 	  Quote: 	
		  Slightly off topic, but I notice a Hall Effect sensor (S5) that 

appears to be on the forward side of the firewall. I am installing 

an AFS 3500 with a Hall Effect sensor and two alternators ala 

Z-13/8. I would like to keep all of the alternator and regulator 

stuff firewall forward but the EMS wants the Hall sensor on the 

cabin side. Is there any problem with the Hall sensor living on the firewall?


	


   The hall-sensor is an electronic device with

   some temperature effects for both calibration

   and upper limits for operating temperatures.



   The automotive industry has been running

   these critters under the hood for years.

   I can't speak to the science for EMS

   recommendations. I suspect the real risks

   to satisfactory performance are insignificant.

I have a dual LSE ignition with two hall effect sensors mounted right on

the engine. They even have LED lights on them. Can't get more forward

than that. I'm installing the AF 3500 too, so guess where theirs will be

going? I also have 13/8 with a second battery added to help make things

more confusing.



Just so we don't damage anything perhaps we can find out the upper limit

for operating temperatures on that sensor. If you are really worried but

really need to mount it on the firewall because of space or whatever you

could find a shroud for it and run a cold air scat tube to it.
