Finally have my EDC-10A remote compass installed and wired. After calibration on the compass rose last night, the display warned that the calibration was extremely unreliable (or something to that effect). Did it one more time with the same result. The cal was done with the engine running, lights on, etc. The unit itself is mounted on the top of the HS, under the fairing using aluminum pop rivets. Aside from the stab trim wiring and the LED tail light bulb on the rudder, there is no electrical power running back near the unit. It should be a "clean" magnetic location so I'm baffled at the poor calibration.
So this leads to my question- the cable I used to connect this unit to the D10A was left over from my rudder trim (now removed) It is NOT shielded nor twisted. I've heard that Dynon is backing away from the requirement for shielded data bus cables - is this an issue for me, or not? I can order and install the Dynon supplied EDC-10A cable, but I'd rather not if it's not a real issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
