Hi, I'm across in the UK building an RV9A with an IO320 engine. I'm wiring up the G3X engine sensors to the GEA24 and I've realised I've made a mistake.
The Kavlico pressure senders are supplied with 16awg tails (unshielded) so I went ahead and spliced in the extra 16awg wire to reach the GEA24. I now realise that the manual says they should be shielded, floating at the sensor end and grounded to the backshell at the other, but over here I can only source 18awg 3 core shielded wire - would that be suitable?
I'm also aware that the Dynon kit uses unshielded wires so would it harm if the above stayed unshielded. Unfortunately, I can't find a builder over here who has fully installed a G3X system.
All comments and help/advice will be welcome.
