 |

I opted for the Dynon because it seemed to provide the ideal method
for displaying all the required parameters in a small area, but with aural
and visual warnings to draw attention to any irregularities.
However, when I come to attach sensors and mate them to the unit, I
run into all sorts of anomalies. Maybe it's me. For one thing, I bristle at
the use of "support" (a computer term supposedly meaning it complies with
the sensor's needs). The unit is forever 'supporting' one device or another
without actually telling me what it's reading. The measurement or
sensitivity to current, voltage or resistance is a difficult thing to divine
from the text.
If you have some insight into what the manual is saying, I'd be
excited to know what it is. For instance, the column which purports to
provide a sensor for Manifold pressure for the Rotax suddenly only
"supports" the 912 but the package it comes in says "Engine - Lycoming", and
does not say where the device is attached to the engine. Am I to presume I
stick it to the tube between the carbs, and how do I do this? On another
tack, instead of just attaching a wire to the Cylinder heads per the Rotax
manual, one must first duplicate a single 5v power wire for two/three or
more devices, and then proceed to attach applicable sensors.
I understand several of the service agencies which sell Rotax over
this side are playing with the same EMS-D10 but are not saying much about
it.
This is just a suggestion that:
[a] one question the sales force fairly specifically as to what
'support' means for each sensor need - per your particular engine and,
[b] if you have successfully overcome these small plateaux, please let
me know
how................... I beg you.
Happy landings
