Hi Guys I have just taken delivery of a UMA VSI unit and noticed something that needs attension. The needle does not sit on zero. If I place my finger over the rear port and apply slight pressure it will zero or even show a descent depending on the amount of pressure applied. This is understandable and proves that it is working I suppose. It has an adjustment screw in the bottom left mounting screw position. Would this be the zero adjustment for the unit or something else? The literature that came with the unit is of no help in this regard at all. For interest sake, does anybody know exactly how these things work. I know it measures the rate of change in static pressure but then the needle should return to zero or at least move in that direction if I keep a constant pressure on the rear port with my finger.

I'm sure that's the zero adjust screw but I wouldn't bother with it untill it's mounted in the panel unless you just want to test it. - Original Message - From: "AVLEC" To: "KRnet" Sent: Friday, September 15, 2006 1:19 AM Subject: KR> VSI > Hi Guys > I have just taken delivery of a UMA VSI unit and noticed something that > needs attension.

Hi Dean That little screw is to adjust the zero. The instrument works by measuring air flow through a small orifice to/from one chamber that is otherwise sealed to another that is open to the atmosphere. A pressure differential is created between the chambers as you climb or descend that causes the air to flow until the chambers equalise. Yes, it should return to zero after a short time with your finger on the port provided you don't vary the pinkie pressure.

It is a small pressure chamber with a calibrated hole and a needle that connects to a diaphragm on the chamber. The hole lets air in and out of the chamber slowly. When pressure is equal inside and outside, the needle should point to zero. The needle moves based on the rate of pressure change.

The screw is to adjust zero. When you make the instrument panel it is a good idea to put a hole there so it can be readjusted in the panel. They tend to be a bit touchy near zero. I have two that I have adjusted to zero then found that they were 100 FPM off later. The adjustment doesn't really wander much, but the needles are a bit sticky without the vibration and changing air pressure in flight so you don't always get it right the first time on the ground and having the hole in the panel to readjust it helps a lot.

KR> VSI & XCOM760
Hi guys Thanks to those that responded to my question regarding the VSI, it is now zero'd and works just fine. Along with the VSI, I also got an XCOM760 radio. I managed to get it powered up today to see if it worked properly. Well to say I was impressed is an understatement! This thing can pick up aircraft still on the ground at our local airport about 50 km away.This is with a dipole antennae that I made and taped to an old fishing rod, This is no big deal unless you know that I live at the foot of a mountain that stands between us. I have an old king valve set that can't even pick up the tower at the airport from here. I can't wait to get two headsets plugged into it to test the VOX intercom and the aux music input.

Another possibility, and the one that I used to use on the helos, is to tap the edge of the VSI (gently) with the handle of a screwdriver while adjusting it with another. Allen G.

Maybe a little. I have tried tapping it while adjusting and that did not do much. Just having the hole in the panel to tweek it up or down a bit after a flight would do the trick. I don't have the hole on my Stang and it reads about 150 FPM low. Sometimes on the ground it reads a 150 FPM descent and sometimes it reads zero. In the air it is fairly reliable at 150 FPM less than what I am really doing.
