Knuckoll's Z-11 Low Voltage Warning

[wilkersk]

Putting together a parts list for my RV's electrical system. I'm following the AeroElectric Connection Z-11 wiring diagram. But, it seems to me if Skyview provides a low voltage alert, I don't need the AEC9005-101 Low Voltage Monitor and associated LED light. Anyone else have thoughts on this?

You don't need the LV light since the Skyview will alert you, it's up to you whether to add it or not, it would be redundant. Skyview can also be wired with an external warning light.

BTW, the Aeroelectric Connection book has rev M of Z11, which I gather is what you are looking at, it's up to rev P now. The latast Z dwgs are in the "Adobe_Architecture_Pdfs" folder at http://www.aeroelectric.com/PPS/

For whatever reason, rev P shows a B&C LR3 regulator which has the crowbar and LV warn built in, and the regulated voltage is adjustable. It's up to you which regulator to use.

Z101 is the latest template from Bob where he shows optional features in colors other than black.

PS, Bob has lots of other info in the following folders linked from http://www.aeroelectric.com/Downloads.html

If you're new to the Z dwgs, feel free to message me or there's lots of help on the AeroElectric List hosted by Matronics.

Thanks! I've looked at the file directory on the AEC website several times and somehow overlooked this.

I don't know how to find the directories on AEC website without someone telling you about them.

Huh! ...I just go to aeroelectric.com, then select "downloadable reference materials", then "page per system drawings". But, I completely missed that there was a newer revision to the Z-11. I have the whole book burned onto a thumb drive.

OK... you taught me something!

I learned a lot over time by subscribing to the AeroElectric List. I delete most of the emails but dig into the threads I'm interested in.

Me two. I was originally trained as an avionics tech in the Navy. Also worked in avionics/electrical at a major repair depot after I retired from the Navy. But, it takes reading AEC to remember all that I've learned and forgotten.

Aha... you are the fellow I sent W-415 nav light fairings to.

Yep. Sorry, thought you knew.

Skyview EMS has provision for an optional external warning light to prompt you to check the EFIS to see what the problem is. You're gonna get an audible warning though.

Nearly everything in the panel these days has a low-voltage alert - and Dynon has the ability to make it an aural alert in the headset at well, for both low-voltage and high-amperage discharge from the battery.
