Group,
What type of switch do I need (S700-?) in order to get the following
function: Off-On-On
I want the "on" positions to power two different set of cabin lights and I
only want one set to be on at time.
Thanks,
Jeff

What is it about alternators that generates so much angst?. Every
time this topic comes up, it seems like someone on the list goes
bizonkers. Are these devices invaded by demons, only to be released
every time this topic comes up?
Chop'd Liver, how hard is it to say, "I covered this in a previous

The old "cell" phone technology used some site-selection
philosophies based on signal strength. It was assumed that
when a phone was in use, it would be in range of perhaps
a half-dozen adjacent antenna sites and they would talk
amongst themselves to decide who would service the call
and which adjacent cell would take over if the phone was
moving.
Accessing these systems from the air might cause dozens
of sites to get pinged and the site swap algorithm would
get overloaded.
The digital systems are much more agile. I suspect that
when your phone requests service now, the system deduces
when you're airborne and simply locks you out. I've
tried several brands of mobile phones from inside airplanes
at all altitudes with very mixed results . . . mostly
poor.
If 9-11 happened today, it's much less likely that folks
within a hijacked aircraft would be able to establish
useful communications with the ground via hand-held
phones.

You can do it with a 2-10 switch - ON-ON-ON. Just don't hook up the
bottom ON position. See page 11-19 of the Aeroelectric Connection book.

. . . which presupposes that there are alternators in
existence that may be controlled from outside. I.e.,
turned ON and OFF at will based on command fed in
via one of the small wires.
I've yet to see one and to date, nobody has come
forward here on the List with a brand/model number
for such an alternator.
We can produce lots of hypothesizing, wishing, and
hip-shot assertions . . . all of which are simply
interesting conversation until we have the demonstrable
experiment.

Actually, I considered that too . . . and it's quite doable. However,
it takes some time and understanding to do the system integration.
We have HF antennas on the bizjets that depend on certain structural
characteristics to be in place for optimum performance. Because
the HF system was an accessory added some 30 years after the
airplane was designed, there's no symbiotic relationship possible
between structure and antenna. The structure becomes as much an
"antenna" as the intended radiator wreaking havoc on numerous
on-board systems.
In this case, the proposed hinge-dipole is probably doable
within limits for structural integrity needed for keeping the
rudder attached!
Can the hinge be 40" or longer?

Barry,
Though I do read this list daily, I don't recall the thing about airplanes (
and Hyundais ) to which you refer. In fact, until now, I don't recall you
"bitching" about ANYTHING. I've always been thoroughly entertained,
elightened or both by your posts.
So, how 'bout you share it with me??? I promise not to tell ! I'm dyin' of
curiosity ;o(
BTW, remember, I'm just a country doctor, so 'splain it REAL simple, would

It's my understanding that CDMA devices are not prohibited from such
use, but that's from prior discussions here years back. Do you have
"chapter and verse" to share with us? I for one would like to stay
current on this topic, as I do use my cell phone aloft from time to
time (and as I said, down low, below 2000AGL, usually with success.)

Barry,
In keeping with the philosophy offered by what appears to
be your adopted mentor (Yamashiada - for whom I cannot find
a single reference on the 'net) I will suggest that you've
been SHOWN how folks conduct themselves when sharing knowledge
and understanding here on the List. I will now take the
CORRECTIVE step of bringing it to your attention. Whether
or not we come to the last step is entirely up to you sir.
Be a gentleman or be gone.

In this instance I'm not 100% sure but it is possible that the ecm has
control over the alternator. But I do know for sure that mid 80's chryslers
we're controlled by what was called a logic module at that time. Mounted in
the rh front kick panel. Back in the day I sold quite a few of these for
that reason. They had 2 different types of alternators bosh which could have
had numbers such as 4339440, 5226600, 5227474, 5233474, 5233574,5233718 and
also chrysler design 5226200, 5227100. That may help in your quest. There
are other's that are controlled thru the brain also but cannot give you any
specific examples at this time. I would think an auto electric shop would be
a source of good info. I mean a shop that specializes in automobile
electrical problems only. I am just a used parts seller but if I can help
with some info I will do what I can.
I will say this, I would think that the extra wiring and weight
incurred by the addition of a logic module or ecm would not be worth the
effort in aviation.

