How do I connect a dual power source to my standby horizon, it's a TT brand. I'm wanting to use a second battery if possible.

 Thanks,

   What architecture are you using for your electrical system?

Sam:



More detail on the TT standby would help. TT has a battery pack for the ADI that comes with a spify miniature switch with an LED at the end to indicate when it's on battery power. You hook the battery power lead to the bus or busses of your choice. The battery comes with a prewired connector with a power lead for the ADI. You need a ground from both the ADI and the batter connector. ADI source power is controlled from the switch; one position sends ship power to the ADI and the other position sends battery power to the ADI.  Preflight checks are as simple as flipping the switch and checking continued operation. Annual maintenance consists of running the ADI on battery power to ensure it runs for at least 60 minutes. It's well integrated with the ADI but is a bit dear at $100.

Jekyll,



Off subject but:  Do you know if the TT ADI battery is being charged while it is on regular ships power?

Could you add a definition for this dummy? What is a TT?

Bob, 

I think, TT, stands for TrueTrak.
