 |
|
I am trying to figure out if Auto Trim works with Safety Trim (I assume
so).
If so, how is the trim switch and trim motor wired in? That is, is the
Auto Trim module connected on the switch side or the motor side of the
Safety Trim module.
This is clearly a question for the 2 vendors but it's the weekend and
was hoping someone may know the answers.

May not help, but if you go to the Trio web site you can find (I think it's in the Pro Pilot manual) how they recommend hooking up auto trim.
Something to keep in mind: should you have a trim runaway you'll need to pull both the trim and autopilot power, then sort out which one is the problem. For this reason, I've placed pullable breakers for them side by side, right in front of the pilot.
But a plus, if the trim switch sticks on, you can pull the trim power, and still have trim via the autopilot.

The trutrak auto trim should work fine with the TCW Saftey trim. The
auto trim is wired in right at the pitch servo.