Sure (or the avionics ground bus). It's a potential victim
of ground-loop noises. Now, having said that, be aware that
many appliances have case grounds that parallel their
pin-out grounds in connectors. This is one of the reasons
the panel or avionics ground bus was added to the panel at
Rev 11. This drastically shortens any potential ground loops
due to case grounds running in parallel with wired grounds.

One might be tempted to believe that personality-
driven conflicts are uniquely separate events.
In a population the size of this List there are
always one or more individuals who cannot
embrace the notion of assembling useful inventions
from an inventory of simple-ideas and sharing
understanding.
Personality duels have happened before and will happen
again. The best thing we can do is filter the noise,
focus on the mission and don't expend any emotional capital
on them.

I know all about the legalities, having studied both the FAA and the
FCC regs on the matter, and also having read the archives and
discussed it with a few experts off-list.
I was more curious about the practicality, i.e. whether people were
ABLE to make connections via cell phones. If not, and if there are
no rules against making calls in my Verizon contract, then it would
seem that Verizon is illegally impeding my use of my cellphone just
because I'm in the air, and I need to find out why.
Thanks to those of you who generally agreed that you can make calls
from down low, but not from up high.

P.S. This is an RF issue, which falls under the science of
electromagnetism, and thus IMHO included in the mission of this list.

Using the simple ideas, would such a technique even make sense as a way
to reduce engine loads? The field voltage drops once the battery is
charged and not as much current is needed. When the field voltage drops
the thing is easy to spin. Basically, the alternator already draws only
enough power to maintain the charge state. There's no horsepower to be
gained by turning it off, and it still must keep operating to maintain
the running loads.

Subject: | CHT/EGT instrument wire? |
--> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "Robert L. Nuckolls, III" <nuckollsr@cox.net>
I working on a panel upgrade on an RV-4 I bought several years ago. The
EGT/CHT cables are too short, I want to replace the existing cable to get
correct length. But I can't seem to find the same cable used to wire it.
Here are the markings: Clear Signal Cable from Inmac Santa Clara,CA 95054
E57891 Type CL2 90C 24AWG (UL) LL33523 CSA AWM A/B 80C 300V FT 4. Cable is
shielded w/ blue casing, it has 6 wires
(red,green,yellow,orange,brown,black). Two cables are used, one ea from 2
terminal blocks mounted on the firewall. Do you know where I can buy this
stuff...need about 8 ft.
Are these cables that run through the firewall bring
your EGT/CHT signals from the engine into the display?
The stuff you mention can't be thermocouple wire and
is not suitable to this task. I'm wondering if the
original builder did a poor-choice extension of the
wires.
What EGT/CHT instrument are we talking about? Do you
have the installation manual for it?

A few comments:
In some places, I have had a very easy time using my GSM phone while in
flight as high as 5000' AGL. Because the terrain around here is so high,
I can't recall trying to use the phone while above that altitude.
In urban areas (while flying), I think my luck is not as good. It's
possible that while in flight we get locked out when in areas where user
density demands high tower density. Handsets used in flight over an urban
area can see MANY more towers than when over sparsely populated areas.
Verizon may not be deliberatly excluding flying subscribers so much as
using antenna systems which concentrate on reliably communicating with
ground based ones. By doing this they can use fewer towers and/or lower
powered transmitters while providing at least as good coverage. I would
suspect that Verizon's coverage maps are modeled with ground based users
in mind.

