Capen) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 06:55:17 AM PST US From: "Ralph E. Capen" Subject: Avionics-List: S-Tec 30 GPSS internal fuse Anyone else out there with S-Tec 30 and GPSS? Any of you having issues with the internal fuse in the GPSS module? Mine blew once during construction and was a real pain to ship back and have S-Tec (whatever their name is now) solder in a new one. I attributed that to using a power supply (even with a battery) to run my panel during build testing. It has since blown again and I am trying to figure out a way to not have to go through this PITA another time. More importantly, what is causing this little critter to pop in the first place? The rest of the panel works fine with no other avionics issues. I have gone back to my engine monitor to look for any recorded voltage spikes....the highest I have is 14.0 which should be within the normal operating range of the system (?). I have spike catching diodes on my relays and have a process for powering up and powering down stuff like this to prevent it from happening for other reasons. Your thoughts please, Ralph Capen RV6A N822AR @ N06 55hrs ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message avionics-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Avionics-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/avionics-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/avionics-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
