I'm sorry that it took you so long to track this down but
a fusible link was selected for this application because of
its very long time constant. I you put a fuse in that slot,
it will have to be much larger than the downstream breaker
so that the crowbar system opens the breaker without opening
the fuse.
The usual approach to troubleshooting these kinds of
issues is by judicious probing with a voltmeter. Only
after the open circuit is isolated down to a manageable
segment does the visual inspection mode of investigation
kick in. I'll recommend you stay with the fusible link
in this situation.

Subject: | Odd ICOM IC-A200 Power/Ground Instructions |
The ICOM IC-A200 (VHF Comm radio) installation instruction
(http://www.aeroelectric.com/Installation_Data/Icom_ICA200_Installation_Manual.pdf)
depicts a 10 amp breaker, and tells the installer to "Use 2 pairs of #18
AWG wires for power and power grounding wiring." This struck me as odd,
since a single 18 AWG wire is normally used with a 10 amp breaker, and
since the IC-A200 is rated to draw only 2.6 amps (during transmit).
I called ICOM tech support and spoke to Mike, who told me that I should
indeed use two 18 AWG wires for power and two 18 AWG wires for ground,
and that the two wires should be twisted together "to reduce
interference". He further recommended twisting the end of the two wires
together, aided by solder, and crimping this assembly into the supplied
Molex terminal.
I expressed some skepticism about the efficacy of twisting two 12V power
wires together to reduce interference. I was unable to elicit an
explanation of the mechanism by which the alleged interference reduction
was to be achieved. I was also unable to elicit an explanation of why
it should take two 18AWG wires in parallel to supply 2.6 Amps (peak) to
a radio. I elected not to engage Mike in a discussion of the
advisability of crimping a connector to a soldered wire.
Does anybody have insight into reasoning or experience that lends
credibility to the idea that two 18 AWG wires should be used for power
(and two for ground) in an ICOM IC-A200 radio installation?
Thanks,
Tim Lewis

Subject: | Re: Wingtip Antenna Grounding |
Hi Sully-
I recently installed a Bob Archer VOR antenna in a second set of
hinge-mounted tips- I spoke with Bob how to best accomplish this and riveted the
base
strip of the antenna that is normally grounded to the wing skin with the tip
mounting screws directly on top of the lower tip-side hinge half using the same
soft rivets used for the rest of the hinge. Works great. Might work as well for
DIY version. If interested, holler at me off-list for foto of installation.
I've also simplified the hinge method of installation from my original as
recounted in the RVator, but haven't written up the procedure yet, so contact me
off-list for details.

Bob:
I've read thru the various sections of the book on grounding, wire
selection, noise etc, as well as the Blue Mountain article and the FAQ.
I already done some wiring in my wing and I'm concerned now that I may
have done it incorrectly.
Electrically, my wing contains:
Strobe light, power supply mounted at wing tip
Nav Light
Landing light
Taxi light
Pitot heat power
Pitot heat controller
Fuel pump
Fuel flow sensor
Remote compass
Potentiometer
I used twisted shielded wire for all wires with return wires for all
power supplies. It was intended that all the return wires would
terminate at what you call a "single point" ground. All power
leads/returns are routed thru the nose ribs, all control/sensor wires
are routed along the rear spar. They don't come together until the
panel. The wing is all metal, fuselage is truss tube.
For each power lead, I connected the shielding and the return wire
together at the load location and grounded them locally as well as
running the return wire back to the "single point" ground. Then, I
was going to connect the return wire and the shielding at the "single
point" and ground again there.
In reading Blue Mountain's comment, "Shields are connected at the source
end, and cut off flush at the load end" and your comment on pg 18-14,
"I'll further suggest that there's is greater risk that shielding
improperly terminated at both ends is 100x more likely to be the root
cause of a noise problem.....", indicates that what I have done may
cause problems. It was my understanding at the time that that was the
correct way to do it. Now I can't find what led me to that
understanding.
For better or worse, I'm stuck using the shielded wire so what should I
do to properly install it. Does it cause problems to ground the shield
at both ends. Does it cause problems to ground the return wire locally
and back at the "single point ground."
Your comments and explanation would be appreciated.
Thanks
Mark

No, ALL configurations using the SD-8 will include
self-excitation. I can't recommend or even deduce the
need for adding self-excitation to other products.
I don't know enough about them. But you can certainly
use the SD-8 without this feature. There are probably
1000 or so flying with out it. The chances of really
NEEDING it are small.

