Bob,

 I have a Z12 system and want to convert to a Z14.  Can I use my  B&C SB-1 Alternator Controller instead of springing for a new LR-3 for my SB  20 amp B&C?  If so, what do I do with the hall effect sensor and leads  1 and 2 of the controller?  (I want the dual battery and bus isolation  advantage despite the weight increas and complexity.)

  

 Don

   Yes, just re-adjust it for 14.4 instead of 13.5

   If they're installed and hooked up, leave them as

   is. The SB-1 doesn't have LV warning so you'll want

   to add that to the aux system as a separate accessory.

   Have you had an experience that prompts you to make

   this change? Recall that hundreds and perhaps thousands

   of expensive GA aircraft are boring holes in lots of

   clouds with Z12 installed . . . and even if Z12 were

   NOT installed, they'd still be poking holes.



   Are you planning on having independent, IFR capable

   instrumentation installed on both pilot locations? That

   was the original idea behind Z-14.



   If not, what single failure of installed equipment

   prompts you to believe that Z14 is more likely to

   get you on the ground than Z12?
