 Posted: Thu Feb 25, 2010 5:49 am Post subject: ECU for NSI propeller |
 |
|
Bonjour à tous,
I have been very happy with my CAP NSI propeller during 1100h used with a simple hand operated changing pitch system. Unfortunatelly , the Electronic Control Unit has just failed:
The way to the fine position woks fine , as well as red light and beeper at the course end .
The way to coarse position is in flaw . I tested motor hub from the brush hoder separatly from ECU : mecanism works well
Then tested the ECU out put voltage ( brush holder not connected) and verified 12v on one way and -12v on the other . During that test I heared closing noise of the 3 electromecanical relays.
So separatly two parts of the global system work well
When every thing is reconnected , the only way working is to fine position.
I suppose the electronic card is defective. Having no electrical drawing of that card I cannot invastigate more away
Is there some body from the Europa community having had such a problem or more simply ideas to help me?
Thank you
Jean-Philippe Neel

It may be that the blades are "sticking" when moving in the coarse
direction. More current is taken and the ECM "recognises" this a pitch
stop so giving the red light and sound warning. I've had this a few
times and is resolved by dismantling the hub, cleaning and regreasing.
If you need any CAP 140 bits, Maxwell Propulsion took over NSI's
stock: http://www.maxwellpropulsion.com/, look under inventory
reduction sale.
If you need a copy of the CAP 140 manual let me know and I'll send you
a photocopy.
Cheers

Hey Jean-Philippe - I have a spare NSI CAP140 ecu controller I have'nt used for years.
It was working fine when I removed it. If you can't resolve the issue I could send it to you for just shipping charges from the USA.
