Table 15.Oil Pressure Amber And Red Indications - Eclipse 500 System Manual

Section 8. Engines & Fire Protection
Oil pressure is continuously displayed on the MFD with a digital readout and with a
moving tape and digital readout on the engine synoptic page. Oil pressure is
displayed on a normalized scale from 0 to 10 rather than in PSI.
An adjacent tape displays oil pressure limits. Operating limits in PSI change with N
RPM. However, this is transparent to the pilot. The color bands display constant
limits regardless of the engine RPM.
When oil pressure is in the normal (green band) range the moving tape and digital
value are white. If the oil pressure is in the caution (amber band) range (either high
or low), the tape and digital value are amber.
The amber bands and the lower red band incorporate a time delay for transient
conditions.
If the oil pressure is in the high caution range of 8.1-9.0 for greater than 5 minutes,
the digital value and tape turn amber and a L(R) OIL PRESSURE HIGH warning
message appears. This message also appears instantaneously if the oil pressure
enters the high warning range, above 9.0.
If the oil pressure is in the low caution range of 1.0-1.9 for more than 90 seconds, the
digital value and tape turn red and a L (R) OIL PRESSURE LOW warning message
appears. This message also appears if the oil pressure enters the low warning range
for more than 15 seconds.
