    From: "willydewey" <willydewey@gmail.com>
    Hi Guys I have an anomoly. My Grand Rapids EIS2000 reads 8.5 volts when the engine is running and I am in the air in the cruise. Ay the same time my supplimentary analogue voltmeter shows 13.8 volts as normal. Cannot stop the warning EIS light from flashing as a result. Any Ideas and suggestions would be much appreciated. Best Regards and I hope all you Guys have a good Christmas and a safe and happy 2019 Very sorry about the crash in Holland. RIP and sympathies to the families Bill -------- Give a wise man knowledge and he will be yet wiser Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=486339#486339

    If it is anything like an MGL EIS that I recently had dealings with, it is probably a poor earth return from the EIS.

    I assume that the two instruments are measuring the voltage at the same point and that the connections to the EIS are all good. I had a faulty reading on one sensor on mine and it turned out the pin wasnt locked in the plug so had shaken loose. If you determine it is a faulty unit I have one for sale I removed last year and it is functional.

    Hi Bill, The 13.8volt bit would seem to indicate that the battery and charging system is AOK. I would probably concur with David and go for high resistance in the +ve sensing or earth connections on the EIS itself. Failing that contact Grand Rapids Avionics in the States. They really know their stuff. Pete PS Have a very happy Xmas.

    It's worth noting that the Sensor is attached internally to the `Power input for the device, there is no separate sensor or earth, so effectively the voltage is that of the Power in to the device and putting a resistor or any other complaint in the circuit will impact he power to the device itself. Pin 9 is the Power input and ground is on pin 13 of the connector. I have a paper copy of the wiring diagram if that helps.
