The Lamar MC10 is a master electrical control unit developed for 14V and 24V single engine experimental aircraft. It is designed to mount on the firewall or fuselage. It houses all the major electrical components except for the battery, starter, and alternator. the MC10 provides a greater degree of protection against moisture, dust and accidental electrical shorts along with the convenience of all the primary electrical components in one location. It features low installation cost, ease of installation and greatly simplified troubleshooting and repair with several new performance and safety features.
The MC10 embodies the following functions:
- Master (battery) (solenoid) control closing the
master switch on pilot's panel connects the
battery to the primary bus.
- Three aircraft bus outputs, protected via
resetable circuit breakers.
- Alternator Control; voltage regulation,
overvoltage protection, field output overload
protection, alternator feeder fault protection
- Starter control (solenoid)
- Low voltage warning.(L model also includes
overvoltage, over-current and reverse-current
annunciation).
- Battery charge/discharge ammeter drive
(current shunt)
- Clock output (always-on) protected with easily
accesible external mounted fuse.
- Ground power receptacle and control (solenoid)
with reverse polarity protection.
