Instrument panel first switch on

Posted by

An exciting moment.

The G3x immediately found (over the CAN bus) the magnetometer (GNU11) and audio panel. I initially had problems recognising the transponder. Made a software update G3x V6.0 now. Then reinstalled the config file. Then it worked fine.

Flaps, inside lights, boost pump. G5 all work fine.

I have never used a G3x, so I spent some time getting to know the panel and adjusting the infinite number of settings! The G3x is an awesome piece of equipment.

Found couple of errors in the wiring harness.

  1. The lane B LED and Lane B switch were wrong way around. Easily fixed by re pinning the CPC connector.
  2. The wiring of the IBBS 1 and 2 battery volts monitors were not made in correct locations. Rewired D connectors to set GP3 and GP4 on the GEA24 for IBBS volts.
  3. I had to remake four loose crimp connectors at the relays.

Found a loose engine sensor probe which was giving an error on the G3x.

All systems seem to be working fine now. (no engine start done yet) but only error is the magnetometer calibration not done.
