GPS Xed out

I have the Challenger Efis On the display the GPS has a big red x on it. I can't find out why. I thought it was because the plane was in the hanger but I took it outside today and the red x is still there. Still trying to get everything lined out. Help please.

Re: Fuel Indication

Thanks Ranier I did the ground thing and found that I was not getting a good ground. These Stewart Warner floats do not have a dedicated ground screw like the VDO ones did. I was relying on the mounting screws for a ground. 3 of them worked fine but there is always one in the crowd as they say. I fi...

Re: Virtual Fuel Tanks

so are you saying I need to set up a virtual tank in the screen designer? If so can't do it. I don't think I have any real-estate left for another tank.

Virtual Fuel Tanks

Hi Can anyone tell me if its possible to set up virtual fuel tanks when you have four tanks. I have two RDACS, two tanks on one and two on the other. Adam made me a custom screen to show the four tanks. I can't get them to read correctly with the RDACs. Is there a way to set up the flow (RED CUBE 60...

Re: Trim Indicator

Hi hpmicrowave. First off thanks for replying. Your setup looks almost like I did. Except mine is for pitch trim and they recommend analog 2 for the input. (I think that's right without looking it up ). I also have a relay deck and I have the orange wire going to 12 volts. The only difference is the...

Trim Indicator

Hey Everyone I have to admit I'm not having much luck with the MGL EFIS. I guess its just beyond my pay grade so to speak. My current problem (one of many) is getting the Ray Allen pitch trim display to work. The trim itself works from the china hat on the stick. I have 3 wires that used to go to th...

Re: Alarm Acknowledge

Hmm Maybe that's the deal. I haven't flown the plane yet. Just trying to get everything set up. When I boot up I get the low voltage flashing in red in the middle of the screen. pushing the acknowledge turns that off but my light stays on. So maybe I as your saying just canceling the audio and I sti...
