1.12 VOLTAGE SENSE WIRE INST.
The voltage sense wire can be connected to monitor the main bus, the
avionics bus, or any other point for voltage measurement, as long as
the voltage does not exceed +36 VDC. See ‘APPENDIX B: DPU P1
Connector Harness Fabrication’.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
DO NOT: connect the wire to an unprotected source. It must
have an in-line fuse or be connected to the output side of a
breaker.
1.13 AMP TRANSDUCER INST.
The transducer is preferably mounted in the cabin area. If this is not
possible, then it should be protected from high heat sources and
possible contamination from fluids. Route the wire which originates from
the alternator output (usually marked 'BAT') INTO the circuit board side
and OUT the sensor (round black device) side. See ‘FIGURE 8: Amps
Transducer Orientation’. If properly installed, the AMPS readout will
increase as more electrical loads are turned on and the alternator is
active. Shielded alternator wire is OK.
Connect to the DPU harness as shown in ‘APPENDIX B: DPU P1
Connector Harness Fabrication’ using the supplied terminals.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
DO NOT: Mount transducer in the engine compartment without
protection from heat and/or fluids.
DO NOT: solder onto terminal lugs of the transducer.
