I rearranged a few pins on the VP-X based on some feedback I got from Vertical Power, then started wiring power to the essential avionics up through the isolation diodes. \u00a0The cathodes are the right pair of screws in each package, so they get connected together with a short loop of wire along with the wire to the device. \u00a0The left pair of screws in each package are the anodes and are for receiving power from the VP-X (upper left screw in each package) and the essential bus (lower left screw in each package). \u00a0I ran out of #8 ring terminals, or I could have finished this up tonight.<\/p>\n

I wired up four of the six devices on the essential bus. \u00a0The ordering in the diode pack is the same as the ordering in the essential bus (e.g. upper left in both is the GTN main power, etc.)<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Since I was wiring the essential bus, I went ahead and hooked up the essential bus switch in the panel with some 12AWG wire.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

The essential bus switch is a locking switch that has to be pulled out to turn on or off.<\/p>\n
