Bob:

  

 I'm in a bit of a quandry regarding wiring my Hobbs  Meter, Oil Pressure Switch and Low Oil Pressure Warning light !!  I've  printed out the Drawings from B & C and found one of your drawings regarding  this wiring, however, before I went to order my transducer from B&C, I  checked with Advanced Flight Systems to make sure that B&C's Oil  Pressure transducer would work with the AFS 4500 EFIS / Engine monitor.......the  answer was NO....I had to purchase theirs.

  

 They told me that their transducer had a single  terminal (for their signal wire) that connects to their wiring harness: NOT a 3  terminal arrangement (S-I-P) configuration like B&C's....

  

 SO, can you give me some suggestions on how I can  wire my Hour Meter, Oil Pressure Warning Light given that there is only 1  terminal ??

  

 Any help or suggestions appreciated.

  

 Henry

Henry,



I'm not Bob, I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn express last night - but here's what I did...



I purchased a manifold that allows me to connect two senders and an oil pressure hose all together....one of the senders was for the AFS 3400 EM, the other sender is for the B&C dual-throw switch unit that allows for my Oil pressure idiot light and my hobbs meter (through a relay that starts my engine timer and the hobbs at the same time).  I've had my engine running so I know it works correctly.

Ralph:



What type of manifold and where did you purchase it.....Area you talking

about the Manifold, I think it's the VA-168 that Van's sells?  I already

have this installed on my firewall.....

That sounds like the item...has three stubs on it, each with holes drilled on three sides.



I had to put a spacer between the firewall and the manifold in order for all of the senders to fit.



I have some pictures I'll send you......
