Help finding a Cambridge Vario manual/info
Hi,
I've got a Cambridge electric vario that I want to keep using in my newly reworked panel. The problem is that it is as old as the panel and I can't find basic connection/wiring information on it. The best I can read the nameplate info (It was hand etched on the nameplate) is that the model number is "CIS60SR" (not sure if those are "s" or "5"; serial number 1092; 11-18 VDC; Rev. 12. The vario has + and - power studs, a 5 pin and a 6 pin female plugs, and is hard wired with 2 toggle switches The panel mounted audio box w/speaker is separate from the vario, with a volume and a tone knob and plugs into the back of the vario with a 5 pin male plug. Any help or direction to someone who would know about this instrument would really be appreciated. Thanks, Dan |

Help finding a Cambridge Vario manual/info
what you likely have is the very old CVS50 (or 40, 60 depending on if it's
feet/knots or M/S) there isn't much information on this you don't already have.the studs are for 12V +/-) as marked.the 5 pin connector is for the separate AU20 (up only sound) or AU22 audio (up and down sounds)which has pins configured so you can't screw it up.....the tubing connections are for TE or Static and the other (marked) for .45 capacity....knobs on the audio control just volume and where the audio starts to sound... toggle switches on separate leads are for response rates (slow and slower ) and second switch may be off/on or can also be dual range (full needle deflection is then either 5 knots or 10 knots (or feet, M/S) hope this helps tim Wings & Wheels www.wingsandwheels.com "keelstrake" wrote in message oups.com...
