I love flying!
I have a customer with what seems to be a faulty EMS-220 unit. Unfortunately I am not close to the aircraft and relay on what was given to me.
They have SN 2716 installed in an RV9A. It has developed a few problems:
On Master On the some readings jump around and then stabilize.
With the motor running all EGT and CHT readings spike high when the PTT is pressed. I remember something about older units that needed filters?
Then when they advance the throttle the RPM reading will fall away just before max RPM and the MAP starts fluctuating. I think the RPM might be resistor values?
I then gave my spare unit to them to test with. This is SN 7431
All the faults are no more, but the Amp meter is crossed out.
Is there perhaps a pin change for the current shunt that I have missed or do we have two faulty units?
Your expert advise will be welcomed.