Subject: | Figure Z-13/8 with Dual EI (non-P/Emag) |
Let me start off with stating that I absolutely agree with Bob's
statement about Z-13 - "I can deduce no other configuration that
delivers more value". Use of the self powered Pmag for one of the
ignitions should ensure that the big fan keeps turning regardless of
what the rest of the electrical system is up to. But what if you want
to use something other than a Pmag? Lets say dual Lightspeeds or
something else?
Now I know that these would both be attached to the battery buss so they
are independent of the battery contactor, and the backup SD-8 and
battery could carry them after failure of the primary alternator. I
would agree that this is probably enough. But there is still one
failure mode, however remote, that could give a problem - battery
failing open, battery failing short, battery cable falling off, etc.
Now I know that this is exceeding unlikely but the probability is not
zero. If I understand things correctly, the main alternator
could/would? fail due to the "missing" battery and since the SD-8
backup was off line, both ignition systems would quit. Depending on if
the SD-8 was wired according to Z-25 (self exciting) and the prop was
still turning, you perhaps could get things going again but it might get
tense for awhile.
Here's an idea:
Incorporate the self exciting feature of Z-25 into Z-13/8 to guarantee
that the SD-8 was up and running even without a preflight check. Then,
provide the power feed to one of the ignitions from the junction of the
two steering diodes used to provide power to the Z-25 OV relay (the
diodes might have to be up-sized for higher current). Under normal
operation, this ignition would get its feed through the battery buss
connected diode. If/when the SD-8 output voltage exceeded the normal
buss voltage, the SD-8 would carry the load. Most importantly, the
ignition would be instantly "on" the SD-8 after any other failure of the
electrical system causing low (or no) voltage, including the unlikely
departure of the battery.
The only problem I see with this arrangement is that this ignition
system would not be protected from an SD-8 system over voltage event.
This might not be an issue with the Lightspeed which supposedly is good
from 4-35V but could be with other systems.
So, am I totally out to lunch here? Am I attempting to solve a
non-problem? What do you think?

no, an alternator once running will continue to run
unless hit with a transient load (big landing lights,
landing gear pump motor, etc) that exceeds nameplate
rating. Then it MIGHT stall . . . but I'm hearing that
many alternators will self excite at the speeds we
turn them on the front of a Lycoming. So no, loss of
battery is not automatically a dark-panel situation.

If you incorporate the OV relay that opens the AC windings
(preferred method) then the SD-8 comes up only after being
turned ON at the panel.

Lost of a well maintained RG battery (or even a flooded battery)
is so remote that I've never seen this scenario considered
in a failure mode effects analysis. It's sorta like worrying
about prop bolts failing. You're probably 100x
more likely to suffer an open battery contactor due to wiring
or contactor failure . . . this is why Z-13/8 was crafted in the
two-layer philosophy wherein the battery contactor is not needed
for operation of the backup alternator.
The "cleaner" approach to addressing this concern is to
avoid electrical system dependent ignition systems;
install one or two p-mags . . .
The most likely loss of battery scenario will hinge on failed
fasteners (over or under torqued) and this can happen ANYWHERE
in the system, including the feed to the battery bus. Craftsmanship
is the best prophylactic against such losses . . . just like
putting proper torque on the prop bolts.

