I posed the question to Tim Hedding @ B&C and received this in response. If you use an LED instead of an incandescent lamp, install a 470 - 510 Ohm, 1/2 Watt, resistor between terminals 3 and 5 of the LR3C-14 (or the SB1B-14) so that the LED does not glow dimly all of the time.

I guess I just got used to thinking of it as a low volt >sensor armed light. LEDs and incandescent lamps are not directly interchangeable in this application. You need to add a resistor to the LR-3 terminals to get the LED to masquerade as an incandescent device. I think 470 ohm, 1/2 watt between terminals 3 and 5 of the LR3. This applies to LEDs with built in resistors that turn them into 12v devices. If you're assembling your own LED indicator from scratch then you need both a series AND a parallel resistor. Here's one of several approaches that would work: http://www.aeroelectric.com/Pictures/Schematics/LV_Led.jpg Bob. . . ________________________________ Message 13 ____________________________________ Time: 06:02:10 PM PST US From: "Vernon Little" Subject: RE: AeroElectric-List: Garmin396/SL40 interface Two things: 1) Garmin's documentation leaves a lot to be desired.

I seem to remember that there is a wiring schematic in the 296 manual that made it pretty clear how to wire it up to the radio. I read it first in the SL40 manual - just wired it up and it worked. I would probably not have realised it unless i had read the SL40 manual first. If you want me to dig the info out the the manuals, let me know.

Tomorrow is the first day for my new (and only) employee. She's going to get up to speed on order fulfillment first and then we'll get her acquainted with the business end of a soldering iron. She also happens to be mother to my newest grandson and we're both interested in getting her things to do that won't get in the way of her of first being a good mom. I've got all the parts on hand to assemble a dozen or so . . . we'll get started on them this weekend.

I have a 4AMP/HR battery as an AUX battery for my EFIS. I am charging it via the main bus. Bus-5amp fuse-diode-aux bat. 18G wire The Diode has the #'s 339 and IN5400 on it. The 5 amp fuse blows! How can I get around this. I am assuming the AUX bat is drawing a greater current if it gets depleted a resonable amount and this is blowing th fuse. Do I need to increase the size of the wire and fuse? What is the max AMPs that will be drawn by the AUX bat?
