Backup Battery Voltage

I have the new TCW backup battery, the new 6 amp model, they don't make the 4 amp model I currently have in place. It is toast. The new one has a line for reading the voltage of the backup battery. How do I get that to the EFIS and display it all the time. I have the HXr and the EIS 4000. Thanks Bert

Re: Nav Selection

Thanks Bob, you were right, hitting thr CDI button on 650 switched the HSI to the
VLOC indicator on the HXr.
One other question, when I switch, does that mean the 650 is not sending a GPS signal
To the EFIS?

Thanks

Nav Selection

I am finally getting around to checking out the VOR receiver on the HXr. Not in flight but on the ground, when I push the CDI/OBS button I am not given a NAV button to push. I get two choices GPS650-1 and GPS2. Is that because my nav radio is in the 650? Under the Bearing keys I have both GPS's and ...

Auto Pilot Help

More help needed on this old thread. I now have the switch, thank to Approach Fast Stack, that toggles the 650 between the auto pilot and the HXr. Questions: 1. Should I be in the ENAV or GNAV mode? 2. Do the autopilot setting in the HXr need to be increased from all being 100%? Sequence of events w...

Way to Angle Screen

I have HXr on the left and HX on right. Sure would like to angle HX toward
pilot side. Not much, maybe 1" on outboard side.
Has anyone done this?
Would appreciate any suggestions or direction.
Plane is RV9A.

Thanks

Flight Time etc

Was not sure where to post this. I have HXr and Hx and EIS4000. Is there some place that records total flight time? I can go to the log book and get each flight 25kts to 25kts, but is there a page that might show total miles, flight time etc. I see people post photos of instruments, EFIS on panel sh...

Re: Selector Switch

Thanks Bob, so if I understand, I can put a flight plan in the 650, make sure the HXr has 650 selected, switch on EFIS,
and then control auto pilot from the EFIS?
Will go look at HX documents.

Thanks

Selector Switch

I have the HXr, GTN650 and Vision 385. I have finally gotten around to learning to use the EFIS to control the A/P. But...found out from Jeff, I didn't have the selector switch. Could not find any info in the Autopilot documents. I used Approach Fast Stack for my avionics. I called Tim and he looked...

Re: Endurance Alarm

Thanks Jeff. I have 18 hours now on my 9A. I am enjoying learning and flying
with my GRT setup. I have the 10" HXr on left and HX on the right. I keep the engine
temps page up on the HX. This lets me switch pages on the HXr and still keep
an eye on critical stuff. Great product.

Endurance Alarm

Where do I go to set this alarm? Can't seem to find it.
I want to use it for swap tank reminder.

Thanks