Hi Sully
I'm interested in the reason why you are deviating from the standard
mounting for the wing tips, to 'piano hinges', do you intend to put the
'hinge' fully around the curve of the leading edge !!!
I'm sure that if this was standard way offered, many would move away from it
to the current options offered by VANS
Just curious

The OV Module in the Z-figures (in particular, Z-20, which is the one I am using),
show the OV module connected to the output side of the master switch. It would
be physically more convenient for me to wire it to the output side of the
5A circuit breaker. If I understand the way the OVM works, I think this should
be electrically equivalent. However, I thought it best to check with the experts
first, in case there are any factors I am not aware of.

Subject: | Odd ICOM IC-A200 Power/Ground Instructions |
Tim,
My guess is that since the power uses 2 molex pins 14, R it is a
mechanical thing (1 wire per pin) the twist and solder part is BS IMHO.
The ground could be 4 18-20 ga to maintain 1 pin per crimp. these can go
all the way to the ground point or joined to 1 or 2 wires, your choice.
As far as I can see from a grounding point of view you are trying to
maintain the signal ground at the same potential as the
airframe/battery. The IR drop wants to be as low as possible to achieve
this, lower than may be acceptable for the power leads. That said you
may want all 4 wires to go to ground.
I think that the mechanical issues and the redundant contacts at the
card edge connector are the overriding concerns here. If there is
another explanation based on physics it escapes me (possible).

Thank You that was exactly what I was considering, I'll contact you off list for

John,
I am doing this for a couple of reasons; easy access to perform service/maintenance
inside of the tips (AOA, antenna, strobes, etc) and it eliminates the screws
and nut plates which can get pretty ratty looking after a period of time.
Mark Phillips developed this and its pretty slick. I've seen it at Sun-n Fun on
a couple of different aircraft and it looks great. Check it out at Mark's site

Subject: | Looking good for the seminar |
Don
I'm coming in from Knoxville, TN. I think a friend will come with me from
Crossville, TN.
Before I registered for the Seminar, the site claimed they needed 15 more to
make the minimum 20. Afterwards, the number didn't change. Is there any way
you can check to make sure I'm registered??? I'd REALLY hate for this not to
happen. I've wired two planes by the 'Connection method and assisted several
others. My wife wants to meet and thank Bob for making my planes safer and
more fun. My buddy John is about to rewire his plane and is keen to attend
also.
BTW: Where's the best place to stay. We'll be coming in Friday. May not make
the meeting though since I want to go by Aircraft Spruce on the way down.

Hello all. I recently purchased a SoftComm 4-place panel mounted
intercom that comes with a pre-wired harness. I am very surprised to
see that the wires from the audio panel and to the headsets are not
shielded. Would it be prudent to replace these wires with shielded ones
or will it be ok using them as-is? If you're using this product with
the harness as provided, please send me a PIREP.
Thanks!
Michael

Any place downstream of the 5A breaker is fine.

Subject: | Re: Power Conditioning circuits |
While the time-tested certified aircraft avionics in my plane are
probably well able to handle the voltage variations, I am not so sure
about the experimental part of the panel. Because I have no round dial
gauges at all, I chose to include a 12V automotive computer power supply
(DC-DC regulator) between the main bus and those avionics. It keeps
them alive during engine start. Here is the little one (90 watts) I
used, but there are various versions with differing wattage
capabilities. As a side benefit, it outputs regulated 5V I can use to
power my iPod and charge my cell phone!

Virtually all audio system wires in aircraft
receive 99.99% of their immunity for noise
propagation by (1) twisting outbound and inbound
signal return lines and (2) elimination of ground
loops. Shielding is a prophylactic against
ELECTROSTATICALLY coupled noises of which there
are exceedingly few sources and next to none that
live behind the instrument panel.
While not a 100% sure deal, suppliers of such
products will have conducted due diligence in
crafting the design of their offering . . . while
working to reduce $time$-out-the-door price of
their product. Leaving off the shields is low
risk if (1) and (2) are dutifully satisfied
and it reduces $time$ required to produce the
product.
At the moment, I have no basis for telling you
that the supplier did a bad thing. Go ahead and
install it as-is.

