Page 5: Introduction
This manual describes the installation and operation of the Turbine Start Limit & Monitor (TSLM) from VR Avionics when used with a Walter/GE M601 engine. The TSLM is a unit (black box) which can function standalone or with other units (black boxes) from VR Avionics as shown below. This manual is dedicated to the TSLM, so when planning to install further units the user must also include the manuals of these other units. -
Page 6: Operation
The pre-start checks can be bypassed by double-clicking the START button. The “double-click start override” setting must be enabled in the TSLM configuration for this to work. 06/29/16 © 2016 VR Avionics page 6 of 33... -
Page 7: Initiating A Run
While conducting the run the TSLM did not detect any signal from the N1 sensors. A signal should have been detected. Check wiring. If you get the above warning, check your wiring to rectify this. See also Determining Engine State. 06/29/16 © 2016 VR Avionics page 7 of 33... -
Page 8: Automatic Protection Limiting
In this alternative (where N1 will read zero) both the ITT and N2 parameters need to be above 400 (400 °C ITT and 400 rpm N2) for the engine state to be considered as running. 06/29/16 © 2016 VR Avionics page 8 of 33... -

1 second. The TSLM light will then stop blinking, which will indicate that the TSLM is now ready to accept new commands from the pilot (start, run, etc.). 06/29/16 © 2016 VR Avionics page 9 of 33... -

Page 14: Electrical Installation
A short circuit between any of the wires may cause damage to the TSLM and/or other equipment. VR Avionics does not supply connectors or wire for wiring up your TSLM. We recommend that standard aircraft grade wiring and connectors be used during installation. 20 gauge wire is sufficient for most lines to the unit. -

12 and 24 of the TSLM module. The ground wire will not be carrying large current, which means a single 20 AWG wire to pin 13 will be sufficient. Figure 1 - Power and Ground Wiring 06/29/16 © 2016 VR Avionics page 15 of 33... -
Page 16: Ignition Circuit
When using two separate exciter (igniter) boxes, each one only capable of driving one spark-plug, the ignition circuit in the following figure may be used instead… Figure 3 - Dual Exciters Ignition Circuit Wiring 06/29/16 © 2016 VR Avionics page 16 of 33... -

The diagram below shows the connection of the N2 tach-generator to the TSLM. The tach- generator signal is strong enough to be shared with other instruments. Figure 14 - Propeller Speed Sense Wiring 06/29/16 © 2016 VR Avionics page 21 of 33... -
Page 22: Inter Turbine Temperature Sensing (Itt)
Walter M601 type E-11 engines are equipped with 4 ITT wires, 2 for main instrumentation and 2 for an electronic limiting unit. For conformity we recommend connecting the red wire (ITT+) to pin 1 of the TSLM and the green wire (ITT-) to it's pin 14, when installing it on an type E-11 engine. -
