    Duel Shunt

    Frank If you do not need both alternators on at the same time, & I'm figuring you don't, this is how I do it  :) Run both alternator B leads through ANL fuses & then to the same side of the shunt (1 shunt only needed). Wire both field wire circuits through a DPDT switch (ON-OFF-ON toggle type...

    Wiring resistive fuel level senders

    Fuel level sensors (float type) The wires from the EMS module should go direct to the sensor, they measure resistance - DO NOT connect to power or you will have an explosive event. You can connect a ground wire to the sensor however the airframe is a suitable ground as the body of the sensor is...

    roll servo off line

    Just out of curiosity, what type of circuit breaker & how old ?  I have seen avionics go 'offline' due to circuit breakers having a high internal resistance causing an offline event but not physically popping.  A simple check would be to use another breaker or temp hardwire ( with inline fuse)...

    Wiring resistive fuel level senders

    AAflyer Resistive sensors - Yes, use the EMS wires for the required functions as per install manual. NO power required. Pitot Status wire goes to a 'contact' function in the EMS & same reference applies. Capacitive Fuel sensors - use pins as decribed in the manual & the power can be spliced...

    upgrade path

    If you just want a basic system then the Autopilot functions can be done with the Skyview & sell the AP74. However if you want to have the a/pilot control to be separate then you will need the SV-AP-PANEL,another feature of this unit is it allows the 'Panel' to do "auto trimming" of the...

    Serial for the GTN650 vs SL40 ?

    Keith No need to connect direct to a SV serial port, just wasting it for no benefit. Connect the 650 direct to the Arinc Converter as per install manual however anotherserial port on the 650 needs to connect (with a 1.21k resistor) to the Tranponder direct. Set that 650 serial to Garmin ADSB +...

    Bending brown thermocouple wires and sensor leads

    My method is to have all the brown wires at equal length with the armored probe wire which is on the furtherest cylinder away from the firewall. This makes ALL (grouped left & right side of engine) connections of the probe/brown wires easily swapped for troubleshooting (by swapping probe...

    D180 to GTX 327 - Altitude Encoding

    Whichever channel, usually 1, the wire from the Dynon is connected to the GTX 327 should be set to INPUT Icarus Alt - Then if the wiring is correct & you have format 4 set on Dynon then it will work ;) Jake J

    D180 IAS Reading Way Too High...

    Here's some ideas & IMO - A. disconnect the static - for test purposes with a fast taxi or circuit it won't matter much & may give good info for troubleshooting. B. If you can borrow a ASI then plumb it into the system, in parallel, then blow into the pitot tube carefully to see if the reading...

    SV-AP Panel, VP-X and Ray allen trim motrs

    If you have the position wires already connected to the Vp-X then you can leave them there despite the fact you may have disabled the trim in the vp-X.  If using the Dynon AP Panel & wanting to use the auto trim feature then you need to connect the trim motor (2 wires) direct to it however the...

    SV-AP Panel, VP-X and Ray allen trim motrs

    They, the 3 position sensor wires, can be left as attached to the vp-x. ;) Jake J

    Air Conditioner and ADAHRS and Remote Compass

    I've done 2 x 10's with the aircon & mounted the ADAHRS units on the 2nd bulkhead (close to top of fuselage) aft of the luggage bay panel, works well. Jake J

    Product Suggestion

    Steve I've used a few of these, are not internally lit but do not need to be IMO. You should be able to get them at one of the suppliers like Digikey, Jake J

    tach sender hookup

    Richard That will work as per Camit instructions, I've just installed one & works as advertised, you'll just have to change the PPR in the 180 from 6 to 2 ;) Jake J OZ
