Page 4: Safety Notes
Jets-Munt Representatives: Check the current dealer list on our web page, www.jets-munt.com Safety Notes Please remember the engine is not a toy and has the potential to cause bodily harm to you and others if misused. The MERLIN engine is a sophisticated piece of machinery and should be treated with a high level of safety when it is in operation. -

Page 6: Installation Notes
controlled by varying the speed of the fuel pump through an electronic controller called an ECU (electronic control unit), that is connected to the engine trough a 3 wire digital data bus. Installation Notes 1. The engine should be mounted using the strap mount supplied or an approved equivalent. 2. -
Page 7: Engine Installation: Electrical Connections
This Smart Data terminal includes dedicated screens for radio checking, last shutdown cause and other special turbine operations. The most innovative and useful function is the internal recorder/playback function. The terminal continuously stores all the data received from the ecu, keeping in its permanent memory all the data of last 66 minutes of engine run, without the need of the memory card. -
Page 8: Engine Installation: Fuel System
Connect the 3 wire powerbus to the engine and to the ecu. This lead can be extended. Although Data signal can be used with lead lengths up to 10 meters, the power looses on power wires (red and black) will increase with length, so thicker cooper section must be used on long lengths. - Page 9 ECU (Engine Control Unit) Set Up The new ECU system of the XBL series is of modular design. All parameters concerning the engine operation and run timers are stored in the engine and transferred to the ecu during power up, enabling the replacement of the ecu without any adjustment, or, replacement of the engine without readjusting the ecu, even with a different engine model.
- Page 10 Press the (right hand button (+)) to confirm that you Stick Up Trim Up really want to program the radio. The screen will (Full power) change to: RPM 00000 PW 000 On your transmitter, raise first the trim to full, and next the throttle stick to full, in this order.

Page 11: Preparing The Engine For Running
There are many more parameters that can be modified in the ECU, but we have specifically programmed your ecu with the optimum settings, further adjustment should not be required and can only be carried out by Jets Munt SL or your authorized dealer. Preparing the engine for running. - Page 12 -During the start-up listen to the engine sound to check for positive sound of ignition, check looking from the exhaust that the kero is burning, or check for an increase in exhaust temperature in the data terminal. A small plume of white smoke from the exhaust means that the fuel is not burning.

Page 13: Starting The Engine
the prime function so that the engine becomes flooded by fuel, as this will cause an uncontrolled fire at next startup. Starting the engine. Set the throttle stick down and the trim up. “Idle” - Confirm that the LED in the ecu is blinking in "Ready"... -
Page 14: Adjusting The Engine Maximum Power
If a problem is detected, first: Move the trim to the low position to abort the sequence. If there is a fire in the engine and the problem is because the starter has failed or the engine is seized (not turning), IMMEDIATELY APPLY THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER through the intake side of the engine, never trough the exhaust. - Page 15 but it can also greatly increase the risk of fire, so before to enable this function, please read and understand the following: What does the auto-restart function does: It automatically tries to restart the engine quickly and restore the power setting that is being asked by the transmitter.

Page 16: Throttle Curves
Please Think twice before enabling the auto restart feature. Disclaimer There are no circumstances Jets Munt P/L or any of its Service Agents and employees will accept or be held responsible for any losses or damages the Auto Restart feature causes should the owner operator choose to enable this function. -

Stick position MODE 0% (Idle) 100% FULL EXPO Idle thrust 100% total HALF EXPO Idle thrust 100% thrust LINEAR Idle thrust 100% Throttle curves can be changed while the engine running, so you can leave the throttle at a given position and switch between the curves to see the difference. - Page 18 List of ECU message codes Here is a list of possible messages shown on the data terminal screen and their meaning. TrimLow: Indicates that the signal received from the transmitter corresponds to the lowered trim, that is to say, engine OFF. Ready: Indicates that the engine is ready for starting, and that the transmitter signal corresponds to IDLE, (LED lit twice)
- Page 19 FailSafe: The engine has been shut down because of loss of the control signal from the transmitter. After 0,5s of detecting a loss or invalid RC signal, the ecu sets engine power to idle, and if after another 1,5seconds a valid signal is still not received the engine is shut down. LowRPM: The engine has been shut down because the RPM has dropped below a minimum.

Feed Pipes All the pipes must be Polyurethane or nylon as provided by Jets Munt or Tygon (like the ones used by gasoline engines). Do not use Tygon on the pressure side of the fuel pump. Silicone tubing must not be used anywhere in the installation as it is dissolved by fuel and oil. - Page 21 Increasing the voltage beyond the necessary will cause the failure or shortening of the life of the element. Do not change the voltage, please contact to Jets Munt first. -Adjust the pump power at startup. The fuel flow during ignition phase must be finely tuned for each engine/pump combination, and this is done at factory during test.
