    Thanks for your comment i appreciate the feed back. Some of the feeders are bigger than they need to be but that's the wires I have. I see the downsides of having the start switch on the yoke but i do want it there. I have an enable switch which disarms the switch on the yoke. The enable switch also disconnects the e-bus during start. Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=470104#470104

    Thank you Bob for your response. How could I check if my alternator is compatible with en external OVP before wiring it ? (it is not wired anymore) It was wired like the picture attached in this message. (drawn by constructeur) Thank you.

    OK, I overlooked the switch that isolates the E-Bus during engine start. Your wiring diagram looks OK to me. > The enable switch also disconnects the e-bus during start. -------- Joe Gores Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=470114#470114

    > I thought the magnets were going to be CLOSE. 2.5" is like 'across the street'. The flapper door is 4 inches long and 2.5 inches wide. Plan A (what is currently built) has a =BD inch diameter magnet mounted in the middle of the 2.5 inch door frame=85so not like across the street but in the same housing complex. These toothbrush magnets are very strong so perhaps I could install them on one corner and then the switch on the other corner. > I don't recall now which 60's Cessna used a similar alternate air door but the magnet holding it closed was a rather pedestrian cabinet door latch. Gravity would re-close the door. They stole my idea=85HOW RUDE!!! >There were no annunciators on that system. Sorta takes the fun out of it=85Well I suppose their engineering budget was a bit more than mine so they would not really need a monitoring circuit. I could teach my cute little EFIS girl to say =93MONITOR=94 when the door opens but I guess that might be too 2017=85a =93light=94 will do. .. Cheers!!!
