Default Warning-Real Homebuilder Part For Sale!!!


Homebuilders, (and others), if you’re cramped for panel space, have
too many switches for “non-essential” avionics, and want to protect your
electronics installations from start up transients...go he
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=4647303457

I think I have a great product at a great price. Give me your input!

WHAT IS WideWire?
WideWire is a completely solid-state, no moving parts, “On Delay”
switch designed to protect sensitive avionics from start-up transients
and then automatically power up your avionics.

HOW DO I USE WideWire?
WideWire will turn on avionics after a short (1-2 minute) delay,
protecting equipment from the stresses of engine start. After the delay,
the equipment turns on AUTOMATICALLY making important avionics, like
engine analyzers and intercoms, quickly available without the wiring
hassles, panel space, and pilot interaction needed by extra switches.

IS WideWire DIFFICULT TO INSTALL?
Not at all. As it’s name implies, WideWire is simply spliced into the
power supply wire for the equipment you want to protect, and for which
you want an AUTOMATIC power on sequence. It’s like a wide piece of wire!

HOW BIG IS WideWire?
Small. Really small! WideWire is one inch long and ½ inch in diameter.

HOW MUCH CURRENT CAN WideWire HANDLE?
WideWire can continuously carry 3 amps of current at an ambient
temperature of +70*C (+158*F), more than enough for an engine
analyzer, fuel flow indicator, or intercom. Lower ambient temperatures
allow WideWire to carry more current, up to a maximum of 5 amps at room
temperature (+68*F). A 3 amp fuse or circuit breaker will provide full
protection for WideWire and its load with proper wiring technique.

WILL WideWire INTERFERE WITH MY OTHER AVIONICS?
No, it won’t. In this day of “digital”, WideWire is a simple analog
device, designed to ramp up power to the avionics attached to it gently.
You won’t even hear a “pop” or “click” in the headset when WideWire does
its job.

WILL WideWire WORK ON MY 28 VOLT SYSTEM?
Absolutely! WideWire will work reliably over the range of 5 to 30
volts, but the time delay will vary. On a 28 volt aircraft, the “On
Delay” will be roughly 30 seconds, more than enough time for protection
from engine start-up transients.

WILL WideWire TIME DELAY EVERY TIME I CYCLE POWER?
No, it won’t. The turn-on delay function of WideWire also works in
reverse. It has to be turned off for a period roughly equal to its
turn-on delay before it will delay again. So the equipment powered by
WideWire will be instantly ON if you cycle the aircraft power after
WideWire has come on line. This is a valuable avionics trouble-shooting
and safety feature built into the design of WideWire.

IS WideWire TSO’d OR PMA’d?
WideWire is built to the highest aerospace standards, but there is no
Technical Standard Order (TSO) for an item like WideWire. Nor is
WideWire Parts Manufacturer Approved (PMA), so it’s only useable on
experimental or homebuilt aircraft. Contact your local FSDO for using
WideWire on certificated aircraft under a field approval. We’ll be glad
to help with engineering documentation.

IS WideWire WARRANTED?
WideWire is unconditionally warranted for 5 years from the date of
purchase. If it fails within that time, just ship it back to us and
we’ll ship you a new WideWire in return, no questions asked.
