Leaner Mixture
As the mixture is leaned, EGT rises to a peak temperature, and then drops
as the mixture is further leaned. Peak power occurs at a mixture using
more fuel than at peak EGT. Best economy occurs at peak EGT. Accurate
leaning yields optimal engine temperatures. By being able to precisely
adjust the mixture, your engines can produce either the highest fuel
economy or maximum power, whichever you choose.
A single EGT gauge merely gives you an average of each cylinders
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.

Display Dimming
The entire display panel features automatic dimming. Allow ten seconds
for the display to adjust to ambient lighting conditions.
Modes
There are three standard operating modes of the EDM-760: Automatic
indexing, Manual indexing, and LeanFind. These modes will be
described in more detail beginning on page 11. Most of the time you
will operate the EDM-760 in the Automatic indexing mode. When you
first turn on the power the EDM-760 starts in the Manual indexing mode,
but will enter the Automatic indexing mode after two minutes. The three
modes affect primarily the digital display.
Automatic Indexing Mode
Just tap the LF button, then tap the STEP button. No user intervention
is required to use this mode. Each cylinder and each measurement value is
automatically sequenced and shown in the digital display for a few
seconds.
Manual Indexing Mode
Just tap the STEP button. Automatic Indexing stops. Each indexed
measurement is frozen in the digital display until you manually index to
the next measurement by tapping the STEP button.
Page 7
LeanFind Mode
Simply pre-lean, tap the LF button and begin leaning. The EDM-760
will assist you in finding the first cylinder to peak.
Buttons
Buttons, Front Panel
Two operating buttons control all functions of the EDM-760.
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.

limit the leaning process. TIT red line is generally 1650F, and up to
1750F in some installations. If during leaning the TIT exceeds red line by
less than 100, the LeanFind procedure will continue to operate and the
TIT redline alarm will be suppressed for one minute, allowing you to
complete the leaning process. Otherwise the digital display will show, for
example, I650 TIT and TIT will flash. You will notice that in some
cases the TIT reads 100F hotter than the hottest EGT. This is caused by
unburned fuel in the exhaust igniting at the turbine inlet.
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 100F higher than the factory
installed probe. However, note that the engines were certified with the
factory installed probe and gauge, and this gauge reading is the limiting
factor when adjusting your engines.
Never exceed red line on the factory installed instruments.

* Maintain a cooling rate of less than -60/minute. You will find that the
cylinder with the greatest shock cooling will shift from front cylinders
(during climb out) to the rear cylinders (during descent ).
If one CHT is reading 20 to 50 above or below the others, this may be
due to that cylinder having a spark plug gasket probe instead of a bayonet
probe. This is necessary because the aircrafts factory original CHT probe
is occupying the socket in the cylinder head rather than the EDM-760.
This is normal. If the discrepancy is greater, be sure the spark plug gasket
probe is mounted on the top spark plug. An adapter probe is available to
occupy the same socket as the factory original probe. Contact your dealer.

Start Up Fuel
After initial self-test, you will be asked to inform the EDM-760 of start up
fuel. The EDM-760 will display FUEL for one second, and then flash
FILL? N until any button is pressed. If your aircraft has tank fill tabs and
no auxiliary tanks, you can use the auxiliary tank feature to select either
filling to the tank tabs or topping the tank. See Main Tank Capacity
and Auxiliary Tanks beginning on page 47 to program the EDM-760
for this feature. The EDM-760 does not differentiate fuel flow between
the main and auxiliary tanks; it considers only total fuel in the aircraft.
During flight you may also inform the EDM-760 of startup fuel using
the pilot program mode, page 37, if you forgot to do so at start up.