Subject: | Re: Intercom wires |
Michael,
I'm using the two-place version of this intercom and factory harness in
my Long-EZ with no problems. 660 hours/5 years/12V system/IR
alternator/strobes/Lycoming O-235 with 1 magneto and 1 LSE EI.
I can't see shielded wire improving the performance of the earphone
wiring (it's low-impedance and high-level) although I can _imagine_ it
_possibly_ helping for the microphone. But in practice, all is fine.
If I had an aluminum airplane, I'd be sure to mount the jacks with
insulated shoulder washers to avoid picking up a ground common to other
(noisy) circuits.
Incidentally, Softcomm is one of the "good guys" -- they provided me
with a schematic of their intercom when I needed to fix it (blown LM386
output IC -- an easy fix).
Best,
Joe

Fellow builders,
I just checked Bob's site and we're just one shy of the
required 15 to hold the seminar. I'd say our chances are pretty good
right now.
I met with the EAA690 board tonight to discuss some
logistics. To keep the seminar flowing along and comfortable, we need
to provide (2) continental breakfasts, (1) lunch, coffee, drinks, and
snack foods. Bob's fee for the seminar itself is $185, due at the
beginning of the seminar. The chapter would also like to also collect
$30 from everyone attending to cover food/facility charges. Almost all
of that goes into your belly. Maybe a buck or two will be left over for
the chapter for operational costs.
If that seems unreasonable, please let me know. The
chapter is very determined that you feel welcome spending the weekend in
their hangar. Dinner on Saturday night is NOT included. I think it
would be great to find a spot nearby and go tell builder war stories
over a few beers, cokes, or tacos.
How many of you are out-of-towners coming in the night
before? The chapter would like to invite you to the meeting on Friday
night. I'm not sure what the agenda is yet, but it'll be posted on
their website soon. www.eaa690.org
If you want any local advice or help, let me know. I
would also be happy to serve as taxi for any out of towners and save
them the trouble of a rental car.

Hey
Just a note to those who may be considering sponsoring/attending one
of Bob's seminars. I conned our chapter 65 Stoney Creek, ON, into sponsoring
one 2 years ago. The group was skeptical regarding sufficient attendance (
we have 60 members, about 35 active) but were willing to assess the
surrounding area (toronto is 4 million, 40 miles away).
With two months to go, we had the quorum - with one month to go we
had an extra 20 - and by D-day we had 3 from Pennsylvania-New York, one from
further south and three from 70 miles east. The Seminar was excellent, not
one complaint and many kudos.
The content was super, the event a success by any standard. Do it.

When ever you see paralleled pins, the first thought
that comes to mind are desires to (1) minimize total
resistance in that conductor path and/or (2) an attempt
to 'share' total current between to pins in the connector.
I've written several times about programs I've worked on
where it was desirable to run 20 or more amps through a standard
D-sub connector. I developed this process about 10 years
ago at RAC and tried for the first time on the GQM-163 target
and currently used in numerous locations on the Hawker 4000
power distribution system.
http://www.aeroelectric.com/Pictures/Schematics/D-Sub_Power_Dist_1.jpg
HOWEVER, for this process to work effectively, you MUST
have a suitable length of wire on EACH pin BEFORE they are
joined together into a common conductor. In the case of
the ICOM (and numerous other radios) I'd put a 6" piece
of 22AWG pigtail in each pin to be paralleled and bring
the pigtails together into a common conductor at a soldered
joint or butt-splice.
The ballasting resistance of the pigtails is essential
to making the pins share the total loads.

How many shielded wires do you have? Generally
speaking, p-leads, strobe-head leads and the occasional
avionics signal leads are shielded and the installation
instructions for those systems should be followed for
how to handle shield grounds. In some cases, a shield may
be PART of a signal or power distribution path and is CONNECTED
at both ends . . . but only one of those ends will be 'ground'.

