CAUTION: Voltage peaks on the supply line that exceeds the operating limits can damage the device. General wiring hints: ● It is recommended that EngiMaster and remote module be installed prior to constructing the wiring harnesses and cables. ● Use aeronautic cable for the wiring. - Page 21 EngiMaster. Contacts for the connectors must be crimped onto the individual wire of the wiring harness. CAUTION: To avoid damage to the EngiMaster/Remote module, take precautions to prevent Electro-Static Discharge (ESD)
- Page 22 Each end must be terminated with a 120 ohm resistor, that in the case of EngiMaster and remote module is integrated inside the instruments so that the installer should simply connect together two pin on the connector to perform the required terminations.
- Page 23 CAN bus share the same power ground reference. This means that the power ground of the various devices must be connected to a single ground point (do not use aircraft structure as a power ground). EngiMaster Installation Manual, Safety Instructions and Warning Booklet REV 1.0...