Then tap the STEP button to complete the entry and advance to the
Manual indexing mode.
Adding Fuel and Auxiliary Tanks
If you either
a) added less than full fuel to only the main tanks, or
b) topped the main tanks but have some fuel remaining in the
auxiliary tanks,
then select FILL + and the next display will ask you how much you
added: .0 GAL (or selected units). Hold the LF button to count up, tap
the LF button to count down. The count up will stop at full tanks, since
you cannot add more fuel than would top the tanks.
If you added fuel to only the main tanks, then input how much you added.
If you topped the main tanks, but have some fuel remaining in the
auxiliary tanks, input how much is now in the auxiliary tanks.
You can add a negative amount of fuel if you remove fuel from the
aircraft or wish to correct the total quantity of fuel on board.
Accumulate TotalTrip Total
You may either display total fuel used since the last time you informed the
EDM-760 that the aircraft was refueled, or
for an extended trip with multiple fuel stops. This selection affects only
the USD measurement. How to select whether to accumulate or reset is
described in Pilot Programming beginning on page 37.
Resetting USED
Every time you inform the EDM-760 that the aircraft is refueled, the
amount of fuel used is set to zero, unless the instrument is programmed to
accumulate. The display of fuel used pertains only to the fuel used since
the last time you informed the EDM-760 that the aircraft was refueled.
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
Page 30
inaccurate (they are only required by the FAA to read accurately when
displaying empty). And measuring time of flight is only an approximation,
and assumes a constant fuel flow rate for each phase of flight.
The EDM-760 Fuel Flow Option uses a small turbine transducer that
measures the fuel flowing into each engine. Higher fuel flow causes the
transducer turbine to rotate faster which generates a faster pulse rate.
Because the transducer turbine generates thousands of pulses per gallon of
fuel, it can measure with high resolution the amount of fuel that the engine
has consumed. Prior to engine start you inform the EDM-760 Fuel Flow
Option of the known quantity of fuel aboard, and it will keep track of all
fuel consumed.

TIT probe must be a type K and the leads must be wired red-to-red and
yellow-to-yellow. Both the EDM-760 and factory original gauge may be
used concurrently. Due to the high input impedance of the EDM-760
instrument, it will not affect the accuracy of the factory installed probe or
gauge.
In normal cruise flight, record the difference between the factory installed
TIT gauge and the EDM-760 TIT reading.

K Factor
The K factor is shown on the fuel flow transducer as a four digit number,
which is the number of pulses generated per gallon of fuel flow. Before
installing the transducers, write down the K factors here
(L)_________(R)__________. To enter the number, move the decimal
point three places to the left. For example if the K factor on the fuel flow
transducer is 29,123, enter 29.12 in the K factor parameter.
The K factor can be changed in the pilot programming procedure. When
the K factor is changed during a trip, calculations of fuel used, fuel
remaining and time to empty are not retroactively recalculated.
Fine Tuning the K Factor
The K factor shown on the fuel flow transducer does not take into account
your aircrafts 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. Note the
actual fuel used (as determined by topping the tanks) and the EDM760 calculation of the fuel consumed for each flight = USD L and
USD R.

Page 40
Total
2. Total the EDM-760 fuel used and the actual fuel used for each
tank.
3. Record the current K factor here left_________ right_________
and in the table below.
4. Calculate the New K Factor as follows:
New K Factor = (EDM-760 fuel used) x (Current K factor)
(actual fuel used)
New K Factor (L) = ((L)
((L)
) x ((L)
)
) x ((R)
)
Every time you fine tune the K factors, record the measurements here:

If you change the display to Celsius, be sure to change the alarm limits to
Celsius degrees. This is not done for you automatically. When an alarm is
displayed, tapping the STEP button will temporarily delete that
measurement from the sequence for the next ten minutes. When an alarm
is displayed, holding the STEP button until the word OFF appears will
delete that measurement from the sequence for the remainder of the flight.
Changing the Alarm Limits
You may prefer to set your own alarm limits Follow the procedure
outlined below to change any of the factory default settings.
To start the alarm limit procedure, after power up, wait until the EDM760 completes its self test and is in the Automatic or Manual indexing
mode. If in doubt, tap the STEP button a few times. Then follow the
steps depicted here:

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-760 does not
differentiate fuel flow between the main and auxiliary tanks; it tracks only
total fuel in the aircraft.
Low Time Alarm Limit
Select the value of the time remaining, in minutes, that triggers the alarm.
Time remaining is calculated at the current fuel flow rate.
Low Fuel Alarm Limit
Select the value of the fuel remaining, in the selected fuel flow units, that
triggers the alarm. Fuel remaining is calculated at the current fuel flow
rate.
Carburetor?
Different response filters are used depending on whether your engines are
carbureted or fuel injected. The filter for a carbureted engine has a slower
response time to reduce sudden fluctuations in readings.