Where, if any place have you arbitrarily added
shields where they were not called for by
manufacturer's installation instructions?
I am reminded of a telephone call I received from
a LongEz builder about 15 years ago. He recited
the fact that he had wired his airplane with shielded
wire throughout and added a litany of devices on which
he had added "noise filters". He ended the recitation
with, "What else do I need?" I was somewhat taken aback
and had to inquire, "What kind of noise problems are
you experiencing?"
"Oh, none yet. The airplane hasn't flown. I'm just
trying to make sure that I don't have a noise
problem when I'm finished."
I had to inform him that he'd added a lot of unnecessary
pounds and much $time$ to the effort of assembling
his project. I had to advise him to rip it all out
and start over but taking his cues from (1) manufacturer's
installation instructions and (2) observations of
the recipes for success by others - get the service
manual for a C-172 and see what wires are shielded.
I'm curious as to your statement about "stuck using
shielded wire" . . . let's first explore what wires
are shielded and why . . . and then sort out the
best methodology for handling the shields.

Subject: | Audio panel #inputs vs #sources |
Folks,
I have three inputs that should be 'unswitched':
AOA warning
Traffic Alert
AF3400EM Engine monitor
My audio panel (PS Engineering PMA7000MS) has two unswitched inputs.
Can I tie two of the sources to one input? I think there would only be an issue
if they both went off at teh same time.
Alternatively, I can put the third to a switched input and leave the switch on.
Thanks,

By the way, Bob
On a broader view of noise protection, let me ask a general (perhaps too
much general) question:
In TC or OBAM aircraft, which of the wires of all used in present electrical
installations must be (or should be) noise protected, and from those which
shall be twisted and which shall be made from shielded wire?
Apart from the ground-loop and careful grounding procedures...

Hi Greg,
I made my own annunciator panel, similar to the way you are planning.
Instead of buying strips of plastic, which would probably have been
smarter, I made a "U" shape channel out of E-glass fiberglass and epoxy.
The U channel was the length and width of the annunciator panel. I
laid up thin strips of E-glass for the dividers between the individual
cells and glued them in place with a dab of epoxy at each end. I spray
painted the inside surfaces with flat black paint, which prevented light
leakage between adjacent cells.
I drilled holes in the back of the U channel for the LEDs, and glued
them in place. I made a clear Plexiglas cover for the face and applied
P-Touch labels (printed in reverse type) to the back side of the
Plexiglas. I then placed a smoky black Plexiglas cover over the top, so
that the labels were not visible unless the LED was illuminated. It
looked pretty cool and worked great testing it inside my garage.
However, in direct sunlight once I started flying, the LEDs weren't
bright enough, so I had to remove the smoky black cover. It is now very
functional, but not nearly so cool looking. I'm glad that I didn't glue
the Plexiglas covers in place, because it would have made removing the
dark cover difficult. The Plexiglas cover is sandwiched between the
back side of the instrument panel and a flange around the perimeter of
the annunciator housing. So far, it has stayed clean inside. If dust
or bugs eventually get inside, I can take it apart and clean it.
Good luck with your project,
Dennis Johnson

I talked to them on the phone. I asked a lot of
questions out of curiosity. They are willing to
explain the operations and design. They claim
it will protect from OV as well as transient spikes.
There is always DC-DC power supplies. I'm sorry
I can't recommend a brand, supplier or model but
if you Google DC-DC power supplies you will find
a lot info and products. These supplies are getting
smaller and lighter and cheaper.

Subject: | Strobe discharge pop-pop-pop |
I'm doing some system testing and I can hear a very slight pop each time my strobes
discharge through my headset. It doesn't break the squelch or prevent me
from hearing the radios - or stereo for that matter. No whining on the charge
cycles and I gotta listen carefully to catch the pop - but it's there.
Is this strictly due to the high-voltage discharge in a 12V system? Is there something
I can due to get rid of this? Or should I take gladness that it's faint,
doesn't interfere, it's as good as it gets, have a coke and a smile and.......?

