Thank you Joe, you gave me ideas ! To everybody, how about installing ANL current limiters on a PCB ? Along with the ATO fuses, of course. Thank you, -- Best regards, Gilles http://contrails.free.fr http://lapierre.skunkworks.free.fr ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:53:16 AM PST US From: William Hunter Subject: Re: AeroElectric-List: Re: Do I need a Pull Up resistor? !!!!!!!! IT WORKS... IT WORKS!!!! Some POSITIVE FEEDBACK on my ICE annunciator. I installed the Cherry Reed switch mp200 703 and connect it up the blue wire to ground and the brown wire to the Dynon EMS sensor wire that is shared with the Dynon pitot heater fail sensor wire. The Dynon pitot heater fail annunciator is such that when the unit fails or is turned off the units sensor wire is grounded and since my new Cherry Reed switch is connected up in the manner that when the alternate air door is opened and therefore has moved the target magnet away it completes the circuit and provides a path to ground. So now when the alternate air door opens due to ice blockage of the air filter and/or the heater system fails or is turned off I get my fancy blue ice annunciator on the EFIS screen Conversely when the alternate air door is closed and/or the heater is turned on then I do not have an annunciation on the EFI screen. As always, I am sincerely grateful for your time and help in this project! More questions to follow Im sure...
