Bob is putting together a kit for the over-voltage protection module and

had a question that I thought I would direct to all of you.



The module has two status lamps, one for low-voltage, one for

over-voltage trip, and a test/reset button. Would those of you who are

interested in this module please let me know if you would like the kit

to include a labeled placard along with the bulb holders, bulbs, and the

push-to-test/reset button.



I have attached a PDF of what the placard would look like.



BTW, the largest part is the relay. The actual circuit module is only

about twice the size of the DB-9 connector used for all the wiring. (A

DB-9 connector is the type used on PC serial ports in case you are

wondering how big that is.)



I still need to find a CJ6A with a stock generator here in central

California to use as a test bed. The wiring changes are very small, just

get power from the bus and break the field wire somewhere to insert the

relay. If you don't want to keep the module for some reason it would

only require one splice to put everything back the way it was.



BTW, Bob will not release the kit until it has been flight-tested. He

doesn't believe in "vaporware" products that promise and then don't deliver.

Hi Brian;



Great progress. I hope you can find someone in your area to with a stock 

generator control CJ to help out with the testing.

Am I correct in  assuming the indicator panel is separate from the actual 

unit? If so I would personally not require that since I have a stock of MS 

style PTT warning lights, switches and facilities for placard manufacture. 

All I would need is instructions to hook it all up.



If you can give exact dimensions for the placard I will make some for you at 

no charge. These would be made from 1/32" or .020" engraving plastic and I 

will install attaching adhesive tape.



Cheers;

Walt

Here's hoping. There are a couple around I haven't approached directly yet.

Yes. The module itself is smaller than 1" square. The relay, its socket,

and associated parts, are only slightly larger than that.

No problem.

Well, Bob is kitting up the whole thing so it comes with all parts and

instructions. He is aware that the CJ6A already has a low-voltage

indicator (the red "generator" light) but he also plans to use this

module for other aircraft. You probably ought to make your offer

directly to Bob ("nuckollsr at cox dot net").



So I do need a good idea as to the desirability of the "control panel".
