I love flying!
I apologize if this subject has been discussed previously, I looked back through the forum but didn't see this covered.
Finally, the fun begins, my SkyViews are out of the boxes where they have sat for six months.
I'm installing a dual SkyView with one EMS220 for a Lyc 540, and a dual [u]independent electrical system (two alternators, and dual LightSpeed Plasma III ignition. The busses are not tied together.
My questions are:
1) I want to read voltage on both busses so I connected buss 1 to pin 1 on the EMS and moved an unused wire to pin 2 to read buss 2. I assume this will work?
2) I would like to read the load on each alternator. I connected my shunt wires from buss 1 to pins 24/25 per the manual. Is it possible to configure one or the GP inputs to measure the amps from the shunt for buss 2? If not, would a Hall effect donut work?
3) With the dual Lightspeeds, can I connect the pulse signal from their pin 6 to the left/right low volt rpm pins 32/33 respectively? How will that be displayed on either of the two SkyView displays. My hope is I can display rpm from one LightSpeed on one SkyView and the other LightSpeed on the other SkyView.
4) last question> I'm using two Honeywell pressure sensors (mlh02kpsb06a) for reading up and down hydraulic pressure. The spec sheet from Honeywell says they use a 5V excitation so am I correct to use the supply off pin 18 and connect the output to a GP input compatibility C? this sensor is a 0-3000psi so any information on how to configure the files would be appreciated.
That's it for now. I'm sure more to come.
Thanks in advance.
