JetCat installation questions?
 

Hi Jets,
1.What max current ( how many amps ) should I expect in connection between battery pack and ECU (JetCatP120). I have difficult access to the ECU and I’m looking for the way of connecting charger without unplugging battery from ECU. What about installing heavy duty receiver switch with charging socket between battery and ECU.???
2. What is your opinion about disconnecting gas tank after turbine startup (before takeoff) ?
Regards
Marcin

battery charging
 

Marcin,

I cut the jet cat battery wires where I can access them in the fuse, added a connector (deans super connector) in line. Also made an adapter for my field charger to match. Never checked the amp draw?? Hopper tanks (if that is what you mean) are ok to have hooked up while motor is running, they can be disconnected any time.

(by gas tank I mean -starting propan gas tank)

I wouldn't empty it to the outside while the engine is running. You don't need to do that anyway with the JetCat ECU. It has an option to empty the propane tank into the engine after it starts. Simply enable that option and you'll be flying with an empty propane tank...

You don't need to disconnect the wires to the ECU if you don't use a reverse pulse charger. A remote radio jack and charge
at 2 amp. is ok.

As far as no gas can, is it a safety thing? If so the bleed down
option still leaves fuel line pressure in the can.

You can use disconnects like air lines that shut off the line when
you break it and no onbord gas can.
