I have been using the Plane Power alternator on all of my builds for the last 15 years or so. I have never bothered to hook up the wire for the "inop light". I have always relied on a voltage alarm instead. On my new aircraft I ran the wire from the alt plug to a discrete input for the G3X. I configured the discrete for "active low" and labeled it "Alt Inop". The plane power wiring diagram shows a light between the buss (12v+) and the white wire from the alt plug (assuming - or ground when alt is off or failed).
The problem is the alternator is charging 14.4v but the discrete remains active and the Alt inop annunciation is showing.
Anybody else see this?
