Hi guys,

I was trying to set up the CHT rate of cooling alarm in my EIS 4000. THe instructions say to ask the manufacturer for readings. I have a lycoming IO360. Anyone know the maximum rate of cooling and how to set that up in the EIS?

Some one was kind enough to provide the cooling rate information:
50 degrees F per minute, according to Lycoming;
Sudden cooling is detrimental to the good health of the piston aircraft engine. Textron Lycoming Service Instruction 1094D recommends a maximum temperature change of 50oF per minute to avoid shock cooling of the cylinders.
