    Subject: Questions on Z-16 Diagram
    From: "txpilot" <djg7@comcast.net>
    Hello, I'm currently building a Zenith CH-701 with a Rotax 912S. I'm using the Z-16 revision M schematic as a guide for designing my electrical system. I'm afraid I'm struggling a bit on understanding this diagram and have a few questions. 1. The schematic shows the start switch connected to a starter contactor which I assume would be B&C part S702-1. I'm using an ACS A-510-2 ignition switch. Can this start switch be directly connected to the starter relay supplied by Rotax, or will I need to purchase S702-1 and run it in series with the supplied starter relay? Do I need to worry about excessive wear on the start switch contacts if I directly connect the start switch to the Rotax starter relay? 2. I'm trying to understand the overvoltage protection. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this is the sequence if the voltage regulator fails: A. Crowbar Overvoltage Module senses the overvoltage condition. Creates a 'short' from alternator master switch to ground. B. Alt breaker responds to the short by tripping, thus de-energizing alternator OV disconnect relay. C. Alternator OV relay opens circuit from alternator (yellow AC wires), thus removing the alternator from the system. 3. Assuming I'm right on number 2, I'm confused on the N.C. and N.O. terminology. I thought an energized relay circuit would be considered 'normally closed', but according to the diagram that would open the circuit and take the alternator off line. I don't mean to get too wrapped up on the terminology, but I want to make sure I understand what I'm doing here. Thanks in advance for any advice. Best Regards, Dan Ginty Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=143737#143737

    Terry Watson a crit : > Can you tell us the make and model of the flakey EFIS, and a little more > about the circumstances? > Terry, The instrument is some sort of Becker moving map about 6-7 years old. Considering the behaviour, I did not try to determine the exact denomination ;-) Anytime the voltage sags, the unit reboots : for instance on the ground with the engine idling, one must not move the electric wing flaps lest the GPS reboot... Also, the display is not really sunlight readable : we had to use a map as a shade to accurately read the map. The associated Dynon is not much better in this respect, BTW.

Can this start switch be directly connected to the starter relay supplied by Rotax, You can use the Rotax starter relay. Make sure to add a diode or else across the coil. > 3. Assuming I'm right on number 2, I'm confused on the N.C. and N.O. terminology. I thought an energized relay circuit would be considered 'normally closed' > Most relays have 'normally open' and 'normally closed' contacts. That tells us which contacts are closed or open when *de-energized*. You chose which set of contact you want to use. You may wish to look at the relay documentation to identify which contacts are which, otherwise you can use a multimeter. Best regards, -- Gilles http://contrails.free.fr

    Dan; "Normal" with respect to switch or relay contacts means just that, "normal", "most of the time", "as sitting on the shelf" , etc. The opposite of "normal" is the activated or energised state where power is applied to the relay coil, the switch is activated, etc and the contacts transfer to the opposite position.

    Subject: How small battery for the B&C BC320 starter?
    Sam, The subject came up earlier, when using electronic fuel injection there is a need to plan so that the endurance of the battery is at least half the endurance of the fuel, so that a failed alternator would not stop the fan away from a landing place. The electrical load for the fuel injection includes the load for the pump at least 8A total. The Odyssey batteries are designed to deliver a high current for big cranking start but endurance is better with some others formulated for lighting and IT back up. I chose an HGL 33-12 which is a major overkill for endurance over 4hrs and weight 24lb. The very big HGL range is sealed glass matt low maintenance good endurance. The Odyssey has the big reputation for cranking in aviation.

    Good consideration, Peter. I think will be using two batteries and one alternator. I'll use my existing battery which was designed for my original endurance bus, then I'll add a second for cranking. I'll have to get busy and run some numbers.

    Wow, the website has a vicious set of pop-ups. This review seems to be to good to be true, is this one brand of battery really so superior?

    The TYPE is superior but there are other equivalent units to the Odysey IMO such as the Dekka series by East Penn Mfg. Even the 15AH one in my $30. Chinese automobile booster has survived much more abuse than I expected. I've even run a 1 kw inverter off it for power at the airport.

    I give you $5.00 for it! I=92ll smash it on video and send you a free copy. This is a good deal.

Still a good savings over the current versions. Make me an offer.

    Subject: 496 Audio
    I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the PS audio panel. I do know in the past they have been far more willing to help make weird things work than Garmin seems to be. Dave Saylor AirCrafters LLC 140 Aviation Way Watsonville, CA 831-722-9141 831-750-0284 CL www.AirCraftersLLC.com -----Original Message----- From: owner-aeroelectric-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-aeroelectric-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Kenneth Melvin Sent: Friday, November 02, 2007 4:56 PM Subject: RE: AeroElectric-List: 496 Audio --> <Melvinke@coho.net> Very useful information! I am currently wiring the 496 audio/warning output into the "music" jack of the PS4000 audio-panel. Does one tie the "voice+" and "warning" wires together into the "tip" terminal, and the "voice -" to the other? Thanks, Kenneth Melvin, Hillsboro, Oregon.
