Studied the manuals a bit more yesterday. I have been mistaken about a few things. The new diagram:
FP1 and FP2 are just manual switches. FP1A is the ECU governed relay switch. This makes much more sense. Normal operation: FP1 = ON, and the ECU runs the thing. FP2 is backup and can be run in addition or instead of FP1.
If I draw the diagram "as recommended" by UL, it will look like this:
I don't understand the use of that 30A fuse. All engine systems are connected to the ECU. Also, the starter button is always "hot", even though it won't start without FP and ECU switches "ON". The 60A fuse seems way over-sized. Both the 8660 and the Mascot charger have fuses.
IMO the philosophy must be that the primary system runs the engine, and it should contain no protective devices for the secondary system. The engine should run even though the master switch is "OFF", similar to the AeroVee. The ECU, FP1 and FP2 switches should be more than enough. The revised diagram will look like this (I think):
The master switch isn't really a master switch, it's a switch for the secondary system. The ECU switch is the "master" sort of.
