    Subject: Wiring Question
    --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: Randy Pflanzer <F1Rocket@comcast.net> Bob, On the F1 Rocket, the battery, ELT, and battery solenoid are installed in the baggage area under a panel. My TruTrak autopilot servo for the elevator is also installed here. I would also like to install my strobe power unit and the relays/speed controller for my MAC servos in the same area for access reasons. Do you see any problem with having this mix of electrical components within close proximity of one another? Should I separate the wiring runs in any way? I have the following wire bundles into and out of this location: 1) Battery cables (positive and negative) 2) Strobe power and two strobe output bundles 3) Autopilot servo bundle 4) Trim motor bundle into and out of the controller and relay As always, your advice is greatly appreciated.

There are two wiring diagrams for the OVM . . . page 2 of the instructions shows a typical installation for externally regulated alternators, page 3 is for internally regulated alternators.

That's why the total of 16 initiators are split into two sets of 8, each system is capable of launching the chute. Each system has its own ship's power source backed up by its own battery internally. Each system has its own set of wire bundles. Both systems get full up continuity testing of each initiator circuit, output from the constant current generators is checked and each battery is load tested with a preflight test fixture that takes a line technician about 30 seconds to conduct before the door is closed on the airplane. So it's two, independent systems running side by side that get preflight checked. The system Dean and I put together has about 10% of the parts count of the system we replaced. I don't recall the exact numbers (the study was done a couple of years ago on an earlier installation of this same system) but the reliability guys blessed it as adequate to the task. Bob . . .

    Subject: Fire detection circuit
    --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: Peter Laurence <dr.laurence@mbdi.org> Bob, I'm attempting to design a fire detection sensor/circuit. My design consists of a closed loop LED with a 500 or so ohm current limiting resistor. I would short the resistor between the led and the resistor through the thermal fuse to ground. I believe this would reduce the amps suffiently to the led to keep it turned off. When the fuse melts the led would turn on. Would this shorting scheme work ? Peter Laurence

I've just installed said regulator (S701-1). > Is it really not necessary, or what is it I'm not understanding here? > TIA for explaining > Robert Dickson > RV-6A electrical I think the way Bob has explained it here before, that it is just the opposite --- "For internally regulated machines, the external B-lead contactor is necessary." The way I understand it is that modern alternators with a control lead going to the internal regulator, have possible failure modes resulting in a runaway over voltage condition even with the control lead (field) disconnected. A sort of self induced excitation condition (Sounds kind of obscene). The over voltage condition results in the OVM shorting the control lead (field) to ground which trips it's 5 amp supply breaker. This also removes power to the alternator disconnect contactor, isolating the alternator output from the electrical system. As a side note, all the Boeing series I have flown B707, B727, B757 and B747 had a procedure that after a generator fault and the Generator Breaker and Field had been opened --- then the Constant Speed Drive (CSD) was also disconnected from the engine to prevent the generator from even turning. Might be hard to duplicate that feature here though. Maybe an auto alternator belt cutter :) Wally Enga RV7 wings

    Subject: Alternator question
    --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "Sanders, Andrew P" <andrew.p.sanders@boeing.com> The Ford alternator in our Cardinal has three terminals surrounded by a plastic insulator and two studs attached directly to the case. One of the insulated terminals is the field, the second is the output (bat). The airframe ground and the shields from the other wires are connected to one of the studs on the case. The question is what is the third insulated terminal for? Thanks, Andrew

Figure Z-24 describes the difference wiring for internally regulated alternators. I recommend a 22AWG fusible link at the bus to bring power up to the DC PWR MASTER switch and then on to a 5A breaker. The ov module is shown connected to the downstream side of the breaker. The fusible link is just to protect the "extended bus" up to the 5A breaker . . . and do it in a way that will not nuisance trip when the ov module trips the breaker. It's difficult to do this with a straight fuse because fuses are so much faster than breakers. Our early suggestions used one of the fuse slots on the block to provide an alternator field feed. Had several builders take the fuse up to 20A to find one that would stay closed long enough to open a 5A breaker in series with it. This was the situation that prompted us to look at the fusible link alternative. Bob . . .

