Default RV-12 Wiring Diagrams Now Available!

RV-12 Wiring Diagrams Now Available!

Today Van?s posted two complete wiring diagrams for the RV-12, along with links to (free!) software that will display them. Once RV-12 builders download the software and drawings, they will have the complete RV-12 wiring schematic at their fingertips. Part numbers for individual plugs and harnesses, wire colors and wires sizes and pin-outs are clearly shown.

Using the full-color web makes it possible to take advantage of search and zoom features. Drawings are accessible from a computer, iPad, iPhone, Android devices, etc. No matter where you are - at home, in your shop, or fifty miles away in a hangar, the information is available.

To access the diagrams, visit the Download Page and scroll to the bottom. Be sure to READ the entire Electrical Schematic Instructions.

We are looking forward to using this new tool that literally puts us on the same page with builders. It will become even more useful in the future, as we are incorporating this ability directly into upcoming models.

The diagrams should be very useful, and the "upcoming models" comment at the end sounds interesting. Must be the RV-14. Maybe others as well?

Default Thanks Van's.

The timing of this schematic is perfect for me. Answers many questions.

I tried to load this on my iPad using good reader after loading autocad with no success. Any suggestions?

Slane,

I tried that too..didn't work. You have to first upload it from your desktop to the Autocad "cloud", then it magically pops up on the iPad. Pretty neat!

Another way to view the drawing is to download a copy of DraftSight, a free 2D CAD program. It's here:

http://www.3ds.com/products/draftsig...ad-draftsight/

Then all you need is to download the appropriate .DWG file from Van's and you're in business.

Default Opening in iPad

This was a problem for me as well.

The following did work.

Opened the zipped file in GoodReader. GoodReader is a free app.

Unzipped the file in GoodReader.

Went to Manage Files in GoodReader.

Selected the unZipped file and pressed the Open In button - AutoCadWS appeared as a choice. (all within Manage File of GoodReader).

The above worked. Mailing the unzipped file to myself did not work.

Hope this helps.

-Dave

Nice, but, does not help the original RV-12 / D-180 group much. Also the interface module and the switch panel still appears to be TOP SECRET! Unless I am missing something.

Dave your method did work thank you very much. Can you load it on the iPad and open it without Internet? The PDF files that I load onto the iPad are available to me and I wonder if this one can be available in a similar fashion?
