Hello,

I am a little confused ; I have to install dual Pmags via a VPX and would like to know if I need to connect the Pmags ( pin 5 ) on one or two VPX pin ?

In advance thank you
Sylvain
 
Bonjour,


Look at install manual page 42. You want to have each pmag on its on circuit. If one was to fail and pop the circuit breaker, you don't want the other going off line just in case the good one has an internal power failure. Also when you do the power off test each flight, you want to do each pmag separately.

I did not connect my PMags to the VPX for the power pin. I simply connected them to the battery through a switch and fuse. In case the VPX fails, this allows an engine start (with someone propping it) in a pinch.