    Subject: List of Contributors #1 - A Special Thank You...
    --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: Matt Dralle <dralle@matronics.com> Dear Listers, First let me say Thank You to everyone that made a Contribution in support of the Lists this year! I was particularly touched by all of the wonderful comments people made regarding the Lists and how much they mean to them. As I have said many times before, running these Lists and creating the many new features is truly a labor of love. This is why your comments of support and appreciation have particular meaning for me. Your generosity during this time of List support only underscores the delightful sentiments people have made regarding the Lists. The money raised during this year's Fund Raiser will go directly into supporting the continued operation of the Lists as well as some much needed upgrades. For example, I have just ordered three new UPS systems to replaced the currently failing and out-of-warranty older units. These new units will provide well over 3 hours of backup protection during an outage and assure that the computer systems will be shutdown in a safe and orderly fashion. I have also ordered a new backup system that will provide 60 days of on line, daily backups for all of systems supporting the List services. This regular backup capability serves to rigorously protect against the inevitable system disk failure or the (not-so) "unlikely" errant event of the rogue "rm *" command...(!) Last year, using resources generated by the Fund Raiser, I was able to upgrade the Web server platform, greatly enhancing the performance of the many services such as the Archive Search Engine, as well as increasing the system reliability through newer equipment. During the upcoming year, using Contributions from this year's Fund Raiser, I hope to upgrade the Email System in a similar fashion, providing Listers with substantial increases in performance and availability. Know that all of these enhancements are remotely feasible ONLY because of your generosity during the List Fund Raiser. For this, both I, and the rest of the List population thank you! I would also once again like to thank Andy Gold of the Builder's Bookstore ( http://www.buildersbooks.com ) who so generously supported this year's Fund Raiser with both free and substantially discounted merchandise!! Andy is truly one of a kind, and a superb businessman, and I cannot thank him enough for all that he's done! If you have any aircraft media needs in the near future, I would ask that you please give his great web site a look. Thanks again Andy, for all your support! And finally, below you will find the 2002 List of Contributors current as of 12/3/02! Have a look at the list of names there as these are the people that make all of the services here possible! I can't thank you all enough for your support and great feedback during this year's Fund Raiser! THANK YOU! I will post a follow up List of Contributors at the end of the month to catch any straggles or people who mailed in checks. There are still a few of the various Free Gifts left, so please feel free to yet make your Contribution and get a great Free Gift to-boot! Once again, the URL for the Contributions web site is: http://www.matronics.com/contribution I will be shipping out the CDROM-Only orders later this week. The remaining Flight Bag-Only and all of the Flight Bag & CDROM orders will ship out as soon as I receive the second shipment of flight bags. The A&P Book orders will go out later this month. I will post again regarding the actual shipment of the various items. Once again, thank you for making this year's List Fund Raiser successful!

Or brake failure? These are for use in flight. The first systems I put in Premier and Horizon had two different chutes. One was about 4-5 feet in diameter and intended for use to recover from mach-tuck events. The larger one was about 8' in diameter and used for deep stall and spin recovery. The system I'm finishing up in Premier tomorrow is a single, large canopy for slow speed work only. I'll try to track down the video of the in-flight deployments on Horizon and see if I can get a copy of it. Bob . . .

    Subject: Re: Wiring Question
    --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "Jim Jewell" <jjewell@telus.net> Hi Bob, I have found a web site that offers the Odyssy PC-680 battery for $74.69. They sell many of the other Odyssey line part numbers as well at simular pricing. Their site is; http://www.sunnbattery.com/category.html?UCIDs=1209500 The van's catalog lists the PC-680 @ $160.00 I am considering the PC-680, or the PC-625 over the PC-545 because of the summer winter weather and temperature range in this area just North of the Canadian USA. border and near the West coast. Nearly semi arid dessert with long hot summers and short but moderately cold winters. I am thinking that the extra weight of one of these two units is a small penalty ( about two to three pounds) to pay for what seems to be a bit of extra punch and or or endurance. That is of course if I am interpreting the spec sheet for the PC-545, PC-625 and PC-680 correctly. Is there reason to choose one over the others for My O-360-A1A C/S with a Toyota starter conversion. After a number of hours on the net I have not found any lower pricing anywhere else and thought I would pass it along and also ask the above question at one and the same time. And a question for others on the list; Does anyone else have info (pro or con) about this particular company? Thanks, Jim in Kelowna - The only thing that arrives on the scene faster that a good idea is an opinion as to how wrong it is. :)!
