Low-voltage warning unit

Post by Nick Allen »

The low-voltage warning light on our motorglider isn't working. It seems to be driven by a mysterious orange box, with a model number, a serial number...but no maker's name. Has anyone seen similar? Got any ideas how to test it? (The bulb seems to be good.)

Can't help with testing but maybe you can get some info from Skycraft:

Also mentioned in CAP 562 showing alternatives for a Chipmunk (page 20).
