Hi Wolfgang,

 

My problem is that the VM1000 from Visionmicrosystems is a complete = engine Monitoring unit that does not get serviced = anymore.

 

All my wiring to/from the unit (inside the cabin) to the sensors = (outside the cabin) is sealed in for the pressurization. =

 

My amp portion of the system is not working correctly. I would need = to buy a different engine monitoring system from a different = manufacturer. But the newer systems use different wires for EGT, CHT, = TIT – this would then require to change my wiring to the sensors = (which would be a pretty big project: removing the panel, pull new = wires, seal the cabin again)

What does a = thermocouple have to do with an amp sensor = ?

 Dear =
subscribers,
 
After 3 years =
of work N40941 flew again.
 
Charlie =
Kohler helped me with the inspection and he also did the =
first
flight. It =
was an overall great experience with him and we will also =
do
more training together =
.
 
The plenum =
idea and the engine sealing instructions from Fred =
Moreno
work very =
well. The engine runs very cool.
 
There is one =
problem that I cannot fix:
 
When I =
rewired the airplane I decided to keep the VM1000 =
from
Microvisionsystems (I wanted to save money - big =
mistake!) Most of my
sensors and =
wires are new now. My Amp sensor dies repeatedly after a =
few
hours of =
operation. 
 
It turns out =
that processor unit puts out too much voltage to the =
sensor
and kills it. =
Microvisionsystems (JPI) cannot fix the unit and =
cannot
sell me =
another one (dead product).
 
I am a little =
reluctant to put a complete new monitoring system =
in
because it would require to rewire everything =
(obviously the new systems
don't use the =
j-type thermocouple wire anymore). 
 
My question: =
do you know anybody that upgraded to a new =
engine
monitoring =
system and would sell me the old VM1000 processor =
unit?
 
Thanks for =
your help
