ESI & EMI question

[Friendly]

I bought an ESI to monitor my Rotax engine. It comes with a wiring harness that has multiple wires about 18 guage that run to the various sending units being monitored.
My question is before I start hooking everything up. Should the tach wires be separated or put in a shielded cable to Prevent Electro Magnetic Interference.?
One of the major reasons for an engine change was to get something that would have better radio reception .

If it is a E I S system like mine, then no.... just run all the wires together from the engine to the panel.

I shortened my wires and ran them up through the keel so the wires would be be out of the way.

I agree with Ron. On my Air Command, I did nothing special with the EIS wiring, and never had a problem with radio interference.

My radio was an an Icom A4 sport handheld.

Thanks Guys,
Ron,
that looks like 20 feet of wire in that picture. My ESI is from Grand Rapides,

I have not seen a ESI yet.

And yeah I ordered it with extra wire, I didn't want to come up short and have to splice in more wire, so I had them do the harness long and I clipped off what I didn't need. They should have asked you how long you wanted your wires, hope you didn't measure too short!

Also I had them send me the optional stuff to use my EIS as a rotor tach as well.

Thanks for the correction. Its not Electronic System Instrument. Mine came from leaf, I did not know you could order it with longer wiring but I think it will be fine.

Also I had them send me the optional stuff to use my EIS as a rotor tach as well.Do they have a web page with the "optional stuff" listed on it, Ron? I might switch over to it too. =Ed=



Whoops... forget it. I just located their site.

Cheers,
