Default EMS tach calibration

We are finishing up an RV-10 with the standard IO-540. We are now in the process of calibrating our Skyview for the color ranges. Can someone provide us with the rpm values, for top and bottom of each color? We could also use the color values for oil temps.
Thanks Ron

Default

Max RPM is 2700.
Max oil temp is 245F, recommended cruise oil temps are 165F to 200F
They don't publish cruise ranges or minimums for RPM, so you could use what ever is comfortable for you.
Good Luck,
Mahlon
