HI ;



I have a question, for those with Grand rapid,  EIS monitor...only.



When checking the mags, for preflight...I am receiving a -0- indication., when

turning key to L-Or Right mag..

Any ideas as to why this is happening?    Yes I turn the small switch

to  Left Mag.

(In my case is in the up Position)   then I turn the key on the

Ignition switch to L.



then down  to the R mag., and the key to R-Mag... in both instances, I

get a Zero

..Engine runs  OK on both...



I have checked connection on Ignition switch,  it seems all are tight etc..

Any suggestions, as to the next step?

Bert

uh, yeah, per their instructions the eis can only read the tach timing input from one source so if you are trying to read both mags (but only one at a time) you'll need to run both mags timing inputs to a single switch that allows you to switch between L and R mag.  Got my switch at Radio Shack.

  

 so when doing my mag check, i first select which mag's timing signal gets sent to the EIS via the radio shack switch then turn the Starter switch to operate off just that mag. When done with the first mag check then move the eis input switch to the other mag then repeat the single mag selection with the starter switch.

       If you haves the EIS Unit, you know that it came with the

prewire, Switch, with resistors, for each mag, and one wire (yellow) that

goes to the EIS Unit....Was curious to hear you say, you bought a switch

atRadio Shack...



       Yes I have done everything as, call for....still I get a zero

reading, and rogh engine, on either Mag...



Any ideas...

Nope.  I just followed the drawing/instructions on this one but mine didn't come with a switch. Throw yours away then and get a different one that works.  



I don't have my install directions here but go back and double check you wired up your starter switch correctly.  I seem to recall that was a place one could screw up hooking up the EIS wiring to and then double check that the wires have continuity through the EIS mag selector switch itself.  Finally make sure you didn't mix up the EIS mag switch resistors with some meant for fuel gauges or some other component.
