fine Tuning the K Factor The K factor shown on the fuel flow transducer does not take into account your aircraft’s particular installation. Fuel hose diameters and lengths, elbows, fittings and routing can cause the true K factor to be different from that shown on the fuel flow transducer. You must use the following procedure to fine tune the K factor. 1. Make at least three flights of about two to three hours each.
Fuel Flow Option Programming Procedure Setting the K factor This procedure is different than for setting other parameters. Place the select switch in the FF position. If you haven’t already done so, start the pilot programming procedure, simultaneously hold the STEP and LF buttons for five seconds. You will see the word PROGRAM for two seconds. 1.

If you do not have auxiliary tanks or tank tabs, answer “No.” If you answer “Yes,” you will be asked to input the capacity of the auxiliary tanks in the fuel flow units selected. If you have tank tabs and sometimes fill only to the tabs, set the auxiliary tank capacity to the difference between full tank capacity and tab capacity. The EDM does not differentiate fuel flow between the main and auxiliary tanks; it tracks only total fuel in the aircraft.
Initially Entering the Tank Capacity To initialize or change the tank capacities, hold the STEP button while turning on the power to the EDM. The following program steps will be displayed: Tap STEP to advance Tap the LF button to sequence through these values MAIN=50 MAIN=0 … MAIN=999 AUX? N AUX? NAUX?
