 |
|
List members,
Every month or two, I get a product promotion or discount offer from a company I bought
a wide-band Oxygen sensor from. I'm already familiar with them and they make good stuff!
The company is called PLX Devices, and they make incredible high quality products, gages,
etc, mostly for the auto industry.
Since batteries are frequently a hot topic on this list, especially lithium batteries, I thought
I'd share this.
I got an ad today on their 'not yet built' smart portable battery charger'. This would be handy
for those tech guys that have, iPhone, iPods, iPads, Laptops, GPS's, or frankly pretty much
anything that needs to be charged. This might be a life-saver power source for some pilots
needing a high capacity "smart" charging station.
I don't get any kickbacks from them people, I just thought there might be some pilots on this list
that would be interested in the product. You might notice all the features, watch the video for
more into. I think it would seem to be handy for some folks.

I can attest to the high quality, simple operation of the PLX's Air Fuel Ratio Meter. Probably the simplest, no-brainer way to tune EFI. I installed a Simple Digital Systems EFI on a Franklin 6 cylinder and set it up using the PLX device. Amounted to putting a temporary O2 sensor in the 3 into 1 collector on one cylinder bank and connecting to the PLX device (velcroed to my panel) and gauge. Start the engine and your real-time air fuel ratio is displayed. Change the mixture (fuel value) on the EFI and watch the gauge reflect the change. Set it up for 12.5 to 1 max power at 250 RPM increments in the useable RPM range. Took about 15 minutes to map the 5 point rpm fuel curve.
When I was done, I had the feeling that it couldn't be that simple.
It was.
The gauge is nice looking with it's digital display and progressive LED "needle", but once the AFR is set there's no need for gauge so it can be removed.
I would bet the PLX battery charger is equally well designed and built.
