As Marc suggested I simply had to go to the EMS pin "mapping" screen, find the row for pin 7, and change the drop down selection for pin "sensor" to the one for GRT oil temperature sensor....

I had a problem a ew months ago with high Oil Temps, that turned out to be due to accumulated sludge in the oil cooler. Once I sent the oil cooler out to be pressure flushed and cleaned, the problem went away. In the process of discussing this with many folks on this forum and the COBA forum, it...

GalinHdz, . I have a Long EZ. So the antenna is mounted directly against the fiberglass side wall of the forward fuselage, ( next to where pilots left calf would be). Of course my plane is not all fiberglass. The engine is steel, certain critical structural members are aluminum, etc., etc.

I have the GPS 2020, but I was under the impression that the GPS is not generating the RF output - It is the transponder that does that, no? The antenna is connected to the transponder, not the GPS, and the only connection the GPS has to feed any data to the rest of the system is through the...

Going to talk to Avionics shop tomorrow morning about this.

Well, I was assuming that because the Flight Radar 24 system had all the flight data, the only place it could be getting it from is the FAA database that collects ADS-B Data, so my ADS-B system, and antenna, must be functioning properly. The fact that ATC was not receiving Mode C altitude or...

I had ATC report to me inflight today that they were not receiving my Mode C (altitude data). Intermittently, they also reported they were not seeing any other transponder information. My transponder is a Dynon SV-XPNDR-261 Transponder which includes ADS-B out, and after I landed I went to...

In the installation document, EMS 220 chapter, (on page 7-73), you recommend that a carburetor temperature sensor be connected to pin 23. However, if someone wishes to install two capacitance type fuel level sensors, the document specifies, ( on page 7-61), that only pins 8, 22, 23 or 31)...

Have you succeeded in getting the secondary frequency bearing signal to display on Bearing Pointer 2 on Skyview? I read your comment that "secondary frequency on the MGL Vega OBS & tuning head will not display on SV PFD when the N16 standby nav frequency is selected for the SV #2 bearing...

Well, I have identified and resolved the issue. I sent the alternator back to B&C, they checked it, and it bench-tested fine. The only issue they found was a weak diode in the bridge, but they said this could not cause my issue. They replaced it anyway, and sent it back to me, but the problem...

Hah! You're probably right!

That's what documentation is for...

Disassembled the DB37 connector to my EMS-220. Found that indeed, there was no wire attached to pin 2 on the connector. Had to add an additional wire to get the second voltage widget to work. Might I suggest that ALL pins on the DB37 on this wire harness be wired up. At a minimum, where there...

So, to clarify that I understand this, the contact pins on the EMS can operate in two modes: 1. Ground Mode - like for Canopy locked, or Gear/Flap position indicator). Where a general purpose "CONTACT" input pin to the EMS is connected to an on-off switch which is then connected to aircraft...

Simple, temporary workaround, until the patch is released, is, after you decide how much fuel you want to add, calculate the total in your head and "add" that amount instead.

Just for clarity, to use a GP input as a contact sensor, I should wire it from the 12V aircraft power bus, to a microswitch, (like a canopy closed switch), and then to one of the EMS contact input pins?

Okay, got it... Then the voltage at the EMS wire will be aircraft bus voltage when the three microswitches are closed, but it will be zero V (connected to ground through the Warn light) when the any of the three switches are open... Thanks! Charly

Don, Thanks much for this... I was worried about the fact that my circuit is connected to the 12 volt bus. I would never have come up with the 10k resistor idea on my own. Now just to make sure we are on the same page, may I ask this.... If I connect things as I think you are suggesting...

Mine is as you describe Don, no fuel quantity sensors, only sight gages and fuel flow sensor. Workaround of just "adding" what I calculate new total should be will work for now, but was thinking about installing fuel level sensors. Do you recommend resistive or capacitance sensors?

Since the last version update, (it was 16.2.4), When I go to the add fuel menu, the current quantity always reads as 0.0, no matter how much fuel is indicated on the fuel remaining widget.
