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

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.
