Oil Pressure Settings on AFS 5600
Posted: Fri Apr 09, 2021 1:14 pm
I have an Advanced Flight System 5600 EFIS. AFS is now owned and "supported" by Dynon. I purchased the plane used and since the beginning, I've been getting check oil pressure fairly regularly but just once and not repeated. When I check, it is always fine. I e-mailed support and was told how to access the oil pressure settings but when I got there, I could not map the POH to the settings presented in the EFIS.
I e-mailed back a week ago and have not received a response. Below is my e-mail. I'm hoping someone in the group can tell me what values to enter:
*******************************
I feel like I am being really dense but I can’t figure out how to map the values in my POH to the options found in Set-Cal-Oil Pressure.
The POH (I’ve converted the numbers from Bars to PSI) has the following:
Red Line Min 12
Green Arc 29-73
Yellow Arc 12-29
__________73-102
Red Max 102
The options given in the AFS and the current settings (probably wrong) are:
Red Top 100
Red Hi 90
Yellow Hi 80
Yellow Lo 38
Red Lo 30
Min 0
Shift 0
I have no idea what shift is and I don’t see how I get the two segments of the yellow arc from the choices I have. Also, Red Top is not clear.
