Installing a new Dynon heated pitot assembly as part of an HDX upgrade that includes an ACM.
To connect the black ground wire, according to the ACM installation manual, pg127: "Black Ground #14 Locally grounded using ring terminal".
This goes against the Dynon pitot installation manual which specifically states:
Do not connect the Black (Ground) wire to the airframe as a Ground connection.
Doing so will introduce high currents (10A) into the airframe. This can introduce a
significant voltage drop, and potentially cause engine instrumentation, avionics,
and audio system electrical problems.
What's the proper procedure for grounding the assembly?
