| Subject: | Light speed ignition problem |
Has anyone had a problem with their light speed only reading half the
actual rpm? I cut the plug off so I didnt have to drill a large hole
through my firewall and re-soldered. Everything worked fine for prob
over 100 hours then I got the intermittent problem. I had an
experienced friend solder it for me and it worked for about 20 hours but
is now doing it again. Im probably going to buy a new harness and drill
the big hole. Anyone else have this problem?
Thanks

Based on your careful look at the harness, recommend you assume the
LightSpeed box is bad and send it to Klaus. I had a similar intermittent
Lightspeed LCD readout problem on mine before I removed the units.
I installed 6 Plasma II+ units on 3 RVs. All the supplied wire harnesses
had cold solder joints. I called Klaus and he told me that it was
impossible that his harnesses were the problem. I sent them back to him
anyway and his short reply was "yea, these are bad". I also did a field
repair of 5 of the 6 boxes that had a wrong component on the board. Again
Klaus told me my installation was bad until he actually looked at the box I
sent back. He fixed the one box and sent me the components to repair the
other 5. I didn't even get a thank you for identifying a problem with all
his shipped units, or for fixing the 5 I had for free.
After 450 hours and many more problems with my dual LightSpeed install
(including a totally failed unit in flight) I have removed them and am now
running dual P-Mags. If anyone is interested I will provide the details of
my Lightspeed experience off list.

I'd be suspicious of the pins/sockets. If you are soldering then you are
probably using stamped instead of machined pins/sockets. Get a new D-sub
connector and the matching high quality, crimped <<machined>> pins/sockets.
I forget which one the cable has, just match the gender. You'll need a 4
point crimper but should be able to borrow one. You can always de-pin the
connector if you need to pull the cable through the firewall. The de-pinning
tool is a couple bucks.

I got the same flyer today. I'm betting no one has their insurance
there yet.

What you want for reliability is the MIL-C-24308 series of D-subs that come
with M39029/XX-XXX type contacts. The blue Daniels crimper is M22520/2-01
with the appropriate positioner. Check the Daniels website for
applications.
