regime. The charge condition is monitored by the digital voltage regulator and limited to 14V. All
electrical units are supplied power by the battery and all circuits are separately protected.
The power generation is monitored using the a voltmeter and ammeter.
The average current consumption on board, when the engine is running, including the radio,
transponder, glass cockpit and position lights amounts is approximately 10A if the battery is fully
charged.
NOTE
A decreasing voltage in flight is an indication that the generator is not functioning correctly or even has
a total failure. If the generator has a failure all electrical systems are supplied only by the battery. If the
on board voltage drops lower than 8V the ECU stops working and the engine will stop. Should this occur
it is essential that all non-essential systems that consume electric are turned off The remaining flight
time depends on the condition and capacity of the battery.
DO NOT operate the engine without a battery connected to the generator. Aircraft with more than one
battery (Backup) must both be connected via the voltage regulator to the generator, while the engine
is running.
