SDS CPI2

[rv6ejguy]

After 18 months of 60 hour weeks, we'll finally start shipping CPI-2s next week.

There is a large back order list for these and the first production run is all sold out. We'll be shipping to those folks on this list first. A second production run is planned for May and we hope to start shipping from that run in early June.

Both 4 and 6 cylinder models are available.

I uploaded the installation and tuning manual this morning to the CPI-2 Page: http://www.sdsefi.com/cpi2.htm (near the bottom of the page).

Thanks for everyone's patience. This project took WAY longer than anticipated.

Ross - congratulations on getting this product to the "now shipping" stage.
I know I'm not the only one who has faith in SDS products because you won't ship a product that's not ready. Better slow to market but bullet-proof than quick to market and riddled with bugs.

Congrats on getting these to market

Now time for a breather, then on to the EM6??

Thanks. It's the most tested product we've ever built and we're excited to get going on the production aspect. We've reorganized the shop with new benches, binning and shelving to speed up the process.

We'll get geared up better after the first few and try to improve the production rates to get people supplied as soon as possible.

There never seems to be a breather around here but yes, we'll be able to get a lot more work done on the EM-6 now for hopeful release in 2020.

Really looking forward to seeing the CPI-2 system in action on my plane. While I have read through the installation manual, it would be helpful if you could include more detailed wiring diagrams showing the various recommended options of switches and fuses and/or circuit breakers. I am seeing options with and without the key switch, perhaps a need for a kill switch, and of course power switches and fuses/circuit breakers, for the main power source, the backup power source, and the "low current" mainbus source. And double those for the dual system (which I have on order).

Thanks in advance.

I'll give these suggestions to Barry to try to clarify these aspects a bit more although there isn't much outside of grounds and powers to hook up. Breaker or fuse those power wires. Is there something specific you find unclear?
We welcome feedback.

Sometimes people standing outside the project that we've been immersed in for months, see things that are obvious to us but not everyone else.

I believe Barry is adding some more text and clarifications this weekend so you can look for an updated version early next week. There are always improvements that can be made.

Ross - I think what would help most would be some (partial) circuit diagrams showing options or suggestions for wiring the various switches & breakers to the unit.

Here's a great example from https://flyleds.com/products/#!/WigW...155/category=0



This is one of several options depicted on that page.

Thanks, and looking forward to getting my CPI2 soon!

[rv6ejguy]

Agreed. Something like this would makes things more clear. Thanks.

We'll try to work something like this into the manual over the next week.

Ross,
I have just started working on the wiring on my EM-5. There are pinouts for the computer connectors, which in my case, you wired up for me. I can't find anything on the MAP, TPS, and a couple of others. I did see you wrote some info on the plastic bags the connectors came in.

I figured out the MAF already, and I am sure I will figure out the rest. Pinouts for a few of the sensor connectors would make things a bit quicker as well.

Awesome quality of everything in the kit. It might be the most professionally done and quality aftermarket product I have ever bought. Absolutely beautiful.
