    clamav-milter version 0.80j on juliet.albedo.net --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: Ken <klehman@albedo.net> Aircraft where a stuck trim will kill you usually use a dual trim switch (and dual relays if appropriate). Your thumb pushes them both simultaneously but removing your thumb stops the trimming unless two things stick. Similar techniques are used to counter a single actuator failure so that a single actuator can't overpower an off and locked actuator. Ken >>--> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "Eric M.

    --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "Robert L. Nuckolls, III" <bob.nuckolls@cox.net> > >Comments/Questions: Bob, I have ordered your guide, but I have a pressing >question. What is the most effective way to supply poer to 4 injectors >from a single feed source? My initial thoughts are to use Raychem Solder >Splices How long are the wires from the common joint out to each injector? Do you have any sense of how often an injector fails shorted? The reason for these questions is to deduce the value of using a fused supply lead to each injector as the wires branch out from the common point. I've seen a number of diagrams wherein the designer has incorporated a 4-fuse array to protect the wires extended to each injector. The notion is that one wire could become faulted and take out one injector but leaving the other 3 intact. The engine would run poorly but it would still run. If you subscribe to the fuse-per-injector philosophy, consider using a fuse block like: http://www.aeroelectric.com/Pictures/fuseblks.jpg I've seen some rather complicated switching arrangements for protecting and controlling the fuel-injected engine but I'm mystified as to why the designer needs to do more than simply drive one of these fuse-blocks with an ON/OFF switch and branch out from the fuse block to various loads in the system. Do you have a recommended wiring diagram for your engine? Can you copy it and mail it to me? A blue PIDG splice will handle 3, 20AWG wires in each end. This device offers a handy and secure means for spreading one feeder out as many as five directions. Soldering the joint and covering with heatshrink is equally effective. I think your decision-making opportunities may be more involved than deciding how to branch 4 wires out from a single feeder.

    Subject: Canard Pusher Grounding Scheme
    --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: matronics.20.swinn@xoxy.net Hello! This is my first posting to the AeroElectric list. I've been following the web site and studying the 'Connection for some time now. I have noticed that the 'Conduit' style grounding scheme for canards has been removed from the 'Connection in the latest revision. I have an older version that includes a copper pipe grounding scheme that is no longer mentioned in the latest rev of the grounding chapter. I am wondering if this scheme is no longer recommended? I tried to find discussion in the archives as to why this scheme was removed, but was not able to find any. More than likely my search was defective. I am at the beginning of the electrical chapter on the Long-Ez project and can go either way at this point, conduit or #2 wire as described in the Revision 10 of the connection. I'm still drawing schematics.

    From: "Matt Prather" <mprather@spro.net>
    --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "Matt Prather" <mprather@spro.net> Here's a quote from the archives: " The first ground system I described in the 'Connection 15 years ago focused on canard pushers and indeed, a copper conduit was suggested as doubling for a wire pathway and system ground. A number of builders used this material with generally good success electrically. It is a labor intensive technique. We deduced later that running all wires together in the same bundle down one side of the airplane produced a similarly "quiet" system. What you propose would work. I'd recommend you run all wiring down the same side of the aircraft so as to avoid generating strong magnetic fields in the cockpit due to any un-shared electron paths between right and left sides. If it were my airplane, I'd ditch the vacuum pump, run an all-electric system and use plain ol' wires to carry the electrons. I will invite you to join us on the AeroElectric List to continue this and similar discussions. It's useful to share the information with as many folks as possible. A further benefit can be realized with membership on the list. There are lots of technically capable folks on the list who can offer suggestions too.

Jones" <emjones@charter.net> --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "Stewart, Michael (ISS Atlanta)" <mstewart@iss.net> Mike--I can't seem to open the story. Please confirm that the URL is okay. Runaway trim--I asked this question to spur my thinking about how to handle the varieties of trim malfunctions. This is aimed at the MAC-RAC trim. Very common, and pretty good for the money. A few years ago I converted this two-button trim to a true servo type that reads a potentiometer. I have designed a tiny little adapter box that allows any voltage divider potentiometer to set the position of the MAC-RAC trim servo. Then I started to add features. 1) I added an "In Transit" line to show an LED on the instrument panel when the trim motor is ON. 2) Then I added a line to feed the MAC-RAC LED bar graph (since I am using the internal pot for feedback). 3) Then I figured--I would put in a circuit to send the trim back to some set position if the power lead or ground or control lead to the trim opened. That is to say, if you disconnected the trim servo, the servo will return to neutral (or wherever). I would appreciate comments on this. I've got a few square millimeters left on the PCB on two more pins available in the socket. Regards, Eric M.