Yeah, return on investment for an "electrical load
shedding" feature would be problematic. The actual
brake-horsepower required to operate the alternator
under most flight regimes would not make much difference
in airplane performance.
I seem to recall that one of our small cars had a throttle
switch that would shut the air conditioner compressor off
while the throttle was fully open . . . ostensibly achieves
better passing performance.
My sense is that if you're pushing out that far into
the corner of the performance envelope, "conserving" accessory
hardware energy for the purpose of delivering it to the
prop instead is not going to contribute much to the pilot's
longevity.
The added complexity for such a control system would have
a stronger effect on system reliability due to increased
parts count.

Subject: | Re: explosion proof fans |
--> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "Doug Windhorn" <N1DeltaWhiskey@comcast.net>
Tom,
Have you considered taking the fan out of the equation?
I wouldn't consider an electrical device to be safe in a volatiles laden
atmosphere unless it is UL Listed or FM Approved as "intrinsically safe" in
accordance with the National Electrical Code. As already related, paint
booth explosions do occur - the company I work for (or its insuring
predecessors) probably paid a few buck on that IH explosion.
Volatiles have what are known as Upper and Lower Explosive Limits (UEL, LEL)
when mixed with air. Explosions will only occur when the volatiles content
is within those ranges with the severest explosions occurring at the right
stoichiometric ratio. Determining whether you will get into these ranges or
not is a rather complicated analysis based on knowing the number of room air
changes per minute, and the rate of release of the volatiles into the room
environment, the latter being more difficult to determine. The more common
method of doing this is taking empirical measurements with a volatiles
detector. Obviously, all of this can become moot if there is no ignition
source present. Static potential from the plastic or other sources will be
reduced with higher humidity, do don't spray on a cold dry day.
Consider also, that most volatiles are heavier than air, so where you place
your air supply and exhaust is just, if not more, relevant than what you are
using to move fresh air through the system.
To take the fan out of the equation, consider using it to push air into the
booth rather than to exhaust it out. Install an air plenum on top of your
booth into which your fan blows. Provide large openings (to slow the air
movement) between the plenum and the booth with filters to remove dust that
might be drawn in. Exhaust the air from floor level.
Regards,
Doug Windhorn

Forgot one of your questions - regarding sizing of a fan.
You should plan for a minimum 12 air changes per hour in your booth, or at
least one complete air change every 5 minutes. Fans are usually rated in
cam (which is reduced by backpressure exerted by filters and other
resistances). I would use a fan that would provide 150% or so of the
required airflow to meet the recommended change frequency.

Doug:
Thanks for that information. At present I am favoring using a
waterborne urethane from Stewart Aircraft Finishing systems. It is
much less dangerous in all respects. They claim that after the paint
cures, it is the same as any other urethane. I'm going to talk to them
at the Copperstate Fly-in this weekend.

Subject: | Dead Horses don't die... |
Apologies to belabor these two points, but another builder I know is dead-set
on the ol' Cessna Split Master switch and a separate Avionics master. As a
long-time Nuckollhead, my plane is faithfully a Z-11, and electrically all
runs, all hits, no errors. My protestations have come to naught despite my best
explanations.
The Avionics Master won't die because so many radio makers still insist on
them by inclusion in installation schematics and threats of no warranty coverage
if not used. (I know this was true of Microair when I installed mine, and I
have requests out to GRT, Trutrak and Garmin for clarification) I suppose one
could feed avionics by connecting a separate fuse block to the normal supply
side of the e-bus through an "Avionics Master Switch" and accept the
single-point failure potential.
On the split master side, I could propose using the switch, provided crowbar
protection and low-voltage monitor/annunciation are employed.
In order to offer guidance, I have searched the A-list archives &
AeroElectric Connection website for supporting documentation and found Bob's article
on
Avionics Masters, but not the critical arguments I have seen for the past six
or seven years supporting avoidance of the split master. Can someone please
point to specific references?
Sorry for the broad request, but I am trying to spread the gospel here!
