 Posted: Tue Aug 01, 2006 3:58 am Post subject: Installation Location of LR3C regulator |
 |
|
Have any of you put the B & C regulator on the back side of the firewall as suggested on the installation sheet? Lancair mounted mine on the front side. They seem to operate just fine no matter where they are. How important to longevity is the location? Comments Bob??? or anyone! Thanks in advance...

I put both my primary and secondary regulators on the 'back' side of the firewall. I added a second rudder pedal support and built a shelf across the two to mount both of them.
It minimizes the length of the wiring runs.
It minimizes through firewall wiring penetrations (to one wire for each regulator).
It places them further aft for CG purposes.
It allows for inspection/replacement without removing the cowl.
Pictures if you want them - contact me directly,

I am planning on mounting my Ford voltage regulator on the engine side of the firewall next to the battery. The regulator is temperature compensating so I felt it should be at the same temperature as the battery. I'm I incorrect?

Yours might be better where you're planning it - for the reasons that you've indicated....
My battery happens to be behind the firewall - in roughly the traditional RV6(A) position. My regulators have a temp compensation option (connects to the battery) but I wasn't planning to use it.
Different configurations .....

Pretty much what I did- original $10 unit from Advance Auto Parts has performed well here for 340 hrs & 2.5 yrs. See:
http://websites.expercraft.com/n51pw/index.php?q=log_entry&log_id=7264
Click on foto for larger view. "Battery box" is .063 angles attached to firewall, .040 side plates and front cover strap which is attached to side plates with hinges. Regulator is bolted to front cover with ground wire to firewall.

EVERY manufacturer would like to have you place THEIR product
in the most benign environment possible. But the bottom line is
that short of bolting the LR3 to an engine or exhaust part,
it will be fine on the forward side of the firewall also.
Of the gazillions of automotive regulators mounted under
the hoods of cars in some of the most stressful environments,
how many manufacturers would stay in business very long if
their particular electro-whizzie was ill-suited to compete?

hi tom,
several months back i asked the same question and got about the same
answer. logic on that one was to keep the capicator forward of the metal
firewall and close to the regulator. atleast they are consistant.
