1. Introduction

Thank you for choosing FLYMASTER M1. If you have any questions or comments regard-

ing the use of our instruments you can visit our website or contact our Support Department

(support@ﬂymaster-avionics.com). This manual covers Firmware versions up to 1.33. If have a

more recent version of ﬁrmware some of the features may not be covered.

2. Getting Started

Fully charge battery before using FLYMASTER M1 for the ﬁrst time. The battery may be

charged by either connecting the M1 USB connector to the wall socket charger or USB cable.

M1 connector can be found on the left side of the M1 (see Figure 1).

Figure 1: Battery charger connection

2.1 Charging the Battery

The charging process is automatic. The end of the charging process is indicated by the screen

message “Charging Complete”. Usually, completely charging the M1 battery takes approximately

7 hours.

M1 uses a Lithium-ion polymer battery, which is not prone to “memory eﬀect”. Therefore the

battery does not need to be totally discharged before recharging. In fact, in order to avoid

battery degradation total battery discharge should be avoided.

2.2 M1 Keys

Figure 2: M1 Keys

Three keys are used to interact with M1 (see Figure 2). Depending the context each key can

have more than one function. Key functions are indicated by a symbol, or word. The available

functions are indicated in Table 1.

Table 1 – Key Functions

KEYS Function

Flight Mode Menu Mode

S1 Change Line 1 Data. Change Menu Option (left option).

Decrements parameter values.

S2 Turn On. Change to Menu Mode. Conﬁrm Actions.

S3 Change Line 2 Data. Change Menu Option (Right option).

Increments parameter values.

2.3 Switching M1 On and Oﬀ

To switch on the M1, brieﬂy push the S2 key. This will display the start up screen showing the

M1 serial number, ﬁrmware version and a 10 second countdown. Pushing S3 before the end of

the countdown will initiate the M1. To switch oﬀ the M1 , activate menu mode by pushing the

S2 (menu) key. Using keys S3, or S4, chose “Shutdown” menu option. Finally, push the S2

(Enter) Key to conﬁrm. 3. Flight Data

The M1 screen has two 16 character lines. Each one can show a certain type of information.

Changing upper line data can be done by pressing S1 key, while S3 key will change the lower

line data. Each time one of these keys is pressed information changes according with the scheme

shown in Figure 3.

Figure 3: M1 available Information

The meaning of each data ﬁeld is the following:

Table 1: Data ﬁelds Description

Data Field Description

Temperature External probe temperature in oC or oF (see section 7.1). (maxi-

mum temperature is 250oC/482oF).

Date Date in the format Year:Month:Day. Data can be adjusted using

menu (see section 7.6).

Time Time in the format Hour:Minute:Second. Time can be adjusted

using menu (see section 7.6).

Data Field Description

Fuel (level) Indicates the tank fuel level. The fuel level can be in centil-

itres,Gallons(Uk or Us) or percentage, according with the “fuel

units” settings (see section ). The fuel level is calculated by mea-

suring the fuel column, therefore its’ accuracy depends on tank

calibration and inclination. To correctly calibrate the tank refer

to the “Tank Calibration“ section.

C.A.F.C. Current Average Flight Consumption - Indicates the average con-

sumption since last user change. The average consumption is up-

dated periodically once rpm is greater than zero. The Average

Consumption value can be changed by the user in the “Fuel Set-

tings” menu (see section 7.4.4).

R.F.T. Remaining Fuel/Flight Time - Gives the remaining fuel time in

the format Hour:Minute. This time is calculated considering the

tank level and average fuel consumption.

T.A.F.C. Total Average Flight Consumption - Indicates the Total average

fuel consumption made, considering all the ﬂights.

TOTAL Shows the total ﬂight time since last timer reset. Timer reset can

be done trough Reset Counter menu option (see section ).

FLIGHT Indicates current ﬂight time. The timer is started once rpm is

detected.

BATTERY Indicates the remaining battery level in percentage. M1 uses a

Lithium-ion polymer battery, which is not prone to “memory ef-

fect”, Therefore the battery does not need to be totally discharged

before recharging. In fact, in order to avoid battery degradation

total battery discharge should be avoided.

RPM Motor angular speed in Revolutions Per Minute. The motor RPM

is determined using an electromagnetic sensor which detects the

supply spark plug current. Depending on the motor type, in or-

der to have the correct value of RPM the number of spark plug

ignitions detected must be multiplied by a certain factor. This

multiplication factor may be adjusted by the user on the conﬁgu-

ration menu (see section 7.3).

4. Settings

Settings menu allows the conﬁguration of several M1 parameters. To access the diﬀerent items

on the Settings menu you can use the LEFT(S1) and RIGHT(S3) keys. Pushing the ENTER

(S2) enter the selected function.

Figure 4: M1 Settings

A short description of each option can be seen in Table .

Table 2: Menu Item Description

Menu Item Description

Shutdown Switches oﬀ the M1

Units Settings Allows the user to change the M1 inter-

face units

Temp. Settings Change the number of Temperature

Sensors

Stroke Number Conﬁguration of the type of Motor

Fuel Settings Allows the adjustment of several pa-

rameters, and procedures related with

the fuel level measurement and sensor

Reset Counter Allows the user to reset the total ﬂight

time counter.

Date and Time This menu option allows the user to set

the clock and calendar

Exit Main Menu Returns to Main screen

4.1 Units Settings

The "Units Settings" menu option allows the user to change the M1 interface units. In this

Settings the user can change the Temperature Sensor , and the Fuel Units.

4.2 Temp. Settings

The "Temp. Settings"’ menu option allows the user to deﬁne the Temperature Sensors used. At

this moment the user can choose if one or two CHT sensors are used.

4.3 Stroke Number

The motor rotation is determinate using an electromagnetic sensor which detects the supply

spark plug current.

Depending on the motor type, in order to have the correct value of R.P.M. the number of spark

plug ignitions detected must be multiplied by a certain factor. This multiplying factor can be

changed by the user trough this option.

The current version of ﬁrmware allows three settings, speciﬁcally 1 spark per 1 revolution, 2

spark per 1 revolution and 1 spark per 2 revolution.

4.4 Fuel Settings

The “Fuel Settings” submenu allows the adjustment of several parameters, and procedures related

with the fuel level measurement and sensor. The available options in this submenu are described

in the following sections.

4.4.1 Tank Calibration

The available fuel on tank is calculated from the measure of the fuel height on tank. Depending

on tank conﬁguration, the same fuel height can give diﬀerent fuel quantity. In order to get a

more accurate value , is need to calibrate the thank. This calibration procedure establishes a

relation between fuel height and fuel quantity. The calibration procedure is explained in section

4.4.2 Sensor Calibration

The fuel sensor supplied with M1 is factory calibrated. However, the sensor length can be cut

to size . Cutting the fuel sensor length involves several tasks being the last one the Sensor

Calibration. This menu option allows fuel sensor calibration after being cut. The calibration

procedure is necessary in order the M1 recognize the new length. The procedure is explained in

section 5.

4.4.3 Tank Empty

The tank calibration procedure is made in certain conditions which can be diﬀerent from that

on ﬂight day. This option allows the deﬁnition of a new empty set point. In order to deﬁne the

new empty point the following procedure should be done: 1. Completely empty the fuel tank; 2.

Choose “Tank Empty” option and follow the instructions on screen.

4.4.4 Average Fuel Consumption

The average consumption is calculated during ﬂight, dividing periodically the value of consumed

fuel by the elapsed time. This calculation is repeated indeﬁnitely when the rotation is greater

than 0 and the fuel level can be determinate. The Average Fuel Consumption is shown in Litres
