engine continues to accelerate until idle RPM is reached. Now, the command of the

turbine will be taken over by the transmitter.

Turbine stopping and cooling

• The user can finish the sequence at any moment, simply setting the trim to "off"

position. If the engine was on "running" phase (above idle rpm), a cooling sequence

will be triggered, cycling the starter motor until the EGT is below the minimum

programmed temperature. This cooling sequence will be aborted if the trim is raised

again.

• If the engine is hot (EGT higher than the minimum temperature) at the moment

that the user triggers the auto start cycle, then the FADEC will begin a cooling cycle

until the temperature is below 100C.

Manual cool down:

In the event if the engine does go into the cool down mode after the turbine shuts

down or flames-out, the user can lower the trim, and advance throttle stick to trigger

cooling from starter. Make sure you simulate the auto cooling sequence and monitor

the real time temperature and do not leave motor running to longer than a couple of

seconds.

Another option is to unplug reconnect power to ECU, this power cycle will enable ECU

to recognize that the engine temperature is still higher than normal, and should

engage auto cool down.

RUN menus

Under this submenu, the parameters used for the engine during normal run can be

modified. Note: Some of these menus parameters cannot be changed by user. It

was factory set for best operation and to protect turbine. Please do not change

these values set by factory. This may void your warranty!

Full power speed: On this screen you can set the RPM that the engine will run at

100% throttle. If the engine manufacturer has set a maximum limit, you will only be

able to reduce the max RPM, (145,000 for the K-80 and 125,000 for the K-170)
