ECU Orientation
in General Tech Discussion
2 hours ago
Hi all, hoping for some opinions and experience regarding mounting orientation of the ECU. My engine is a 915iS but I suppose this applies to any iS engine.
The installation manual says
"To prevent the ingress of liquids (moisture), the ECU must be mounted in a way that the connectors are facing downward."
The avionics package I have on my build (Sling tsi with avionics from midwest panel builders) has the ECU installed horizontally beneath the instrument panel shelf with the connectors facing the firewall.
Does anyone have an opinion on this? If there are a lot of folks that have installed the ECU in this orientation I'll be more comfortable otherwise I'm inclined to follow the Rotax instructions.
Thanks!
