Eagle Tree Systems ECU-JETCAT manual Range Checking and Flying, Troubleshooting

Page 3

Now, you should see the list of ECU parameters that can be displayed on the Dashboard, as well as the other Seagull Parameters. Select the desired parameters and configure alarms on the new ECU parameters as described in your Seagull Pro Flight System manual.

Here is specific information about the

ECU parameters:

ECU Throttle % - this indicates the throttle deflection percentage ECU Turbine Temperature – this indicates the turbine temperature. Note that it is ALWAYS in Degrees C on the Dashboard, even if English units are selected in the application

ECU Turbine RPM – this indicates the turbine RPM. IMPORTANT: please make sure that you place the RPM display on either the left upper or left lower display location (not on the right side of the screen). This is because RPM can go about 99,999, which means it won’t display properly on the right side.

ECU Status – this page on the Dashboard

indicates the status of the ECU. The messages vary depending on which ECU you have, and should be similar to the messages your Data Terminal/GSU currently displays. When no ECU is detected, “ECU NOT DETECTED” is displayed on the ECU status page of the dashboard.

ECU Pack Voltage – this indicates the voltage of the ECU’s main power supply.

ECU Pump Voltage – this indicates the current pump voltage. NOTE: on the FADEC, this indicates the pump duty cycle.

Live Mode Application Display

All of the ECU parameters can be displayed in application Live Mode, when either the Dashboard or the Recorder is connected to your PC/Laptop via USB. To configure the parameters to display in Live Mode, click “Tools, Choose Instruments to Display on PC Screen” and the ECU options should appear on the righthand side of this page.

Range Checking and Flying

IMPORTANT: It is unlikely that the installation of the Eagle Tree system will cause problems with radio range. But, as always, it is critical to do an antenna-down range check, per your jet/radio manufacturer’s instructions, after making any changes to your jet’s electronics (and frankly before every flight session). Eagle Tree recommends that the range check be done with the turbine running, to completely verify operation (if this can be done safely).

Happy Flying! We’d love to see pictures of your installation and get your feedback. Just email us at info@eagletreesystems.com.
