List of Contributors Coming Soon! Dear Listers, There's just a few more days left in this year's List Fund Raiser and that means the List of Contributors (LOC) is just around the corner! In December I post a list of everyone that so generously made a Contribution to support the Lists. Its my way of publicly thanking everyone that took a minute to show their appreciation for the Lists. Won't you take minute and assure that your name is on the upcoming LOC? Tell others that you appreciate the Lists. Making a Contribution to support the Lists is fast and easy using your Visa, MasterCard, or Paypal account: http://www.matronics.com/contribution Or, drop a personal check in the mail to: Matt Dralle / Matronics 581 Jeannie Way Livermore CA 94550 I would like to thank everyone that has so generously made a Contribution thus far during this year's List Fund Raiser! Remember that its YOUR support that keeps these Lists running and improving! Don't forget to include a little comment about how the Lists have helped you! Thank you!

Today I had the time to address the problem at the airplane. The easiest way (and costless - apart from my $worktime$) to solve it was to leave the ground circuit which goes to the EFIS annunciator in the N.O. tab of the microswitch and change the EFIS configuration to =9CActive Hig h=9D (no need for the pull-up resistor), and connect the ground wire f rom the LED lights to the N.C. tab of the same microswitch (SPST). This way, when the baggage door is Open, the LEDs lights are fully lit and t he alarm =9CBaggage door open=9D appears in the GARMIN monitors, and when the baggage door is closed, the EFIS annunciator doesn=99t s how and the LED lights are fully Off. Yeay!! Another problem solved! Thanks Carlos P.S. - just out of curiosity, after I disconnected the terminal of the groun d lead of the LED lights, and before reconnecting it to the other tab, the L EDs showed a very low dim light whenever I touched any metal part of the air frame with my fingers just holding the connector =F0=9F=98=B3. These LEDs are really sensitive, they do emit light even with the tiny curre nt which was flowing through my body... > No dia 12/11/2019, =C3-s 16:23, Robert L.

Thanks! --Peter ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 04:31:06 PM PST US Subject: AeroElectric-List: Re: draft schematic attached From: "user9253" The 20 amp alternator fuse is way too small. The purpose of that fuse is to protect the battery from short circuits. The fuse should be physically located near the contactors. Use 18AWG for voltage regulator wires. The 5 amp regulator fuse is OK. The panel switch and 5 amp fuse are not needed or desired. Eliminate them. They are unnecessary failure points. Consider using 10AWG for the power bus feeder. The 12AWG wire going to the starter contactor is too big. Replace it with 18AWG. That wire needs to be fused. 5 amp should be good. The 14AWG wires connected to the power bus are too big. Replace them with 18AWG. Protect those wires with 5 amp fuses. Manufacturer's instructions take precedence over my recommendations. -------- Joe Gores Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=492871#492871 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 07:43:45 PM PST US From: Sebastien Subject: Re: AeroElectric-List: draft schematic attached I'd remove the panel switch.
