I think I see what you are also trying to say. You will go into setup and tell
it which source you want? I don't think we can display 2 sources at the same
time, can we? Have not looked. And if you switch off the LSI as in a mag check,
with LSI selected in setup, will you get any RPM reading?
While I loose some redundancy and a backup option, I went with what I think is
a simpler solution and just went with the single source.
If I lost RPM's at run-up, it would be back to the hanger, but I have flown the
plane enough now that if I lost it on TO or enroute, I know I would be able to
land uneventfully.

Yes, I added the wire to that pin... that was the easy part.... then AFS to
ld me I needed to install a 10k ohm resistor in series, and run a leg to gr
ound. did that. still nothing.
So apparently all you did was run the wire from LS #6 to AFS 33?
Sure wish it had been that easy for me.

Even though AFS has a provision electronic ignition tach, the harness that
come with the AFS does NOT include a pin or wire for for it.- You have to
add this additional wire if you want RPM indication from the electronic ig
nition on the AFS.- Did you add this additional wire from the LS input co
nnector pin 6 to the AFS EM harness pin 33?

Have the same configuration Lightspeed on the left and magneto on the right

Sorry Jim, I forgot to sign my email.... it was me who had the questions on
the LSE/AFS tach hook up.- Where are you located?

Michael,
I will swing by the hanger today and give you more details.

Hi there,
I was wondering if you did connect the AFS RPM sensor on the magnet or the
LS ignition, or is it even possible to wire both and choose via software
where the signal comes from.
Thanks

You should only connect 1 RPM input (MAG or Electronic) If you have one
mag and one electronic you should use only the MAG input. As long as the mag
is still turning you will get displayed RPM even when it is off.
You need to disconnect pin 33 or it will not work properly.

I was hoping the software would allow me to alternatively select. Since I
want this option in the future, I will install an in-line switch to to pin
33 for now.

You do not want or need a switch. If later on you decide to add a 6
Cylinder PMAG you will need to disconnect the RPM sensor and then you will
connect the Electronic input to only the PMAG, and yes the PMAG will drive the
RPM display even when it is off for your light speed side. We do not want a
wire connected to Pin 33 and floating at the switch acting like a big
antenna, you will get noise on your RPM display if you do this.
In my airplanes I have the following:
RV-4
1 Slick Mag
1 PMAG
The RPM input is tied from the PMAG to the Electronic RPM input Pin 33
RV-10
1 Slick Mag
1 LightSpeed
The RPM input is tied from our RPM sensor in the Mag to RPM input Pin 32
In both cases the RPM display works perfect on RIGHT / LEFT / and BOTH
Call me on my cell if you need further assistance.
