My HXr shows a 13 amp draw, what does yours show?

My current sensor is installed between the master solenoid and the main buss.

Other than the electric trim no other device is drawing power.

I would speculate that you may have your digits one place off in the EIS. I think it's going to be drawing about 1.5-2.0 amps. I have a 7.5A fuse in mine and I think it's probably overkill..

Thes are from the install manual..

The display units include internal thermally-activated fuses. This protects the equipment from
internal electrical faults. Power supplied to the EFIS must pass through an external fuse or circuit
breaker. It should be sized to allow at least 2 amps per display unit, with a maximum rating of 5
amps.

"The display units consume approximately 1 amp,
making even a small 3 Amp-Hour gel cell a suitable emergency source."

Katie or Ben will chime in here, but I know it wont be drawing 13 amps.

Is there a decimal between the 1 and the 3?

Yes that would seem logical, however, when i turn on the halogen landing light the amp reading jumps by 10 amps which seems right.

I did use the suggested GRT AuxSF (164) and AuxOff ( 313 ) settings. Anybody using different settings ?

Your's are close to mine. 170/313.

Hmmmmm

Sounds off by an order of magnitude.

This implies that you have a 15A fuse or breaker on the HXr. Is this true?

If it is less than 10 then check the AMP settings in the SET MENU area.
Is it INTEGER or DECIMAL?
Change to the other and take a look and see if values seem right.

I have seen some master contactors draw 3 amps to be closed.

What wattage bulbs do you have in the lights?

If you pull the fuse to the HXr what do you get?


Just some things to consider.

AHARS, EIS and HXr fuses are 3 amp

Will check

Amp sensor is after the Master Solenoid

What wattage bulbs do you have in the lights?

100 watts

Will check