I've updated all the EV200 drawings at: http://www.aeroelectric.com/PPS/DCPwr to cover the starter as well. Yes, you can use this for a ground power contactor to but why? I'm not sure you want to use one as a starter contactor either. The low current consumption feature doesn't do you any good for their ground power or start modes . . . and these contactors are a lot more expensive than the stuff offered by B&C and others.

I need an explanation of > the ARINC 429 data stream. Who puts it together, and who wants it, and > for what? Perhaps the first answer is why you might want it. The nice thing about ARINC 429 is that it multiplexes a lot of different data on to one set of data lines. In the olden days you had separate wiring for almost every knob in the aircraft. For instance, the heading bug and OBS each required four wires. Each needle and flag in an indicator required two wires. Slaving information for your remote compass required four wires. The horizontal gyro needs five wires for its synchro output. Now imagine a remotely slaved HSI with CDI, VDI, a flag for each, heading bug, OBS, and remote horizontal gyro. Now you know why it has a wire bundle coming out the back that is as thick as your thumb. All that can be carried on a single pair of wires when using ARINC 429. Instead of each set of wires carrying its own special signal, now you can digitally transmit the same information and share the same pair of wires for all the data. The wires carry the electronic message equivalent of "heading 045 degrees," "OBS set to 317 degrees," "CDI is 1.5 dots left," "GS needle is one dot low," "ground track is 043 degrees," "altitude is 4,575 feet," "altitude hold set to 4,500 feet," etc. Once you get an idea of the messages that *can* be sent over an ARINC 429 data stream you can begin to get an idea of who generates it and who might want it. > I have a GRT EFIS display as primary EFIS, MX20, 430 for com, 330 for > traffic, BMA G3 lite for backup. > > > Care to explain the difference between the serial data streams and the > ARINC? Are all serial streams created equal? No, they are not. There are many different ways to transmit data serially. RS-232 is one physical specification and then you can layer things like async, HDLC/SDLC, and other higher-layer protocols on top of that. ARINC 429 has its own electrical and data format that is not like anything else (surprise!). Ethernet is yet another serial protocol. There are boatloads of ways to send data serially and many of them are incompatible. > The 330 for example, in the installation instructions, has 4 arinc in > ports and serves as a "concentrator" to then send out to the 430. What > is in the ARINC data stream that the 430 would want? Well, I can imagine the 430 and MX20 wanting heading data from the slaved gyro compass to orient the moving map display. You want the moving map to orient to your heading so the map on the screen looks like the ground even if there is a wind correction angle. The 430, also being a VOR receiver, wants to know what your OBS is set to. If there is traffic that information needs to find its way to the display(s). > It says the EFIS > selected course would come into the 330 from the EFIS, then go out on > the ARINC data stream to the 430.

Well, neither ARINC 429 nor RS-232 (NMEA-0183 for that matter) are designed to allow two data sources to coexist. Consider that your EFIS is providing heading and OBS data while your GPS is providing position and track data to your MX20. You have two data sources and one data sink. Either the MX20 must have a separate input for each device that sources data (impractical) or you can have various devices accepting multiple inputs and then combine them on a single output. A device that does this is a 'concentrator'. ARINC 429 is actually being phased out. The 'only one talker' rule is a real pain-in-the-butt, especially given that having multiple talkers and listeners on the same buss is common now. Ethernet is a good example. Airbus has standardized on switched 100Mbps Ethernet as the standard flight instrumentation buss now. And ARINC 429's data rate of 100Kbps makes it 1000 times slower than Ethernet. This is pretty simplistic but hopefully it provides a glimmer of why one might want to use ARINC 429.
