Features and Benefits of the Jet ECU Interface
The Jet ECU Interface, in conjunction with our Seagull Pro Flight System, provides real-time data and audible feedback
about the state of your Model Jet, while you are flying! Think of the Jet ECU Interface as a Wireless Engine Data
Terminal/GSU for your Jet.
Data such as ECU Turbine RPM, Turbine temperature, Throttle %, ECU Pack and Pump Voltage, and ECU status
messages are retrieved from your ECU and transmitted wirelessly to the Seagull Dashboard. Audible alarms can be
programmed for low Turbine RPM and temperature for early flameout alert, and for ECU pack voltage for low battery
indication. All these parameters are in addition to the standard data parameters that are available on the Pro System.
In addition to display on the LCD screen of the Wireless Dashboard, if the Dashboard is connected to a laptop via USB,
all the ECU data are available live with the Windows Virtual Cockpit application!

How the Jet ECU Interface Works
The Jet ECU Interface cable plugs between the Pro Flight Recorder the data/telemetry port of your ECU. After simple
Windows configuration, the Recorder reads the ECU parameter data and transmits it to the Wireless Dashboard.
