Vertical Power (Optional) - Garmin G3X Pilot's Manual

8.7 VERTICAL POWER (OPTIONAL)

The Vertical Power electronic circuit breaker (VP-X) integrates with the G3X system
to provide a visual display of the aircraft's electrical system. From the Vertical Power
(VP-X) Page pilots control, view and respond to electrical faults. The Vertical Power
(VP-X) Page only appears when a VP-X is connected, configured and operational.
When an electrical device is selected, device sensitive softkeys appear, which provide
the pilot with control of the device from the GDU. Devices connected to the VP-X can
be controlled via dedicated switches or via softkeys on a GDU. The Vertical Power
system can be connected to the PFD or MFD, but the associated softkeys will only
appear on the GDU to which the Vertical Power system is connected.

Only appears when the landing light(s) have been configured
to 'wig-wag'. When AUTO (default) is selected the VP-X will
automatically pulse (wig-wag) the landing lights based on the
current phase of flight. When AUTO is not selected the landing
lights will remain steady-on (no wig-wag).
Only appears when the selected device is in a fault condition. By
selecting 'RESET' the VP-X will attempt to clear the fault (similar
to resetting the circuit breaker).
