Hi JC-



Funny, I am just doing the same thing with different equipment - I have a

296 and an Electronics Int'l FP-5L fuel totatilizer.



Pg. 158 of the 396 pilot's guide shows the pinout (I can email you the page

if you don't have it). Data out on the 396 is blue - this should go to the

GPS input on the FS-450. The 396 output needs to be set to whatever

standard JPI can read (most of the quipment can "read" NMEA). I am assuming

you'll need to buy a power/data connector with bare cable ends (the 296 did

not come with such cable) - so you can use the same cable to power the 396

and to signal-feed the JPI fuel flow. I'd terminate the 396 bare ends cable

into a DIN-5 or sub D-9 in order to have everything available (don't know

if the 396 alarms are available in aviation mode - the 296 alarms are for

auto mode only). With a DIN-5 os sub D-9 on the other end of the bare ends

cable you'll have enough pins in one connector to be able to feed the music

of 396 etc.  



Good luck

Rumen

Greetings;



	Does anyone have a means of connecting the new 396 to the FS-450 Fuel Flow

monitor?

A wiring diragram/hints/instructions would be greatly appreciated.



Many Thanks;

JC

Hi again JC-



I just found a file of the FS450 manual on my computer.

Pg. 20 of FS450 Pilot's manual Re. D 11/2001 shows the FS450 pinout. 

Pin 9 is for GPS-in ("from GPS"). The signal compatibility table indicates

that most every GPS on the market today with serial output should be able

to work with FS450 to show MPG, RES(serve) and REQ(uired) (see table on pg.

8 of the pilot's manual). If this is the purpose pin 9 on the back of the

FS450 needs to be connected to Data Out (blue) of the 396.

If you are talking fuel data to GPS (the opposite scenario and different

goal), then the choices are probably much more restricted in terms of GPS

selection.
