Hello all.



 I will be using Z-16 with my Jabiru installation.  The Jab Permanat Magnet 

only puts out 20 Amps and I was considering using the Kilovac EV200 since it 

has a low current draw.  I saw some traffic earlier that there was a noise 

problem with the Kilovac.  Has anyone used the EV200 sucessfully.  Are there 

any tricks or technequies for this uint.

As I may be the one who raised the EV200 noise issue, here are some info.

The circuit I designed is based on Z-16 with two batteries and two EV-200.

The he Low Voltage light failed to illuminate when the EV-200 was in 

use. After much head scraching, I concluded that the Low Volage module 

did not like what the EV-200 was throwing at the circuit.

After much head scratching (the Low Voltage module worked flawlessly 

when the main EV-200 was open), I replaced it with a Perihelion model, 

and everything has been working perfectly for nearly two years.



More on the LVW story at http://contrails.free.fr/elec_lvwm_en.php



By the way, the study conducted on the Rotax regulator, and the 

suggestion from my electrician buddy on the sense (C) wire may have led 

to the recent Z-16 update.

    I've heard of several cases where folks have experienced

    system interference from the EV200's duty cycle limited

    coil controller. But before you pop for the $high$ contactor

    to save a 0.7 amps of hold current, what were you planning

    to use that 0.7 amps for?