That will work if that's what you want. Some would say even that is overkill

The way my system works is that a locking pin has to pass through both
sections of the lock to push a switch to enable the light. A pushbutton
on the handle requires activation to turn the light on so I don't have
to have it staring me in the face during the run-up. Confirming the
gear down is a checklist item, but the procedure of having to actually
push the button allows for some muscle memory to backup the checklist 8*)

Subject: | Question about Annunciating Lights |
Everyone...Thank you for all of the responses and suggestions. It looks
like I will need to hit the aviation section at Home Depot again. Although,
sometimes the aviation section at Lowe's is better.
The idea with the U-channel is an excellent one, I wish I had thought of it
sooner. If I can find a piece of the right size, it should work out nicely.
I did contact Paul off-list but did not know the thread existed on VAF.
Thank you for the link. I think I have solved my problem.
I still need to go buy a band saw anyways; that however is a heck of a lot
cheaper than what I was quoted from Statcoswitch for a lighted indicator
matrix.

Subject: | XM radio power cord |
A question regarding an XM Express radio that I use in the airplane and in
the car.
The power cord for the XM radio has a cigarette lighter type plug, is about
three feet long with a mini coaxial plug on the radio end. Clamped on the
cord are two cylinder shaped plastic devices (for lack of a better
descriptive word). There is one on the cig. liter plug end and another
smaller one on the radio end.
The wire used in the power cord is very stiff and difficult to keep
organized and out of the way. I would like to substitute another power cord
that is coiled and stretchy. Much easier to manage and keep neat.
What are the devices clamped on the cord and what is their function? What
will be the impact if I used a power cord without the devices.

Subject: | Re: Shielded Wire |
Bob:
Maybe this is a little clearer:
All the wires in the wing are shielded.
The wire used is MIL-DTL-27500TG2T14. That particular one is 12AWG, two
conductor, twisted pair, shielded and sheathed. The unshielded version was
not available without special order and long lead time. The weight
difference between shielded and unshielded was 2.75lbs for 1,000 feet so I
got the shielded version.
There are no manufacturer's recommendations per se. Sizing for loads was
done as per AC43-13-2A based on the power consumption rating for each load.
All power loads have a power lead and a return lead. The sensors have how
ever many wires are required by the sensor.
Ignoring connectors, fuses, switches, ground buss etc, all power loads were
to be routed as follows:
Power lead: Bat(+) -to- Load.
Return lead: Load -to- Bat (-) and, Load -to- Airframe (at Local
Ground) -to- Bat (-)
Shielding: - Bat(-) -to- Airframe (at Local Ground)
I can't find where I read it but something led me to believe that if you
were going to use shielded wire it was OK to do it the way I did.
So, given that I am going to use the wire I have, that I am going to run a
return lead for all power loads and that I want to hook up the shielding on
the wire, what is the correct way to do it?
Regarding the return lead, I'm pretty clear that the return lead should not
be grounded at the Bat (-) and at a Local ground. Quote from your response:
" One and only one ground . . . local is probably fine
but not both places . . ."
No problem changing it but why is it such a bad thing to do it that way.
Using the landing light as an example. What harm does it cause to ground it
locally and also run a lead back to the bat (-). Why is that worse than
only grounding locally and the corollary, why is that not better than only
running the lead back to the bat (-). Is the same applicable to the
strobe's power unit and the fuel pump. Would it be the same for something
like a flap actuator motor.
Regarding the shielding: I'm less clear on this. Removing the local ground
from the return lead will also take the shielding out of the ground path
from the Load to the Bat(-). But what about grounding the shielding itself.
Again using the landing light as an example, what is the difference between
grounding at both ends and grounding only at the Bat(-). Is the same
applicable to the strobe's power unit, fuel pump and flap motor.
Looking forward to your explanations.
Thanks
Mark

Have you tried it outside? My radio picks it up when in a metal hangar
but not when outside. My intercom picks up a little as well via power
supply or ground but hardly noticeable with the engine idling. So it
might not be worth pursuing. The chapter on noise and grounding may be
helpful. And if it is still noticeable a cheap automotive radio power
filter on the strobe power supplies also helped in my case.
