It appears that they are referring to the primary and secondary windings
of
the transformer, and not in the sense of a "backup".
In a nutshell, here's the way I interpret the Tyco spec: You can use our
circuit breakers to protect a circuit, but you must also use another
circuit
breaker or fuse to protect the same circuit. Does that make sense?

Interesting replies to your post. Checking the web sites, B&C has one
color of 24 awg, Stein has none, and Aircraft Spruce has 6 listed. :)
Those are all fine companies, but I would suggest that you use 22 awg
wire for the extension you are building or whatever. It's easier to
work with, won't weigh significantly more, and more readily available
in different colors.

Not in a small footprint DC power distribution
system typical of a vehicle. You can use these
breakers like any other breaker in crafting
your project. The primary/secondary thing is
unique to AC systems where transformers are
used for changing voltage levels or offering
isolation between sides of a system. Clearly
we don't do this in little airplanes.

As far as practical without getting silly.
What kind of VOR antenna do you have that

Subject: | Burning Vans Engine Gauges - Part 3 |
Thanks so far to those with advice!
It was frustrating to watch the engine gauges overheat and melt while watching
14.2 Volts show on multimeter at gauge. Right now, I turn master on and all gauges
light up, but after I start some gauges drop off and fail to power up unless
I cycle the Master. Is this from low voltage do you suppose?
-I plan to replace all damaged gauges (Volt, Oil Temp, Manifold)
-I will replace alternator (currently a Nippon Denso internally regulated with
standard pulley) despite it testing OK.
-Should I add over-voltage separately?
-Should I switch instrument power to eliminate them being on line during start?
Thanks for ideas...Jake

I think you're looking in the wrong place. You're drawing to many amps
through the instruments. Hook up an ammeter to the instrument ground and
measure the draw when you start the engine and while running.

Thanks Bruce...(will do this tomorrow - child-minding today).
I have a trend ammeter beside voltmeter....it shows nothing alarming but it might
not reflect instrument situation.
The instruments are fused at 3 amps...but that is at the buss and I think you are

Some years ago I did a data package for
wiring the A200. I just looked up the installation
info for the A210 and it appears that Icom for all
their technical skills have learned little about
airplanes . . . the installation manuals
leave a lot to be desired.
Here's my impression of the A210. It appears they've
added a 15 pin D-sub connector that parallels
connections in the 30-pin Molex connector. The
connector can be used in simple installations
like a line truck or FBO base station. As near
as I can tell, all other wiring on the Molex
connector for the A210 are the same as for the
A200.
I've updated the drawings I did for the A200
and published at:
http://www.aeroelectric.com/Installation_Data/Icom_A200-210_Wiring_D.pdf
I think you'll find these more helpful than the
factory installation manual. I'll further suggest
you use all white, 22AWG wire for connecting this
radio. The thing is very simple and taking time to
purchase a few feet of colored wire is not a
good return on investment. Use masking tape tags
on the free ends of wires to tell you where that
end goes when the installation is complete.

<snip>
Clearly your hall sensor is responding to "ringing"
in the magnetic circuit associated with the points-
opening event of the magneto. Have you used a 'scope
to see what's showing up on the tach signal when
the magneto is operating? The tach signal is quite
low in frequency so some form of low-pass filter
and/or other signal conditioning is indicated.
Unfortunately, the expected signal from a hard
switching hall effect sensor is already full of
high frequency components (cause it's square).
Rolling this off to get rid of the ringing spikes
will probably require re-squaring the signal after
low-pass to get tach input happy.
In the past, I've use phase locked loops to grab
the desired suite of low frequency components that
basically ignores the spikes. What is the sensor
brand and part number?

Ken,
My street interpretation would be if I have to pay $20.00 for a
spotter/tyco switch breaker which isn't really a breaker (it just says
so) and $20.00 for tyco pull breaker, guess which one I would buy?

Subject: | Re: noisy tach signal |
Thanks Bob. I don't have access to an o-scope so haven't been able to look
at the signal. The only filtering I've tried is the simple wiring of a 0.1
uF cap from signal lead to ground. My other efforts at solving the problem
have been trying various wiring routing changes and then changing the sensor
leads to shielded cable.
The sensor is a Westach Model 720-14R Hall effect sensor that screws into
the Slick mag vent hole over the rotating magnets. Westach has been very
responsive in trying to help solve the issue but no luck so far. They are
going to send me a sensor that is driven off the mechanical drive (model
303DH2T) and I'll see if that works better, but they tell me the setup I
have has worked for many others and I'm not sure what in my setup could be
causing the problem. I haven't heard back from IK-Tech yet.

Roger,
It would be nice if you scanned the sale page to also include the "date"
that it is good. That way folks that do not get the ad can take your
scanned copy, with current date, and hustle down to HF and purchase one.
I do not know if all HF outlets carry the same sales. But, they would
probably honor a sale print out.

It's battery powered. Older boroscopes needed to be plugged in to drive
their hi intensity lights.

