To: lancair.list@olsusa.com Subject: VMS flow transducer, startup problem. X-Mailing-List: lancair.list@olsusa.com Reply-To: lancair.list@olsusa.com Mime-Version: 1.0 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<--->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> << Lancair Builders' Mail List >> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<--->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >> My Vision Micro system reboots when it sees the voltage drop of the starter. I tried installing a diode and a big capacitor but it did not prevent the problem. Has anyone tried a small 12v battery with a diode? This might work but would require an extra switch to shut the system off. My flow transducer is mounted on the firewall between the mechanical fuel pump and the fuel controller. It has worked well for 200 hours, but I have found that the long term average fuel use measured by the VMS system is about 6% higher than actual fuel used.
