This sensor can be used to measure DC currents in aircraft power systems in a wide range from less than 4A to as high as 120A depending on installation and configuration. The sensor connects to an EFIS system via spare RDAC inputs. Inputs CHT1,CHT2,oil pressure or oil temperature can be used and these can also be used on a second RDAC unit (consider a low cost RDAC VD as second RDAC if required). G1 and G2 EFIS systems can support up to 4 of these sensors while Enigma can support 2. These sensors can measure currents bi-directional, for example battery charge/discharge. The major advantage of these sensors is that they can be fitted to existing conductors very easily without a need to break the conductor or require the use current shunts. |
Never got the chance to see how or if this thing works because after 3 weeks I still am waiting on the RDAC backorder to make all this crap work!

Amazing to say the least. Arrived in 4 days in perfect order. Still very upset about previous order that went missing over a month ago. No answer
First one I got was DOA, but customer service got me in touch with the vendor and they helped me troubleshoot and then sent a replacement. Replacement installed and working now. Easy to install and easy to calibrate.
