Re: Nominal EMS settings for a Lycoming O-320, 160
The Rotax setting is to support the unique conditional limits of the 912 (redline changes based on oil temperature). The Rotax setting only affects rpm and oil temp, and the behaviors are called out in the manual. All other settings, even though they're the same from 912 to 912, have to still be set individually.
"Fairly standard" simply isn't good enough for many applications, especially given the wide variety of engines out there. Also, any defaults that might be close, or even right, shouldn't be used as a substitute for them being actively programmed and scrutinized by you.
% Power uses the charts that are basically the same across normally aspirated lyc/continental engines. It IS also a non-primary indication, and any user of the feature should ensure that once they have their hp/redlines dialed in, that the % power numbers it returns are sane. Basically, don't trust even this feature without cross-checking against your engine's published numbers.
To answer your question directly - do not treat ANY of the limits or sensor types as being pre-set as defaults for your engine. We haven't explicitly designed them to be, though many may be in the ballpark for your engine. Simply follow the installation guide and set and check each one individually.
