Brief Description: Tested the ELT and ADS-B Systems
The display for the carb heat has always read in the 40's which didn't make sense. Reset the readout to display the temperature in Fahrenheit and the reading remained the same. Reviewed the wiring documentation and checked the display. Found that the sensor wires were installed backward. Fixed the wires to the correct terminals and found that the display listed the temp at 94 degrees F. That was a bit high but within 10 degrees of the actual temperature.
Organized and secured more of the wiring behind the instrument panel with wire ties on the left side. Removed the headphone jack on the right side and reconnected the headphone lead from the radio. Reinstalled the jack into the instrument panel.
Mounted the iPad Mini on the instrument panel and plug in it power supply. Powered up the aircraft and turned on the avionics master switch. Logged into the iPad and brought up the ADS-B application to the configuration page. Entered the ICAO code for the aircraft in hex of A4D2D1 and hit the update button. The update was accepted. Selected the monitor page and noted that the ID was correct and the altitude and coordinates were present indicating that the ADS-B system was functioning ok.
Turned on the VHF radio and turned it to 121.5 mhz to hear the ELT test. Toggled the test switch on the ELT and got the correct LED indication and heard the three tones on the radio. All indications are correct for the ELT.
Changed the fitting on the back of the VSI to a T fitting to allow connection to the blind altimeter for static air pressure. Used the step drill bit to put a hole in the far right side of the instrument panel near the top of the circuit breakers to accept a rubber grommet for the cockpit light wires. Those to be installed during the next work day.
