I own a Glastar, built by someone else, that has the battery behind the baggage
bulkhead.
The builder ran 14awg wires connected directly to the battery and powering the
Electroair ignition and fuel injection boost pump.
I need to add a fuse link to these wires. Can I build the links using the same
method as described in the document located in Bobs archives, as long as I size
them up to the appropriate rating?
I already have the fiberglass tubing material leftover from my Glasair project.
I figured I could just use an 18awg wire for the link.

| Subject: | Intermittent power supply issue |
I have a Long-EZ with the Z13 11/01 architecture.
It has been running fine for 5 years but now an intermittent power supply i
ssue has arisen.
The Garmin 530 and GTX 330 run off the endurance bus and have been going of
fline recently: the transponder more frequently but the 530 nav/com/gps has
the "power off" screen come up and then power seems to reestablish itself
and then all is fine with the radio for a while.
The VMS1000 engine instrumentation display also comes off this bus and the
volt sense has recently been showing 12.7 to 13.7 volts.
Bypassing the bridge rectifier now has the voltage showing 15.1 to 15.4 vol
ts and then flashes the volts display.
I am about to go through the LR3C troubleshooting guide, but wondered if an
yone has any bright ideas as to what may be occurring?

| Subject: | Garmin GNS430 goes into setup mode - screen with colored |
boxes
Today I resoldered one of the wires on my GNS430 connector (it was the RS232
Out 1 wire which had mistakenly been connected to the wrong pin, which is w
hy my GNS was not communicating with my Trio ProPilot) and when I put everyt
hing back and powered up the GNS430, I got a strange startup screen with lot
s of concentric colored boxes. The unit appears to startup in SETUP mode be
cause when I turn the right dial I get the other setup screens. But no matte
r how many times I try it will not startup normally.
I have posted some pics to give you an idea of what I see. The screen that i
ntrigues me is the Main Diagnostics screen which appears to have "Unrecorded
exceptions", whatever that means.
Does anyone know what this behavior indicates? Is it broken in some way? Can
someone who has a GNS430 start it up in setup mode (press the ENT button wh
ile turning it on) and tell me if their Main Exceptions screen looks like mi
ne?
TIA for your help!

My i200 has a couple of adjustment screws on the circuit board if you
open the case. You want the one labelled "squelch". Mine also needed
tweaking for satisfactory operation.

Just an inline fuse holder will be fine. Rate
the fuses for 2x the max current draw of the
ignition systems.

Do you KNOW what that current level is? 14AWG
wire is obscenely oversized for this application.
