| Subject: | Lightspeed Ignition Module |
Completing the firewall forward on a RV-8A O-360 4 cyl. I have one mag
and one Lightspeed Plasma III. I am locating the Ignition Module would
like some feedback on experiences from others. My concern is ignition
noise in radios and interference with sensor wires. Mounting on the
cold side of the firewall is difficult due to space unless I mount the
module right behind the panel causing potential interference. Has anyone
experienced noise or sensor interference problems and what did you do to
solve them? Has anyone mounted the module on the hot side of the
firewall? How did you protect against heat and moisture? Any problems
with a hot side installation?
Also the instructions has the power go straight from the battery or
battery side of the master relay to a "pull-able" circuit breaker and
allows the unit to be turned on and off with a standard mag p-lead type
connection.
"all Plasma II Plus and Plasma III CDI systems can be operated with a
standard aircraft key switch. A "P"-Lead (wired to the output
connector) is provided and should be connected to the key switch in the
same way as the magneto "P"-Lead. There is no current drain on your
battery when power is supplied via the input connector and the key
switch is in the off position. A pull-able circuit breaker should still
be installed in the positive power wire."
Even though it states there is no power draw you still have a
unprotected wire from the battery to the panel breaker that is hot 24/7
and unless you pull the breaker, the wire is hot all the way to the
module even when parked. This just does not seem reasonable. I would
like to know what others have done.
Thanks, Roger Smart
