Hi Alan
This from SmartAvionics website. Rev limiting is enabled in manual.
Pete
"The controller provides the following modes of operation:
Disabled
The automatic control is completely disconnected, the +/- toggle switch
directly controls the propeller pitch.
Manual
The automatic control is connected but propeller pitch control is via
the +/- toggle switch. Automatic rev limiting is enabled. If the mode button
is now pressed briefly, the mode changes to cruise.
Cruise
The controller endevours to keep the RPM within a "dead band" around the
target cruise RPM by adjusting the propeller pitch. The +/- toggle switch
can be used to adjust the target RPM in steps of 50 RPM. Pressing the mode
button briefly, toggles the mode back to manual.
Climb
Similar to cruise mode, except that the preset "Climb RPM" is used.
Pushing the mode button for 1/2 of a second or more selects this mode.
Pushing the mode button briefly, reverts to cruise mode.
Takeoff
Similar to climb mode, except that the preset "Takeoff RPM" is used.
Pushing the mode button for 1 second or more selects this mode. Pushing the
mode button briefly, reverts to climb mode.
Operation of the CSC-1/P is very straightforward and places little workload
on the pilot. Before takeoff, takeoff mode is selected by pressing the mode
button for about a second. Once safely clear of the ground, climb mode is
selected with a quick press of the mode button. When the desired cruise
altitude is reached, a further quick press of the mode button selects cruise
mode and the throttle can then be adjusted to the cruise position. In the
cruise, the throttle works as a 'speed lever'. On descending to land,
takeoff mode is reselected in case a go-around is necessary."

Hi Peter.
Many thanks for that piece of information, Peter, I,d better not do that
test with the engine stationary,
I have the Smart version, can't find my manual, but I thought I read
somewhere in the manual you still had over speed protection in Manual Mode,
and pitch control was by using the +/- toggle switch, if you select Disable
it shows OFF ad you lose overspeed protection, I will have to look for my
manual, I could well be wrong , but it will make me do a bit of revision and
look things up again the old memory not so good in retirement.
Regards
Alan
