With respect - 'the man' (Don) said "Lower the starting percentage way down to see if audio works" - at least do that first.:rolleyes:

I forgot to add- I always check power & grounds first before powering anything up. We’re all cable of having a ‘bad day’, don’t ask how I know as it happened a long time ago & I‘ve done ~ 50 installs since, certainly made me more careful since. Serial & Arinc data cabling is not normally an...

IMO the issue is in the wiring somewhere, I’ve done a lot of VPX installs & never had a fault in the unit itself. The current software version has been in place for ~ 10 years so that shows it’s ‘maturity’. I’d unplug all the devices connected, except for 1 x screen, & plug them in again 1 at a...

Merry Xmas 😉

Re the audio panel side of the install - you don’t need one if space/ cost is a factor, I’ve used these https://makerplane.org/download/amx-2a/ for several installs & they work well. If you have 2 x radios all you need extra is a 3PDT switch for Com 1/ Com 2 & use a simple 10K pot where/ if...

Ok, I was wrong - problem is you have 6 x thermocouples showing on screen yet your engine has only 4 - there is a dis connect here. I’ll PM you if thats ok ? Or just ignore 😉

I only seen you issue once before & ironically it was on a 6 cyl Lycoming too, here is a link to a device that will ‘stabilise‘ the rpm’s https://store.makerplane.org/magneto-p-lead-tachometer-signal-stabilizer-p-tach/

whether you have magnetos ( as stated) or electronic ’mags’ then there is no need for a tach transducer with the Dynon EMS or the legacy units.

Hey Rhino, we‘ll ’see’ you here in a few days? IMO venting your problem, obviously serious, may help ease your stress if only for a short time. IF you don’t return then you will surely be missed. Your obvious wealth of knowledge has helped many others & I figure it’s something you enjoy passing...

All looks good, for a ‘test’ why don’t you swap the tach leads at the EMS Module & see if the problem ‘follows’ the lead. There could be an issue at the EMS end or the unit itself ?🙂

Why is that some people insist on pushing that they are right when they are plainly wrong 🙄. Data communications come in various forms, it’s better that we use the correct terms where possible to assist in troubleshooting - just say you didn‘t know, it’s not hard, & move on. Smile.

You’ll need to connect it to the network (different cable eg 9 pin dsub) & an Ethernet cable joining both screens😉

Good luck to you if it does - in my world I need to positively know😉. Searching will be helpful here, I still contact Dynon for the definitive answer & that doesn’t cost anything. At least you’ll have peace of mind one way or the other.

Contact Dynon support, these things don’t fix themselves 😉

I am older 😂

Hi Marc. Sorry to correct u on this.😞 The tach time is at 100% of the time in cruise based on nominated ( in Setup menu) set cruise RPM. If you set it as say 2600 rpm but decide to cruise at a lower rpm then the actual TACH hrs will be an artifact of that, in other words lower. I’m not sure...

looks like an issue other than the K factor - I’d contact Electronics International direct (give them the serial number of the FT-60) & explain the issue you have. Ive never heard, on any forum, of a reading without engine running. Hope it gets sorted for you 😉.

Not sure on how this works in USA however I suggest mounting the Dynon mast to an outer wing inspection panel - if that’s allowed.

The Trig uses the same protocols as the SL30 legacy units, so the answer is yes 👍.

Just curious A Joe - If you have the SV-AP-PANEL did you check whether the recent SB applies?
