Posted: Mon Nov 13, 2006 11:12 am Post subject: VM1000C wire

Hi –   

   

Does anyone know what kind of thermocouple wiring the VM1000C uses and where I can get it?  

   

I’m trying to install a VM1000C in my RV-6A.  I cut the wire they provided a little generously and came up short.  I called them and someone named Jack insists that it is “chromo-alumo” wire that I can get anywhere – though he can’t find it in the aircraft spruce catalog or provide part numbers elsewhere or give specifications about its resistance.  JPInstruments has several different kinds.  I’m worried about using a different kind because it might have a different resistance and generate different readings.  On the fourth phone call Jack finally relented and said he could possibly get some out to me – but not until the end of the week even if I send him a fedex label.    

   

Vision Microsystems has provided pretty good support to me up until this point, but this whole interchange has been incredibly frustrating.  It just shouldn’t take 8 phone calls and half a morning to get additional wire.  Got any suggestions?    

   

Thanks,   

   

Parker

For my VM1000 there are two types of thermocouples and two types of wire.  The ones

for my cylinder heads are diferent than the ones for the EGT.  IIRC they were "I"

or "J".

 

http://www.omega.com/prodinfo/ThermocoupleWire.html is one place that I came up 

with just by typing in 'thermocouple wire' to my search bar.........

 

Make sure that you read the threads on the aeroelectric list archives regarding 

connectors/bulkheads etc.

Its going to be either K-type or J-type extension wire.  If its K-type the ANSI color codes are yellow for V+ and red for V-.  If its J-type its going to be white and red respectively.  So just look at the colors of the wire, and get the appropriate extension wire (K or J).  You can get it from McMaster-Carr.

Ralph,



The VM100C is completely different than the VM1000.  The VM1000 uses a DPU

but the VM1000c wires directly to the gauge and uses different sensors.  I

have no idea if the wires are the same or not, but thought I would mention

this.



VM is probably still trying to get up to speed with their move to Texas.  I

plan to fly down there one day very soon so I can get a new oil pressure

transducer.

I knew there were some differences - maybe the wires and transducers are the same...if they're J / K type....



Thanks,

Ralph
