I got a cig lighter adaptor cord for my Garmin handheld, and was thinking of eliminating
the cigar-lighter socket and plug. I see that there are 4 connectors
in the gps end. Without dissecting the cord, what are the four wires for?

Good Morning Steve,
Two are for power. One ground and one feed.
The other two are for data transfer. My recollection is that they are
crossed, that is, the power feed A+ is opposite the Ground, etc. For my Garmin
295, the pin out directions are in the addendum section of the manual. What
Garmin do you have?
Happy Skies,

No, not really. The only draw back is if the passive (power off, not
active) noise canceling of the headset is poor like the Bose X in which
case you have very little effect from the headset without power for the
active system. If the headset is able to control the background noise
with the power off, then that is what will happen if you should lose
power to your headset.

I have 2 Lightspeed headsets will be using on our Europa.
Is there any downside using regulated ships power to run them?
Thx.

| Subject: | the physics behind Rotax ignition switch ratings |
--> AeroElectric-List message posted by: D Wysong <hdwysong@gmail.com>
The Rotax 914 manual calls for using ignition "kill" switches rated for
a minimum switching voltage of 250 V and a minimum switching current of
0.5 A. I've convinced myself that the Carling switches we have (from
B&C) are suitable after reading Bob's "Switch Rating" article. However,
I'm curious about the physics...
Is there really 250 V built up in that dual CDI just waiting for a path
to ground?
I assume that there is resistance in series to limit the current to 0.5
A when the ignition system is shorted. Would more resistance in series
with the "kill" switch act to increase the time constant of the shorted
ignition circuit (assuming it looks like an RC circuit) thus leading to
a longer "bleed" of energy from the CDI capacitors... and perhaps a
delayed shutdown?
Can anyone describe a "typical" time history of voltage and current
across the switch contacts for a "kill" event?
Thanks for entertaining such random thoughts!

I think all Garmin cords are the same. From my 176 manual...Red:8-35 VDC,
Black: Ground, Brown: Data Out, White: Data In.

--> AeroElectric-List message posted by: James Beeghly <jbeeghly@earthlink.net>
Lynn or Paul,
I have a related question: I picked up one of these Cannon plugs at
the Osh Kosh fly market. Now I need to figure out what goes to what.
My particular used Turn and Bank was made by Precision Aero
Instruments, but my guess is that a three pin hook-up must be close to
universal?
Looking in to the plug on the back of the instrument there is a "key"
at about 11:00 to orient the plug with pins at about 2:00, 5:00 and
9:00. I'm guessing one of these pins is ground and one is 12 volt +?
Would the third be for a light, if present?

Hi all,
Could someone point me towards a surce for a 3 pin plug for a Turn Bank.
It appears to be a fairly standard fitting, this particular
instruments is
a Unites Instruments.

Here's a view looking into the pin face of a male
connector (on the back of the instrument).
http://www.aeroelectric.com/Pictures/Connectors/MS3102E10SL3P.jpg
Last one I hooked up 25 years ago had pin A was (+) and B was
ground. Pin C was not used. This jives with data presented at:
http://www.wingsandwheels.com/page22.htm
down near the bottom of the page.

Any body had any experiences, good or bad with these cordless soldering irons.
Will they generate enough heat to solder wires, or mainly for PC boards etc.

| Subject: | Z-13/8 some questions |
--> AeroElectric-List message posted by: <rparigor@suffolk.lib.ny.us>
I am trying to shoehorn my needs into a Z-13/8 and have some questions.
Our Europa has a Rotax 914 and want to use a ND alternator on the vacuum
pad as primary alternator with a LR3C regulator and use the internal
generator as Aux alternator. The battery will be between 12 and 18 amps
located aft of the motor and Main-Bus and E-Bus by 7 feet (~ 14 feet of
wire) run will be using #4 wire.
1) Will the LR3C be happy if I connect the #6 Bus to my Main Bus, or
should it really go closer to the battery?
2) Will the LR3C be happy if I connect the #3 OV sense wire to my Main
Bus, or should it really go closer to the battery?
3) Rotax install manual wants difference between terminal C of the
regulator and the battery to be less than .2V, is this achievable with 12
feet of wire and a max load of 30 amps? What would happen if more than .2V
difference?
4)Rotax Install manual states" never sever connection between terminal C
and +B of regulator e.g. by removal of fuse"
Z-16 which is designed for only use of internal Rotax generator looks like
it disconnects C and +B, Z-13/8 which uses a SD8 as a aux alternator only
makes or breaks the output of SD-8.
When using Rotax internal generator as Aux on Z-13/8 do I want to follow
Z-16 and sever, or follow Z-13/8 and leave C and +B connected and only
make and break output?
5) Rotax install manual recommends a 30 amp slow blow fuse on output of
regulator, is a 16AWG Fuselink as used in Z-16 equivalent to a 30 amp slow
blow fuse?
6) On Z-13/7 E-Bus has a 20 AWG Fuse-link,16AWG wire, switch and 7 amp
fuse:
Z-32 Heavy Duty E-Bus Feed bumps up wire to 14AWG, a 10 amp fuse and a
relay instead of a switch
a) For the 3 additional amp fuse, why did a relay replace switch?
b) Why was Fuse-link dropped?
Thx.
Sincerely
