ENGINE INDICATING SYSTEM (EIS)

OIL PRESSURE INDICATION

Engine oil pressure is shown by the OIL PSI horizontal indicator on the
ENGINE page. The indicator range is 0 to 130 PSI with a minimum
redline at 39 PSI, a amber band from 40 to 84 PSI (caution range), a
green band from 85 to 105 PSI (normal operating range) and a
maximum redline at 105 PSI. A white pointer indicates actual oil
pressure. Oil pressure is shown numerically above the horizontal
indicator.
When oil pressure is the normal operating range, indications 85 to 105
PSI, the OIL PSI label and pointer will remain white and digital value
will be green.
When oil pressure is the caution range, indications 40 to 84 PSI, the
OIL PSI label and pointer will turn amber and the digital value will be
amber background with black text.
When oil pressure is the warning range, indications 0 to 39 PSI or 106
to 130 PSI, the OIL PSI label and pointer will turn red and the digital
value will change to red background with white text to show that oil
pressure is outside normal limits.
The oil pressure transducer, connected to the accessory case oil
pressure port, provides a signal to the engine display that is processed
and shown as oil pressure. A separate low oil pressure switch causes
an OIL PRESS LOW annunciation on the PFD when oil pressure is 0 to
39 PSI. A red X through the oil pressure indicator means that the
indicating system is inoperative.

OIL TEMPERATURE INDICATION

Oil temperature (OIL °C) is displayed using a varied color tape and
digital display; the display can be 3 digits on the ENGINE page. The
instrument is operated by an electrical-resistance type temperature
sensor. Normal operation is indicated between 32 and 99°C; Amber
caution regions are indicated from -40 to 31°C and from 100 to 104°C.
Red lines are included at -41 and 105°C. Digits vary in color between
green, amber or red in correlation with the pointer and tape.
