Anyone know what the red/blue wire from the EIS to Intercom system is for? Even more what it does?

It tells your passenger what your engine is doing.

FYI,



Talked to Sany at grand rapids today and yes the red/blue wire is a audio warning input if anything is out of limit. It goes beep beep beep. Rather anoying to most pilots as she mentioned and most folks dont hook it up however if you acklowdege the signal the beeping stops but the red light stays on untill things are within limits. Sandy and the gang at grand rapids are great folks and have a great sence of humor. I asked Sandy why not have the sexy girl say "Your to low" or "You have a oil temp out of range" hehe she replied "That girl quit!"

When do you guys with EIS, audio and video warnings, flashing red 

lights, etc., find time to fly the plane?

Hi John/Gang,

John, with the EIS it really is nice to just fly and enjoy the scenery. You

don't have to scan a dash full of steam gauges to know every thing is ok. If

some parameter is about to be violated the flashing red light will catch

your attention. You can set it up to warn you as early as you want or as

late as you want. Of course you know this and your just needling Paul but

some other folks might not know that.

Have a Great Day,

With EIS there is no scanning guages, it really lets you give more of your attention to the scenery outside.   I never have to look to see if my oil pressure, temperature, etc is ok.  If anything gets out of range, the flashing red light along with the flashing number that is out of range gets my attention immidately.  With my luck, the oil pressure would start to fall exactly when I am not looking at the guage... With an EIS, it gets my attention as soon as it happens.   Talk about taking a load off, not to have to monitor engine instruments, and spending more time looking outside is what flying a Kolb is all about

Mike:



A good pilot can scan his gauges in a split second.  Learned how to do 

that in Primary Training, and can still do it.



Don't think I have lost any time lately enjoying the beautiful places 

I get to fly   my old bird.



I have flown with the EIS enough to know what I am comfortable with. 

Besides, what would I do with my old collections of gauges if I 

upgraded to a blinking light and a beeper in my headset?

mkIII  Old fashioned, but it still gets away from home occassionally.
