Hi All,
My GR EIS has the optional Hall Effect sensor that can be installed in one of two locations and I'm after your advice about which would be best on my Jab Z-20 installation. My firewall on the engine side is as per Z-20.
The two options are either to monitor battery current (via the + cable) or Alternator output. If I monitor the battery then if the indication goes negative I'll know that my alternator has gone awol and I have limited battery power to get back on the ground (this is only a day/vfr machine). Would this be the best option as I can also keep a track on battery charging?
What choice have any users of the EIS made on this sensor?
As the Jab has a PM alternator, does this influence anything here?
Many thanks in advance.
Ian
