(maurice murillo) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 06:41:28 AM PST US Subject: RV-List: Dynon D10A/EDC in and RV-9A - weird behaviour From: Ian Has anyone else suffered or resolved the following issue with a Dynon D10A EFIS with the optional EDC installed in their RV? I get "signal too weak to calibrate" messages or something to that effect, indicating that the voltage from the EDC is too low. I'm sure I'm going to have to replace the wiring, but wanted to check what others had done. I believe my error was in not using shielded wire, but maybe there's a voltage drop on such a long wire run. For those who have an install that works, what wire did you use? I have the EDC mounted on the bulkhead one full space forward of the horizontal stabilizer. I DO see constantly updating numbers, as I'm supposed to, when I go into the EDC calibration program. The reason I'm asking this on this list, rather than with Dynon, is that I'm looking for aircraft specific info, since it's quite a long wire run. Any other ideas or experience would be appreciated.

Thanks, > > Ian Brown > Bromont > Quebec > Ian, Can't help with your specific problem but I can tell you that I am using CAT5 network cable (non-shielded) for the Dynon magnetometer under the tail of my RV-6. My installation has worked perfectly for several years. Shielded cable is not necessary for proper operation of the mag. You might take a good look at the connectors in your harness to make sure there isn't a high-resistance fault in a crimp or solder connection.

I would recommend that you call Dynon's tech support. They are excellent and their service is second to none. Your installation is not at all uncommon and they would be able to provide you with any aircraft specific information that you require. If you are determined to try to do this with help from a list then I would recommend the Aero-Electric list as a much more specific list for this sort of problem. I once fried my D10 doing something really stupid that I should have known better (always use a grounded tip soldering iron) and when I called Dynon and told them what I did, they said no problem. I had to pay 1-way shipping and they fixed it free and paid the return shipping. It was out of my plane for little more than a week. That's good service.
