    EMS Fuel tank calibration

    Follow up: so tech-support was able to advise that my problem was due to a software bug. If you are installing EMS, you will want to set your display reversion mode to no while performing sensor setup, mapping, or calibrations. If it is set to yes there is a possibility that you could lose...

    Plead Tach reading on new EMS install

    Update: the pulse/rpm setting of 1.5 resulted in accurate tach indication. 1.0 works for 4 cylinders and 1.5 works for my 6 cylinders. Obviously, 6/4 = 1.5

    EMS Carb temp ranges

    I research some online and the results for carb temps are very similar to your settings. Anything under 41 deg f is of concern. Thanks i am going to copy your numbers

    EMS Carb temp ranges

    I installed Dynon supplied 1/4-28, -50 to 150 deg f on side marvin schebler carburetor. Ive never had carb temp before. Would appreciate some suggestions for red? yellow and green temperature ranges please. Something to start with. I understand concern for freezing but have no idea what...

    EMS Fuel tank calibration

    Went through 4 tanks 84 gal total for fuel tank calibration. All tanks terminated with “successful calibration” and exiting set up the tank widgets showed gallons and full tank, the cal? Indicaton was gone. This morning all previous successful calibration were gone. I thought i was very careful...

    Plead Tach reading on new EMS install

    Hello. I added second hdx and ems. I have lycoming 6 cylinder. I think default config file is for 4 cylinder and consequently my tach readings are high. Is there a default calibration number for a six cyl, using p-lead pickoff. Was wondering what formula used to convert plead magneto pulse to...

    Repeating audible warnings

    Apparently there were gps and radar outages this morning around holloman airforce base, at least my plane thought so. But the constant audible warnings from skyviw: NO TRAFFIC, NO GPS, were annoying. It was difficult to use radio over all the warnings. Acknowledging the messages didnt seem to...

    Flight path marker

    Is there a drift cutout ability in skyview hdx. I have not found one in manual. With significant crosswind the relative flight path exceeds the perspective of the PFD therefore path marker is not visible. It would be nice if flight path marker could be centered, with drift cutout. The wide angle...

    Remote magnetometer drift

    Update: plane was moved to different shop. Here is what we found 1- the original avionics shop replaced position and landing light cables. When that didnt solve problem they sent the -236 magnetometer back to dynon for warranty. The -236 unit was tested and found to be acceptable. 2- the...

    Remote magnetometer drift

    Ok good. Regular compass and I will look into common ground with mechanic. Under panel many devices share a ground i know that position lights were grounded to first rib. I failed to mention problem #4: adahrs/magnetometer alignment- got deer in headlight look on that one. Shop suggested that...

    Remote magnetometer drift

    I am not getting engine rpm noise in headset any more, the p lead and capacitor/filters were just replaced. I am going to build shelf, and re do magnetometer wiring, sheathing the entire lenght of dynon magnetometer cable w/ground at each end. Sheath will include area behind panel. Very...

    Remote magnetometer drift

    I really appreciate the feedback. The antenna cable in back left is elt, the one immediately above is com and appears bundled with magnetometer cable. There is nav antenna in top tail. The heading variation changed 20 deg even with additional 200 rpm from idle so i wonder if the battery...

    Remote magnetometer drift

    Any experience/lessons learned in mounting magnetometer further back in fuselage or in wing. Thinking a bracket would be needed but what would be best way to mount either to bulkhead or wing spar and still allow required alignment
