Hmmm . . . Dave has suggested exploring a diddling-of-the-pots.
It that doesn't revive the ol' feller, consider a Schumacher
1562 series device from WalMart. About 1/2 the price if you
have to have the BT shipped in . . . and about twice the snort
(0.8 versus 1.5 amps).

I did some more think-work on them while on the
round trip to Denver. Got the packaging decisions
resolved. I'll do a board layout on the 9004 Monday
and get some proof-of-concept parts built for
my software guy to play with. Should be within
the next 60 cays. By the way, I'll be looking for
"Beta testers" for the 9004. I'll provide a ship
set of 9004 parts to someone who is already flying
regularly if they'll install the parts and
give me feedback on installation/operational/performance
issues. Email me directly.
The 9011 design is done. I just need to inventory
up on parts and show the kids how to assemble and
test them. We'll do both programs together.

Bob;
On page 4 of the document found here
http://www.aeroelectric.com/Catalog/AEC/9011/9011-700-1C.pdf at bottom of
the page, the connections are shown for the various pins in the D9P
connector. Pin 6 is used twice. Typo I would imagine?? Same issue in this
drawing http://www.aeroelectric.com/Catalog/AEC/9011/9011_PM_OV-LV.pdf

Subject: | Re: Switch Labeling |
I'm a bit embarrassed, but at least I caught my mistake. I had designed my instrument
panel last summer, and in the fall I added a boost pump to the fuel system.
When I resumed the instrument panel project a few days ago, I had forgotten
all about adding the boost pump.
So I've added a 2-3 switch for this in my design. Below is one possible solution
doing it this way, which keeps the center position labeling format by still
having the 2-10 switches separated from the others. I've simply moved both the
'push start' button and 'starter engaged' up and the mag switches over.

Another option is to put the fuel pump switch in the space between the 2-10 switches
and 2-3 switches. The labeling is more cluttered and confusing, but it allows
the starter button to stay in the same row.
I also switched the ALT/BAT main power switch with the EFIS PWR switch. I'd prolly
do this in the previous layout, but just didn't catch it before posting. So
the start sequence would be flip the ALT/BAT switch (up). I think the ALT WARN
light would come on in either center or up positions, since the alternator
is offline. I'll have to double check how I'd wired it. I have the Jabiru voltage
regulator and have the green (LV) wire available for this. As I understand
it, this would be the lead to connect to the ALT WARN light.
Next would be the EFIS PWR to center. If the EFIS powers up, I know my EFIS backup
battery is working. Flipping it to the up position would bring the main battery
online to the EFIS, which is needed to charge the backup.
The fuel pump, left and right mag switches would be turned on in order. The primer
cable needs to be pulled open for a few seconds when cold starting. I have
a Rotec TBI and doing this opens the diaphragm to allow more fuel to flow. I
imagine if this is done when the fuel pump has been turned on, it wouldn't need
to stay open as long as with the pump off. I'll figure out later whether it's
better if the primer is pulled before or after the fuel pump is turned on.
With my non-pilot eyes, it seems the the layout with the gap between the 2-10 switches
and the others is simpler. The center positions for both switches are
easier to read. And the gap in the row of switches separates the switches a little
more making it easier to find things. For example, suppose I've reached altitude
and turned off the boost pump when my mechanical pump fails. It would
be easier to locate the fuel pump switch as the left most switch of three, compared
to the middle one of five.
