Pulsar 200 Inputs

The Pulsar directly monitors over 30 sensor inputs. The monitored sensor inputs are used to provide additional calculated engine information.

The sensors(transducers) are configurable by the user using the configuration editor software.

Monitored Parameter	Comments
Temperature Information
Exhaust gas temperature (EGT)	For 4,6 and 8 cylinder engines.
Cylinder head temperature (CHT)
Maximum EGT	Highest temperature for all monitored EGT sensors. Key reading for proper engine leaning.
Maximum CHT	Highest temperature for all monitored CHT sensors.
EGT span	Difference between highest and lowest EGT (or CHT) sensors. Helpful in identifying problems with individual engine cylinders.
CHT span
Coolant temperature	For water-cooled engines.
Carburetor air temperature	Can be used to provide a carburetor ice warning.
Outside air temperature
Pulsar internal temperature	Can monitor and report on the Pulsar's internal temperature.
Performance Information
Tachometer	Inputs for inductive pickup, dual electronic ignition or magnetos.
Manifold air pressure
Fuel System Information
Fuel flow #1	Can monitor fuel flow from two tanks or a supply and return fuel line in a fuel-injected system.
Fuel flow #2
Total fuel flow	Sum of fuel flow #1 and #2.
Fuel flow difference	For fuel-injected engines. Difference between inlet and return fuel flow.
Fuel pressure
Fuel level tank #1	Fuel tank level sensors are calibrated to your tank's specific geometry.
Fuel level tank #2
Total fuel level	Sum of fuel tank level #1 and #2.
Fuel time remaining	Calculated based on current fuel level and fuel flow.
Oil System Information
Oil temperature
Oil pressure
Electrical System Information
Battery voltage	Primary battery voltage.
Current
Back-up Power voltage
Clocks & Timers
Local time and date
Trip time	With the configurable unit you can make as create several timers.
Hobbs and flight timers	With the configurable unit you can make as create several timers.
Laspe timer	Great for timing turns or other events
Auxiliary Inputs
Auxiliary input #1	Can be configured to monitor voltage, resistive, or pulsed sensor inputs.
Auxiliary input #2
Auxiliary input #3

The customization option gives the user full control over the units 16 thermocouple inputs, 3 tachometer inputs, and the 15 configurable inputs. This unprecedented level of control allows the user to connect almost any sensor to the unit.
Plus with the customizable option the user can do additional calculations based on sensor inputs. For example if you have temperatures in Fahrenheit you can also show all the temperatures in Celsius at the same time.
Additionally you can do calculations based on multiple sensor inputs. For example you can monitor the left and right magneto and subtract the tachometer readings and set an alarm to activate if there is a difference. This would enable the pilot to be notified if one of the magnetos had a hard failure during flight.
