Overview of Ignition/Starter Switch Panel Installation
Thank you for purchasing an Electroair Ignition/Starter Switch Panel for Electroair
electronic ignition system equipped aircraft. Electroair is confident that you will be
happy with the performance of the Electroair Ignition/Starter Switch Panel for Electroair
electronic ignition system equipped aircraft. The next pages will provide a step-by-step
process of installing the EIS on the aircraft. Electroair hopes you will enjoy the
experience and that this manual will provide clear direction and guidance through this
process. This manual will cover the following general installation steps:
1. General overview and recommendations
2. Removal of old ignition components
3. Set-up & installation of p/n: EA-13000 Ignition/Starter Switch Panel
4. Final installation steps
Electroair strongly recommends reading through this entire installation procedure before
installing the Electroair Ignition/Starter Switch Panel for your Electroair electronic
ignition system equipped aircraft. Make sure that any questions are answered before
the actual installation. Also, make sure any extra components needed, e.g. cable ties,
switch terminations, etc., are available. Removal of old components and installation of
new components shall be completed in compliance with CFR Title 14 Part 43, as
applicable, and any Airframe or Engine Manufacturer Maintenance Procedures, as
applicable. Above all else, use good common sense and professional judgment. An
ignition/starter switch panel is an electrical device. If an ignition/starter switch panel is
improperly installed, severe damage could be caused to the ignition/starter switch
panel, EIS, aircraft, or installer including bodily injury or death.
Please contact Electroair with any questions during this installation process. Good luck
and happy flying!!

Precautionary Statements:
ALWAYS STAY OUT OF THE PROPELLER ARC!
CAUTION: Disconnect the battery before starting this procedure.
CAUTION: Prior to any drilling or cutting, verify that there is proper clearance.
CAUTION: Do not cut or alter any structural tubing, aluminum panels, or skin.
CAUTION: Follow these instructions very carefully to insure a correct hook-up of
the Ignition/Starter Switch Panel. Skipping ahead or taking short cuts increases
the risk of an incorrect installation and either a poor performing EIS or the
possibility of damaging equipment. Prior to turning on bus power, verify the
wiring. Please call Electroair with any questions (sales@electroair.net or 248-
674-3433).
CAUTION: Do not secure any radio communication, navigation, transponders or
intercom wiring to any ignition related wires, boxes, or sensors. Doing so will
cause poor to noisy transmission or reception of com and intercom and/or poor
or no navigation function. Keep at least 3 inches between these wires.
CAUTION: If using a non-impulse coupled magneto aka direct
drive magneto aka non-starting magneto, update pilot checklist/
POH to have MAG switch in OFF position during starting.
Consult with appropriate licensed mechanic.
Consult applicable service manuals for the aircraft.

2. Removal of Old Ignition Components:
Remove the existing rotary key switch.
Label all leads affixed to the rotary key switch in the process.
Save all of the parts for future reference.
If EIS was previously installed, either coil and stow P-lead wire or carefully clip P-
lead wire from harness.
If EIS not previously installed, remove P-lead from the magneto that is being
converted to the EIS system.
If the ignition/starter switch panel is not being installed in the rotary key switch
location, plug the hole left by removing the rotary key switch as necessary.
3. Set-up & Installation of p/n: EA-13000 Ignition/Starter Switch Panel:
Review the leads corresponding to the location of the ignition/starter switch
panel.
o Are they of the appropriate length?
o If not, adjust in accordance with 43.13-1B Change 1 section 11-167.
Remove the material of the instrument panel in accordance with the cutout
provided. Be advised that the drawing scale is not 1:1. All dimensions are in
inches.

Figure 4: Configuration B Cutout Dimensions
CAUTION: Before cutting or drilling verify space is clear behind the
instrument panel.
CAUTION: Use extreme care as to not damage any wiring,
instruments, structural, and fuel lines.
CAUTION: The connectors and connecting hardware for the starter switch are
small. Take extreme care not to lose them.
CAUTION: Ensure electrical connectors are tight on switch connections. Ensure
wires will not pull out of any electrical connections.
EIS Switch
o Use this switch as the EIS Ignition Switch shown in the EIS schematic.
o Connect C1 Pin 1 to connector labeled EIS.
o Connect connector labeled B+ to the 2A breaker or fuse.
Mag Switch
o Use this switch as the Magneto Switch.
o Connect ground to GND.
o Connect the P-Lead to P-LEAD.
Starter Switch
o Use this switch as the Start Switch.
o Connect lead from starter terminal of ignition switch to terminal 1.
o Connect B+ to terminal 2.
Insulate any exposed electrical connections in accordance with 43.13-1B Change
1 section 11-159.

4. Final Installation Steps:
CAUTION: If using a non-impulse coupled magneto aka direct
drive magneto aka non-starting magneto, update pilot checklist/
POH to have MAG switch in OFF position during starting.
Start the aircraft per the AFMS and perform a ground run-up.
o Check for proper starter function.
o Check for proper RPM drop on EIS.
o Check for proper RPM drop on magneto.
If the aircraft passes, then return to service.
If the aircraft fails, then verify that all of the connections are correct and
competent and that no other wires were damaged during the install. Repeat the
start-up process.
If the aircraft fails a second time, contact the factory for support. (248-674-3433
