Overview
The MVP-50 boasts a fully functional bar graph, complete with ROP and
LOP leaning modes, a Normalized Mode, state-of-the-art “peak markers” and separate programmable limits for each
cylinder’s CHT and EGT to alert the pilot of any engine trouble.
ROP Mode
The Rich-of-Peak mode on the MVP-50 informs the pilot when the first
cylinder peaks, as well as how many degrees below peak the engine is operating.
LOP Mode
For Lean-of-Peak Operations, the MVP-50 informs the pilot as each
cylinder peaks, at what temp each peaks, and how far from peak each is. For quick reference, every cylinder’s peak
information is constantly displayed and “tattletale bars” are shown above each cylinder, indicating where each cylinder
peaked the last time the engine was leaned.
Normalized Mode
The Bar Graph can easily be “Normalized,” creating a baseline
from which to monitor in-flight engine temperature changes. When Normalized, all of the bars start off at the same
height. If any cylinder's column is not the same height as the others, than that cylinder's Exhaust Gas Temperature
has changed in relation to the other cylinders. These changes can be critical indicators to problems occuring within
your engine.
Peak Markers
While other monitors don't maintain
your engine's leaning history, The MVP-50's Bar Graph keeps track of exactly where the cylinders peaked during each
leaning process. When leaning, the MVP-50 displays a peak marker indicating where each cylinder peaked during the last
leaning process, providing visual assistance to pilots.
