To all



I purchased a VM1000C at Sun and Fun last year and have installed it into my 

RV8 which I hope to be flying soon.  Everything worked except the fuel level 

area which remained dark. I called Vision Micro and was told to do a few 

different tests.  None made any changes.  So they said to send it back, 

which I did and they received Nov. 25.  I just called them and they still 

have not touch it and said it would be another month to get it on the bench 

because they are working on a new software update. I guess if my plane was 

flying I'd be waiting on them to enjoy my work.

So to all that might be looking a purchasing an engine monitor, all I can 

say is stay away from VISION MICRO and anybody that is involved with them. 

Now I'm sorry I just didn't put in a couple a steam guages.

Anybody else had a problem with them?

Yes!  I have an original VM1000 and the oil transducer is no good.  I have

done everything to get it replaced so far with no luck.  I just got off the

phone with Auto and was told the same thing.  They have no test bench yet to

check it.  I requested that in order to maintain a good customer support

with me they needed to just replace it and check it out later.  He agreed to

try to do that.  The action is yet to be seen.



I would not buy a VM anything at this point.  There are sooooo many good

options out there and I was particularly impressed with Electronics

International at the Bend, Oregon airport.  They took me in and gave me a

tour and showed me how all there stuff works knowing I already had a VM1000

and obviously weren't going to change it.  Their stuff is awesome and the

customer orientation is great.  Maybe I need to build a -10 so I can have

the EI stuff.

Well I guess I'm in the minority on this one.



I had a few "growing pains" getting my VM1000 up and running, but the folks 

at Vision Microsystems were excellent in helping me find the answers or 

provide the fix. I had an oil pressure problem that ended up being a cold 

solder joint. With their help I was able to trouble shoot it and make it 

right.  I also had a fuel flow transducer issue that ended up being the 

wrong one for my engine/fuel system. That was my screw up when I ordered it, 

not theirs, but they quickly made it right.



If I were to become a "repeat offender" and build another RV, I would not 

hesitate to go with VM again. It has worked flawlessly after resolving the 

initial problems mentioned.



Just my two cents worth.

Paul, 

Have you calibrated the fuel level system?  You have to do a few things to

get it set up.  First, you have to set the range limits.  That tells the

system if you have one tank or two.  (Almost everyone has two, but that's

the way it works).  From there, you set the max fuel per tank.  Then you

have to calibrate the senders by adding fuel.  



Let me know off-list if you are still having trouble

I suspect this was before the change in ownership.  Things have changed, and

maybe they will get sorted out again.  Lets hope.
