Folks,
I am installing a Dynon heated pitot tube. The controller has a pin which gets grounded if the heater is turned on and fails. This is supposed to drive a warning lamp. See "pitot heat warn" on the attached diagram. 
I want to replace the pitot heat warn lamp with an indicator on my MGL EFIS. The EFIS has eight analog inputs (see A1 through A8 on page 6 of the attached iBOX V1 installation manual) and also has four balanced analog inputs (see 1+,1- through 4+,4-) on page 7.
This would be easy for me if INST-4-G from the Dynon controller was either grounded or at some positive voltage. But if I understand correctly, that wire is either grounded or open. How do I hook this to my EFIS?
Thanks, 
    -- Art Z.

Connect a pull-up resistor, perhaps 1K Ω or more, between a positive source and the Dynon alarm wire.

Joe,
What do I connect to the EFIS?

I would try it without the pull-up resistor first. It might not be needed.

How would you do that if the reference is ground?
