the basic steps required to operate the AE300-Wizard.
6.1

Connect the CAN adapter to the aircraft CAN (Diagnostic) plug using a CAN extension
cord if required.
6.2
Starting the AE300-Wizard
-

-

ating modes will be available. For details see chapter “7 Modes of Operation” on page
6.3
Setting up the Aircraft
For safety reasons certain functions of the AE300-Wizard are available only in a safe context
(e.g. aircraft on the ground, engine not running etc.). Below is a summary of those consid-
erations.
6.3.1
Engine Running
If the AE300-Wizard is connected to a running engine only diagnostic functions which do not
interfere with engine control are allowed by the ECU firmware:
-
«Engine Data» tab on the right page displays real time engine data and status continu-
ously for BOTH ECUs (
Note:
The Garmin G1000 displays engine data and status for the
ACTIVE ECU only).
-
Real time clock and operating hours counters displayed in «Engine Data» tab are not
updated but frozen at the time of Connect ECU button has been pressed.
-
Fault Code Memory can be read and cleared on running engine.
-
Note:
Event records and data logs CANNOT be downloaded from a running engine.
6.3.2
Engine not Running
If the engine is not running the primary concerns are in respect to battery exhaustion and to
prevent damage of engine components.
6.3.2.1
Ground Power Supply
Diagnostics session lasting longer than 15-20 minutes (e.g. downloading data logger data)
may drain the aircraft battery.
In twin engine aircraft one engine may be running and supplying power while the other
(stopped) engine can be diagnosed. If both engines are stopped or in single engine aircraft
the use of a ground power supply is highly recommended.
6.3.2.2
Electric Fuel Pumps
Pull circuit breakers of both fuel pumps to prevent overheating, fuel over pressure and pos-
sible damage.
