FWIW this is not a concern with an EIS4000 monitor.  It seems to turn on 

almost instantly. So fast that I don't even know whether mine reboots 

when I crank the engine.



I've never bought into the argument that one needs to see oil pressure 

instantly. It takes a few seconds to come up and if it isn't there you 

are going to wait a few more seconds. Then you are going to think about 

it and most of the time likely restart the engine anyway. If oil 

pressure is the main concern, I'd be more inclined to add manual or 

electric pre-oiler capability rather than an extra EFIS power supply.



Yes, unlike what we see in a vehicle, solid state devices connected to 

the electric grid tend to be susceptible to high voltage spikes from a 

nearby lightning hit on the wires.

 Thanks Bob,



 I like the idea that my EFIS won't reboot during engine start - cos I want

 to see the oil pressure right about then.



 Either way, I'm a newbie to this forum and feel very fortunate to have such

 experienced and articulate guys to help numpties like me steer a true

 course.



 I assume then that OV is the reason confusers (computers) are susceptible to

 lightning activity without a 'surge' protector?



 Kind regards, Stu

Copied.  I guestimate that my Dynon D700s take about 10-15 seconds to boot.

I'll also be powering COM # 2 from the IBBS during start, so I have a means

to call TWR/RFF if I see flames from the engine bay!



Cheers, Stu
