JPI 700

[Pictreed]

I took my plane in for some avionics work and the JPI seems to have lost the first digit on the readout for the battery.  When charging it says 3.2.  Has anyone had this problem?

Tim, check the back of the unit and make sure the harness is pushed in good. Mine went in the shop once and apparently they bumped the plug-in harness that plugs to the head unit on the dash..I was getting all kind of crazy reading. I looked under the dash and reseated it and worked fine.   BTW...Your yokes will finally go out tomorrow. Took them a while, but finally out and ready to go

Awesome.  I'll get them installed when I get the Aspen.

They did a lot of work under the panel so I'm sure it got bumped.  

I went to pick it up today and had to wait a few hours because a Hawker blew a main tire (or two) on the runway at Denton.  As soon as they got it off the runway about (5) 152s raced to take off...ugh!  That's not including all the aircraft that was either holding or at nearby airports.  It was a mess.

It looks like all the left side is out on the JPI...The left digit and the #1 cylinder.  It's just blank.   I'll have a look under there this weekend.

     If you want a spare, I have a working-when-removed JPI 700 available, removed when I installed my 900. I'm keeping the probes as spares for my new system, since the probes are the same. So this is just the main unit.  PM me if interested.

I lost several segments, ended up upgrading to 830, new color display much easier to read.

I am missing several segments. I understand they can be repaired fairly easy.

Looks like the failure is internal to the unit. Most likely the display connector (contact cleaner) or the display driver. I have seen this on the King radios (KNS 80, KX 165 and others).

I was able to take off both 'parallel' looking plugs and inspect the wiring.  Everything looks good. 

There's a comprehensive trouble shooting guide on JPI's website that I'm going to look at. 

Found out I've got a couple screw recepticals on the cowl that are failing so I've got to go to Aircraft Spruce tomorrow.  Tinnerman???  One was torn all the way out so I made a temporary backing.

the display started going bad in my UBG16.  I had to send it back to have the LCD replaced.

Dog house Tiny tinnermans are a challenge to find...

Just had the LCD replaced in my edm 700. Cost is $250

I have several EDM800's if you would rather put the 'repair money' towards an upgrade.  Can add fuel flow, MP, OP, OAT, OT, % Power and get all the features of an EDM830.  Can also upgrade to the EDM830 if you want.

My apologies for hijacking the thread, but does anyone know of an angle mount for the JPI 730/830? Mine is too far to the right and I have to lean over to see it well. I would prefer an angle mount rather than moving it which would result in having to rearrange a bunch of stuff.

It may be really deep.  Try to get a feeling if it would work with an angle mount.

tealoy deep in terms of the length of the device itself that is behind the panel.

Best regards,

Don, 

I think the next upgrade will be a 900 series.  

$250 isn't too bad for a quick fix.