The extended tube is to get the camera located on the end of the tube
where it is you want to see something - inside a cylinder or other
semi-remote / inaccessible place.
The "wireless" refers to the fact that you don't need an AC extension
cord for power. Additionally, the "wireless" refers to the fact that the
LCD monitor can be separated from the camera assembly so you can place
the monitor somewhere it can be conveniently viewed while manipulating
the camera probe.
Pretty cool for $99!

Subject: AeroElectric-List: New from Harbor Freight
I received a flyer from Harbor Freight yesterday, and one of the items
in it
was a new "borescope" that was priced down from $139 (on their website)
to
$99.99 in the local stores.
So, knowing that I would need one soon to exam the inside of my fuel
tanks
when I get the holes for the fuel filler assembly cut (and who knows
what
other little holes I'd have to inspect), I went down and bought it.
I bought it...it was much better than I expected, and a lot more solid
than
other Harbor Freight items I bought in the past. The first thing I
noticed
was that it was very well packaged in a semi-rigid plastic container.
I'll
use that to store it in.
I think it has a lot of neat features (in addition to the price), so I
thought I'd pass it on to you people in case you are looking for a tool
to
examine those hard to view places as well.
The camera/light source head is 5/8 inch in diameter...the flexible
shaft is
3 feet long. The camera, flex shaft and mounting head on the handle are
attached with o-rings and are claimed to be water proof. The whole thing
(including the monitor) has a nice solid feel to it and appears to be
pretty
rugged. Not the usual thin plastic like the Chinese stuff often is.
The length of the camera head before it starts to be bendable may be a
problem for some applications though, as even though the camera and
it's
fitting itself is only a little less than 3 inches in length, it needs
4-1/2
inches of clearance straight in to get a full bend in the flexible
shaft.
An application like this would be a good place to use the 45 degree
mirror
attachment that comes with it that I mention below.
The monitor/display is in color, has adjustable brightness (in addition
to
the LED light source brightness adjustments), contrast and orientation
(rotates the image in four steps) and can be removed easily from the
handle
and remoted as it uses a wireless connection to the camera. It also has
a
video output. It's cable has a standard RCA connector on the end so you
can
input it to any device that will accept a composite video input for
recording or viewing on a larger screen.
The camera and LEDs runs on 4 AA batteries in the handle, and the
monitor
has a rechargeable lithium ion battery. It comes with the charger as
well.
It has three attachments that fit over the camera head ...a mirror, a
magnet
and a pick. So you can hunt down and move or pick up things you find in
those deep dark holes.
It uses super bright LEDs for the camera's light source, and the light
level
is adjustable through a trigger on the handle. The camera does pretty
good
in low light as well...I was viewing items in my house this morning
without
using the LEDs.
You can see it online here:
www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?function=Search
And the manual is here:

Carlos...the monitor slides off and can be viewed without being attached
to the handle. No wires. It takes awhile to get used to the fact that
to work, the monitor POWER has to be on (I assume that turns on the
receiver), the HANDLE has to be on (the transmitter as well as the
camera and the light) AND the monitor display has to be turned on.
Maybe that's why they permanently mounted the monitor in later
models...without the transmitter and receiver, only need one switch to
do it all!
I played with it last night and took the monitor two rooms away from the
camera and still had a picture...have no idea how far it can be removed
(the instructions say it can be used "in close proximity" to the
handle...) but a couple of rooms away allows you to have the monitor
close to a tape recorder or computer if you want to save the video you
are looking at without having the recording unit in the garage or near
the work being examined (it comes with a cable to output the image for
recording or storing.)
I saw a big advantage to being able to disconnect the monitor when I was
playing around last night. When you are moving the camera by either the
flexible cable or the handle, it's a big help to have the monitor
standing still in front of you while you maneuver the camera.
It looks like the newer models that Ridgid is still selling under their
own name, no longer have that option.

As I said, Don...the foam is semi-ridgid (oops, I mean rigid
<G>)...Makes a great permanent storage box for it. It isn't a blown
plastic container like some tools have, with a latching lid, but it is
thick walled, and protective enough to store it in.
Originally, I was going to say "foam" but I didn't want anyone to think
that it was that fragile styrofoam that is often used to pack around
elctronics. The foam that the camera is packed with has a waxy feel to
it...very sturdy.

It would be nice if you scanned the sale page to also include the

your scanned copy, with current date, and hustle down to HF and purchase
one. I do not know if all HF outlets carry the same sales. But, they

FWIW
I saw Harleys post yesterday and went to my local Harbor Freight Store
(Margate FL) Iwent up to the counter and asked for the $99 wireless
inspection camera item #66550. The clerk got 1 off the shelf, rang it
up at $99.95+tax and I was out the door. No coupon or anything. And
yes, it works great.....

This is not a coupon that you have to have to get the price. It is just
an entry in the flyer. Just go to the store and ask for it. I would
assume that all stores have the same price on this item. Unfortunately,
you do have to go to a store to get one - no web discount. :-(
