 Posted: Thu Nov 29, 2007 1:32 pm Post subject: Support for Aux Battery and Subaru engines |
 |
|
Just wanted to post an update that we (Vertical Power) are currently working on support for an additional aux battery and also support for the Subaru engine.
If you are installing a second battery on a single bus system, we can monitor and display the voltage of that battery. Additionally, low voltage alarms can be triggered off that battery.
We've had good demand from customers who are also installing the Eggenfellner Subaru engine (mostly in -7s and -10s) and we are now working on support for that engine. The system will display coolant temp and gearbox temp. There is also a wiring diagram developed specifically for the unique needs of the Subaru engine (found under support/docs on our web site).
You can see a mock up of the Subaru screen here http://www.verticalpower.com/forums/showthread.php?p=727#post727

Michael,
Yes, we are working on a software feature now (the hardware has always supported this) that allows you to display the voltage on a second battery. It's the same display as for the subie but with the standard Lycoming gauges. The aux battery feature is independent of the engine type, really. There are two pins on the VP-200 Control Unit that can be used to measure voltage of external things - in your case the aux battery.
There is a document called "Dual Lightspeed - How to wire a dual Lightspeed ignition" in the docs section of our web site here: http://www.verticalpower.com/documents.html. It shows how to connect the dual LSE to the mag switch, wire the two batteries and wire the aux battery volt meter. It's basically identical to diagram in the LSE manual, and shows how to include the VP-200.
How's the new shop? I hope it has a heater..
