Just installed and wired the Gemini PFD including the Pitot & Static connections. I hooked up the GPS 296 output to the PFD and according to the 296 manual I can use both GPS outputs (Comm ports 1 & 2). My other comm port drives the Navaid AP-1 autopilot and I also have a stand alone Trio EZ-1 altitude hold. Both of these are working perfectly.
Here's my questions:
- Will the 296 have any trouble driving two devices from the two comm ports simultaneously?
- I wired the dimmer control (no internal controls) to the cockpit lighting but at anything other than off or full bright cockpit lighting, the PFD will flicker. Do I need a separate dimmer control or a proprietary control from Trutrak?
I sent Trutrak an e-mail as well but it's always good to check on the forum because someone has probably already done this.
Thanks,
Oly
