Narrative:

Aircraft cleared for takeoff runway 24 teb with teb 5 departure. Teb 5 called for right turn 280 degrees maintain 1500 ft until passing 4.5 DME teb then climb and maintain 2000 ft. Aircraft departed and promptly climbed to 2000 ft. ATC told us don't bother to descend back to 1500 ft as airliner descending into newark was maneuvering to avoid us. ATC assumed we misread departure procedure so I did not correct him regarding his assumption. Problem: copilot set altitude source selector to 2000 ft not 1500 ft. Copilot screwed up the altitude selector setting. Contributing factors: head cold; minimum rest prior to flight. I've done this departure for close to seven years and was just having a bad day. Supplemental information from acn 768149: while climbing out of teb I failed to notice my altitude preselect was incorrectly set for 2000 ft; not 1500 ft as prescribed on the teb 5 departure. Just as I reached 2000 ft I noticed the error at the same time departure control advised me of the error. I was told by departure control to review the teb 5 SID and be extremely cautious.

ACFT DEPARTED AND PROMPTLY CLBED TO 2000 FT. ATC TOLD US DON'T BOTHER TO DSND BACK TO 1500 FT AS AIRLINER DSNDING INTO NEWARK WAS MANEUVERING TO AVOID US. ATC ASSUMED WE MISREAD DEP PROC SO I DID NOT CORRECT HIM REGARDING HIS ASSUMPTION. PROBLEM: COPLT SET ALT SOURCE SELECTOR TO 2000 FT NOT 1500 FT. COPLT SCREWED UP THE ALT SELECTOR SETTING. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS: HEAD COLD; MINIMUM REST PRIOR TO FLT. I'VE DONE THIS DEP FOR CLOSE TO SEVEN YEARS AND WAS JUST HAVING A BAD DAY. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 768149: WHILE CLBING OUT OF TEB I FAILED TO NOTICE MY ALT PRESELECT WAS INCORRECTLY SET FOR 2000 FT; NOT 1500 FT AS PRESCRIBED ON THE TEB 5 DEP. JUST AS I REACHED 2000 FT I NOTICED THE ERROR AT THE SAME TIME DEP CTL ADVISED ME OF THE ERROR. I WAS TOLD BY DEP CTL TO REVIEW THE TEB 5 SID AND BE EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS.
