Instruction Manual for the Seagull Jet ECU Interfaces  
Document Version 1.2  
Model #’s ECU-JETCAT, ECU-AMT, ECU-FADEC  
Thank you for your purchase! This instruction manual will guide you through the installation and operation of your Seagull  
Jet ECU Interface. Please read the entire manual carefully before proceeding. If, after you read the manual (including the  
Troubleshooting section!!), you have further questions or problems, see the Support page on  
http://www.eagletreesystems.com for additional information, or email us at [email protected].  
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!  
Packing List  
Your package should include the following: Jet ECU Interface Cable (either AMT Netherlands, JetCat or FADEC), and a  
printed version of this manual. Please check your box for printed addenda to this manual which may be included if  
changes were made after printing.  
Requirements  
The Jet ECU Interface requires a Seagull Pro Flight System, with Windows application version 3.39 or later. The latest  
version is available on the support page of our website. The Recorder and Dashboard firmware needs to be updated using  
“Tools, Firmware Control.”  
For JetCat users, version 4.00g of the JetCat ECU is required.  
powered with a 4 cell (4.8v pack).  
For AMT Netherlands users, the Recorder must be

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.

Now, you should see the list of ECU  
parameters that can be displayed on the  
Dashboard, as well as the other Seagull  
Parameters. Select the desired  
parameters and configure alarms on the  
new ECU parameters as described in your  
Seagull Pro Flight System manual.  
Here is specific information about the  
ECU parameters:  
ECU Throttle % - this indicates the  
throttle deflection percentage  
ECU Turbine Temperature – this  
indicates the turbine temperature. Note  
that it is ALWAYS in Degrees C on the  
Dashboard, even if English units are  
selected in the application  
ECU Turbine RPM – this indicates the  
turbine RPM. IMPORTANT: please  
make sure that you place the RPM display  
on either the left upper or left lower  
display location (not on the right side of  
the screen). This is because RPM can go  
about 99,999, which means it won’t  
display properly on the right side.  
ECU Status – this page on the Dashboard  
indicates the status of the ECU. The messages vary depending on which ECU you have, and should be similar to the  
messages your Data Terminal/GSU currently displays. When no ECU is detected, “ECU NOT DETECTED” is displayed  
on the ECU status page of the dashboard.  
ECU Pack Voltage – this indicates the voltage of the ECU’s main power supply.  
ECU Pump Voltage – this indicates the current pump voltage. NOTE: on the FADEC, this indicates the pump duty  
cycle.  
Live Mode Application Display  
All of the ECU parameters can be displayed in application Live Mode, when either the Dashboard or the Recorder is  
connected to your PC/Laptop via USB. To configure the parameters to display in Live Mode, click “Tools, Choose  
Instruments to Display on PC Screen” and the ECU options should appear on the righthand side of this page.  
Range Checking and Flying  
IMPORTANT: It is unlikely that the installation of the Eagle Tree system will cause problems with radio range. But, as  
always, it is critical to do an antenna-down range check, per your jet/radio manufacturer’s instructions, after making any  
changes to your jet’s electronics (and frankly before every flight session). Eagle Tree recommends that the range check  
be done with the turbine running, to completely verify operation (if this can be done safely).  
Happy Flying! We’d love to see pictures of your installation and get your feedback. Just email us at

Include a full description of your problem, your machine configuration, brand/model/version of ECU, application version,  
Dashboard and Recorder firmware version and any other relevant details.  
Issue: “ECU NOT DETECTED” appears on the ECU Status page of the LCD Dashboard, after configuration  
Solution:  
Make sure you have downloaded the latest Windows application and installed the latest firmware, as described in  
the Requirements section above.  
Make sure you have followed the application configuration instructions above.  
Make sure that you have connected the ECU Interface cable appropriately, as described above.  
Plug in your Engine Data Terminal/GSU, if you have one, and verify that it is reading correctly.  
Issue: I have reduced antenna-down range with the ECU Interface installed  
Solution:  
Try isolating the problem – disconnect the ECU Interface cable, and see if the range improves. If it does not  
improve, please see the Troubleshooting section in the Seagull Pro Flight System user manual. If range does  
change when disconnecting the ECU Interface cable, please contact Eagle Tree Systems immediately.
