| Subject: | toggle switch guards |
--> AeroElectric-List message posted by: Mickey Coggins <mick-matronics@rv8.ch>
Hi,
I've been searching the web for quite some time, and I have
not found a source for the various types of toggle switch guards
that are available. Here is a link to a distributor that won't
sell to the average dude like me:
http://www.edmo.com/s2/eaton3.asp
I believe the switch guard I want is a MS27752-1 which does
not change the position of the switch when the guard is
closed. All the guards I've found from the usual sources
move the toggle switch when the cover is closed. I would
also be happy with a switch guard that holds the switch
in whatever position it is in.
Anyone know of a source for these switches that sells to
the average guy?
Thanks,
Mickey

Googled it with 'MS27752-1 switch guard' as the search term and came up
with this link at the top of the list:
http://www.edmo.com/s2/eaton3.asp
At that page, clicked on the "Find Dealers" at the bottom, picked my
state, and nearby city (Rochester, NY) and it displayed 4 distributors
all within just a few miles of me here in Henrietta.
Worth a try to see if there are any in your area.
As far as online, I used to deal a lot with Newark Electronics and
although they had a $25 minimum, a couple of these guards should cover
that. You can find them, online at www.newark.com . A quick search
there 9after picking Eaton) showed a bunch of guards that looked like
it, although I didn't see that particular part number..

When you run across a surplus guard that forces the
switch to a particular position when closed, you can easily
modify this part with a Dremel Mototool and a router bit.
You need to carve out cavity within the cover to remove
the ramp that bears against the toggle when the cover
closes. It's never "purddy" but it's always out of sight.

| Subject: | Fuseable link for 35 amp alternator protection |
--> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "Brian Sowell Home" <bsowell@digitex.net>
I bought and ruined an ANL fuse and holder when I decided I wanted to move it from
its original location and, well, the rest is irrelevant. But now I'm considering
using a fuseable link instead. I have a 35 amp alternator with an 8awg
wire lead. Can I use a 12awg fuseable link instead?

if you find them and the dealer does not want to ship to Switserland, I
am sure we can find a temp shipping address for you over here and then
forward it to you.

Mickey -
Have you thought of the lever-lock switches. You have to pull the toggle
out to move it. They make a variety of them. NKK makes a good mini
lever-lock, as does Honeywell-Micro.

I recently installed UMA instrument bezel lighting. The UMA system uses an
inverter to power the bezel lights with up to 115v. I like the soft
blue/green flow and by dimming, instrument lighting is great under all
conditions. However, when the bezel lights are turned on, a very noticeable
whine is present in the background during transmit or intercom
communications. The avionics shop said "some installations are quiet but
its pretty common to have the RFI from the UMA bezel lighting system and
there's no way to fix it without a lot of research (re: dollars). It seems
hard to believe that a system would be design and sold that 'commonly'
induces whine into the radio system--and there's no cure. Is this true or
just a cop-out?
Chuck

I don't know what type they are, but Steinair has them
(www.steinair.com) in three colors.

Hi John,
Which of Eric's switch guards are you using? Do you have any photos?
I've got the simple ring type, but they don't come up high
enough to protect the switch. I'm considering the space
shuttle guards.
If that does not work, I'll probably fall back to Bob's
idea of getting busy with the dremel tool on the switch
guards that Stein sells.
Thanks to all that offered suggestions, they were very
helpful.
Best regards,
Mickey

Waytek Wire ( www.waytekwire.com ) has them. They also carry the same
brand and series of toggle switches sold by B&C Specialties. They are on
page 46 of their online catalog. Check out

| Subject: | KT-76C lighting power draw |
--> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "thomas a. sargent" <sarg314@comcast.net>
I have an old (late 1990's) King KT-76C transponder which I bought
yellow tagged several years ago. The installation manual says the
brightness of the display is varied by changing the voltage on one of
the inputs, but does not specify how much current the display draws.
Does any one know how I can find this information?
Thanks,
