Option 2: Connect the EDC to the aircraft’s Nose Gear green down light. The state of all three gears
will be displayed on the MVP based on the Nose Gear’s state. Select “Gear All” for the probe in
Configuration Screen #1. This configuration requires one EDC input.
Option 3: Use this option to display only the Left and Right Main Gears (no Nose Gear) from a single
input. Select “Gear Main” for the probe in Configuration Screen #1. This configuration requires one
EDC input.
Note: When setting colors use Green for down and White for up, Red will cause an error.
Gear Up Warning: To provide a Gear Warning, the MVP must be monitoring Gear Position, Airspeed
and Manifold pressure. A voice warning is activated on the following logic:
(Any Gear is up -OR- the Unsafe Indicator is on) -AND- Airspeed is less than a set value -AND-
Manifold Pressure is less than a set value.
Note: See the “Aircraft Number, Gear Warning and TAS Setup” screen to set values.
Flaps:
Analog input signals are calibrated using the “Flaps, Trim and Special Function Calibration” screen.

The MVP-50x will display annunciators activated by digital input signals routed into a Temp or Resistive
Fuel Level channel on the EDC. An annunciator for landing lights, nav lights, boost pump, door or

puts, ignition status, faults, ATR, switch settings and many more status indications may be displayed on

When the MVP is off, these functions are kept alive via the MVP's backup battery.
Engine Hours and Tach Time (MVP-50P):
Engine Hours signify the time the engine has been operating (RPM above 350). Tach Time is the time the
engine was operated above 1190 RPM. When the MVP is off, these functions are keep alive via the
backup battery. In order to protect from loosing these values (in case of a battery failure), values are
saved to Flash Memory at the end of each flight.
Engine Hours and # Cycles (MVP-50T):
Engine Hours signify the time the engine has been operating above an N1 setting. The number of Cycles
increments when N1 goes above a setting and arms for the next count when N1 drops below a setting.
These settings can be found in the “Engine Data ..... Setup” screen.

The Flight Timer automatically starts when the RPM goes above a Start setting and stops when the RPM
goes below a Stop setting. These settings can be found in the “Engine Data ..... Setup” screen.
