Subject: | Jabiru Voltage Regulator Low Voltage Light |
Hi!
I started my Jabiru 3300 for the first time a couple days ago. Here's a link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qB0qe9uE1vQ
I found out that I need to reprogram my MGL EFIS, but also my LV indicator light
acted unexpectedly. I have the stock voltage regulator which has 6 leads. They
say to connect the green one to a LV light, which I did. A fuslink then a
22awg wire takes it back to the panel where I've got it wired to a red LED light
and grounded to the panel ground buss. I've got a reverse diode wired across
the LED also. My master switch is a 2-10, Off-Bat only-Bat+Alt. With the engine
off (no alternator), the LV light is brightly lit in both the Bat only and
Bat+Alt positions. With the engine running and the alternator offline, the light
is also brightly lit. So far so good.
But when I add the alternator, the light dims about halfway. I expected it to be
off. This was at high idle, 900 RPM. The EFIS showed a supply voltage of 12.8V
at this time. Would I expect to see the light go out at higher rpm? If not,
is there a way to make the dimmed light go out when the alternator is online,
and allow a bright light to come through when the alternator is offline?
My MGL Enigma EFIS has an alarm that can be set for LV, so the indicator light
is a backup. If I can't fix it, I'd just disconnect it, or wire it to the EFIS
for a general warning light that would come on for any alarm.

Dan,
I noticed in your video that when the motor finally fired up, the
plane's tail-end raised up.
I think you dodged a bullet THAT time, but next time you may not be so
lucky. A few hundred
more rpm on your initial start-up and I am convinced your plane would
have nosed over, wiping out your
prop and lots of other expensive parts...like your motor.
Your wheel chocks and rope to the tree do not address the forward
tipping tendency of a highly
revved engine.
I watched this exact same phenomenon a few days ago...also almost
tipping onto it's nose.
I highly suggest you consider securing the plane DOWN at the tail-end,
like using a steel stake or
VERY heavy weight.
That's just my opinion. Other guys can watch your plane tip forward
and make up their own
opinion.

I believe "ENABLE" is the ground and "Vcc" is 5VDC. When your clock goes
"low" it connects to ground and makes the circuit to activate the tone.

Subject: | Re: EI clock chime |
I am not really smarter than Mike Welch. But I am better looking. :D
The 74LS368 is powered by 5vdc connected to pin 16 (labeled Vcc). As for automatically shutting off the tone after 2 seconds, another circuit is required for that. Perhaps something like this "One-Shot Tone Burst" circuit: http://www.eleccircuit.com/one-shot-timer-use-ic-ne555/
My favorite electronics book is "Engineer's Notebook" purchased in 1980. Although some of the ICs are no longer available. http://www.amazon.com/Forrest-Mims-Engineers-Notebook/dp/1878707035
The circuit that you use depends on the signal source, whether it is steady on
or a pulse. I agree with Bob N that a microprocessor will do everything. Its
circuit has the smallest parts count, will sense inputs and (if they meet certain
conditions) will output the desired signal for the required time period.
If one does not have a programmer, buying that will make the project more expensive.
And it will take LOTS of time to learn how to program. That cost of
time and money can be spread over several projects.

Subject: | Re: EI clock chime |
Thanks for that! If I were to put a pot in place of the 220 resistor
would I be able to adjust the volume? Also if I wanted to drive a 600
ohm load - ie an aircraft audio system - would I increase the value of
all the resistors by a factor of 75, or would that affect the frequency
of the output?
Is the actuated by the down going edge, or because there is a potential
difference between enable and Vcc? We used to call that ac or dc
coupled, not sure if that's the correct use of those terms?

I've found the datasheet for the 74LS368 here
<http://www.datasheetcatalog.org/datasheets/320/332263_DS.pdf>, looks
like they require only a 5v supply and input voltage, and so I guess
only output 5v also - not sure how that will drive my audio panel ...

Re: Gated Tone Source
I would not change the value of any component unless you intend to change the tone
frequency. The speaker could be replaced with a pot. And a capacitor between
the pot and the aircraft audio system will block DC. Bob's advice is needed
here.

Subject: | Alternator wiring |
I have a 24 volt 100 amp alternator that I am wiring up. I have 5
connections on the alternator. One is the B lead and I know what to do with
that. The other terminals seem straight forward until I look at the wiring
diagram options for the B&CLR3C-28 controller. The other terminals are
labelled F1, F2, GRD and Aux. On the B&C wiring diagram, my alterator is
not shown but they show a prestolite alternator that has terminals F1 and F2
with F1 getting wired to the field and F2 getting wired to either the engine
or alternator case as a ground. So I have a question about the grounding,
is my continental alternator like the prestolite....do I ground the F2
terminal and do I also ground the ground terminal?, and if so what is the
current basis I should use for ground wire sizing?. Its difficult for me
to see why these grounds are needed on an alternator that is bolted to the
engine with four substantial bolts... seems like the grounds could have been
wired up internally in their design but guess that was too much work for
them. By comparison my back up alternator which is a B&C SD-20 which has
no ground terminals at all. Now that makes sense. On the SD-20 there are
two field terminals that get pigtailed together. That just confused me
more. One alternator the two F connections get pigtailed and others have
one grounded and one connected to the field. I am sure this is logical to
someone but just not to me.

Bob, working on the two tone generator in the 'Connection, what is the
resistor that is between the two timers? Is it 220k ?

"Easy" is difficult to quantify. How handy
are you with the soldering iron? In the
audio systems chapter of the 'Connection
I illustrated a variety of tone generators
that could be adapted to various functions
in the well appointed airplane.
What would you like to tone to sound like?

No, the alternator gets grounded through
it's mounting hardware. Ignore the Aux
terminal.

They're redundant. Wiring to either or both will function.

. . . it was B&C's choice to parallel the two
leads when the internal regulator was removed.

As a general rule, warning lights built into
most regulators are NOT driven by true LV
warning systems. Suggest you ingnore the
lamp terminal and install a real LV warning
system . . . if your EFIS has an LV warning
then the one in the regulator is redundant.
