    Subject: Schematic Symbols - An Easier Way?
    --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "Dave Morris \"BigD\"" <BigD@DaveMorris.com> Yes, I love Visio for what it does well. (I'm a consultant, so Visio is my second best friend.) I've used the Technical edition and the Professional edition to draw everything from flowcharts to network diagrams to floorplans. And I've been using it since way before Microsoft "absorbed" it. But for schematics, it's not as good as DesignWorks Lite. I could be wrong, but I don't think there is a Visio edition for $39.95 that will do schematics and includes a component library. If it can do something like this: http://www.davemorris.com/Photos/Dragonfly%20Electrical/N75UP-Schematic-June2005.pdf please let me know, because I'll be glad to switch.

    Subject: Re: Crimper for large (AWG 10-6) open barrel terminals
    --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: Jon Goguen <jon.goguen@umassmed.edu> I have several uses in mind. The most demanding is as an OV disconnect for the B lead of a 40 amp IR ND alternator, with an 8 or 6 AWG wire. The contacts in the relay are rated for 100,000 cycles at 70 amps/14 volts. Do you have some reason to believe that fast-on style connectors don't scale up well to the 0.375 size and won't meet the manufacturers specs on these relays with respect to current rating? They would be installed as part of an integrated connector that includes all four terminals, and would be provided with proper wire support. I like them because they're very light, very cheap, and replaceable on a plug-in basis.

    --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: Mickey Coggins <mick-matronics@rv8.ch> I did my wiring diagram with Visio. http://www.rv8.ch/images/articles/20041121101637759_1_original.gif Visio is a great program as you know, but it costs *a lot* more than 40 bucks. Luckily I had a copy it from a previous life so I didn't have to pay for it myself. I tried DesignWorks Lite, hoping it could replace Visio, but I think it is targeted towards people that know something about electricity - that ain't me. I couldn't figure out how to draw a line, so I went back to Visio. I just don't have the time to invest to learn a new CAD program right now, since I only use it from time to time. For those of you who don't know Visio or DesignWorks (or any of the other nice drawing packages out there) I'd go with something cheap.

    Subject: Schematic Symbols - An Easier Way?
    From: "Lloyd, Daniel R." <LloydDR@wernerco.com>
    --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "Lloyd, Daniel R." <LloydDR@wernerco.com> The new version 2003 Professional offers a whole new type called electrical engineering and has a couple of hundred different symbols available as a template, and can import the CAD symbols if you want. I re-did the drawing you showed in about 10 minutes, of course I did not have to design it "GRIN", then I linked the objects, and as I move them around the page the bus moves with them, it also has the ability to do 4 conductor buses, pretty slick. The demo is free, and most of us have access to it through our workplace. If you work at a larger company that has a Microsoft select agreement, the IT shop is allowed to give it to you for home use, most people do not know this, and most IT departments will not tell you, because they do not want to support it at home. But become good friends with an IT guy and you will have access to it. Or load the demo and try it that way, but make sure to get the 2003 Pro, because this is the first version to include electrical engineering and makes it real easy to make schematics.

    Subject: Carrier Only Problem
    --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: Charlie Brame <chasb@satx.rr.com> A friend is having radio problems with a new intercom/radio installation. His bird is equipped with a intercom which appears to work as advertised. Intercom between cockpits is okay. The mic break level is easily adjustable using the intercom squelch, and the intercom volume is adjustable. The comm radio receives very well on all channels. However, the radio only sends a carrier - no voice, when attempting to transmit. The carrier is strong and can be heard on a handheld over a half mile away, but no hint of any voice. We have eliminated the headset and the intercom, we think. We have traced mic wires and all appear to be as they should be. The PTT circuit is apparently working as a carrier is transmitted. Why no voice? Any suggestions as to where to continue trouble shooting would be appreciated. Charlie Brame San Antonio

ICOM A200 VHF COM, Sigtronics 400 series intercom, Single (center stick) PTT. I had crossed the co-pilot and pilot mic wires at the panel. Easy enough to check. Talk into the co-pilot's mic and see if it modulates! Hope this helps. Do not archive. Rodney

If direct, the intercom might not be routing the mic signal out to the radio. Check with the intercom mfgr to see if it requires the PTT line to be routed through it to activate the xmit mic audio out line. Did you install a backup mic/PTT jack direct to the radio? If so, you can test from there to the radio with your mic plugged into this jack. If not, can you get to the mic in terminal on the back of the radio? If so, you can probe the terminal with a paper clip or something similar while holding the PTT. As you probe repeatedly, you should hear clicks on another radio on the same freq. This will let you know whether the radio's audio section is working. If all works so far, grab some clip leads & clip the intercom's mic output line to the 'ring' of your headphone plug & clip the ground terminal to the 'sleeve' of the plug. Hold the PTT down & talk in the mic, listening to the headphone to see if you hear audio. This will tell you if the intercom is passing audio in transmit mode. If still no joy, ask us again. Charlie

    Subject: Re: Crimper for large (AWG 10-6) open barrel terminals
    --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: Ken <klehman@albedo.net> Jon FWIW I downloaded spec sheet for the VF7 tyco relay and believe it is not suitable for that purpose. Figure 1 shows the ability to disconnect a resistive load and extinguish the arc. At 40 amps (or a bit more) it can't manage more than about 20 volts. Remember that you aren't interupting a 12 volt supply but something higher during a runaway and it will rise further as the contacts start to open and arc. With some inductive characteristics this is also probably a more severe case than the resistive situation that the graph refers to. http://www.snesne.com/vf7.pdf I found those "integrated" connectors to be problematic even on 1/4" spade terminal relays. The open barrel connectors don't seem to grip tight enough to reliably handle much current. I prefer separate PIDG connectors for each wire. I tried using PIDG connectors in an integrated connector but then they were too difficult to install or remove without destroying the relay due to the high forces involved. Most automotive relays don't interupt more than about 14 volts and I'm having trouble thinking of any that handle more than about 10 amps except maybe the anti-skid.

Check to see that the mic output level from the intercom to the comm radio is set correctly. Some intercoms have a separate internal adjustment to set the level of the signal going to the radio. Secondly, check to see that the mic level in the radio is set properly. Every transceiver with which I am familiar has a mic level control to allow the shop to adjust to accommodate different microphones. If you tell us which model of intercom and which model of comm radio you have I might be able to be more specific. -- Brian Lloyd 361 Catterline Way brian-yak at lloyd dot com Folsom, CA 95630 +1.916.367.2131 (voice) +1.270.912.0788 (fax) I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things . . . - Antoine de Saint-Exupery
