 Posted: Wed Jan 17, 2007 5:24 pm Post subject: how to wire basic resistive Isspro fuel gauges |
 |
|
I find myself in need of the wiring schematic for the Isspro fuel
gauges that Van's sells - I think they're #8690, and am unable to find
it at the company website or with Google. I need to know how the
senders wire to the gauges and where the 12V and GND connections are
made.
Confession time: I have these gauges in my plane now, but have lost
the old wiring diagram I drew at the time (which would have been an
embarassment if it still existed, like the rat's nest behind my
present panel). I need the info to design relevant parts of the
diagram for the new electrical system.
Thanks,
-Bill B.

The ISSPRO gages were designed by Van's and manufactured by ISSPRO. ACS&S carrries them without the a Logo and Chief carries them with the Chief Logo.
I ran into the lack of paperwork problem on the ACS&S ordered gages and contacted ISS and got that info. Since then the ACS&S gages I have ordered have a copy of the PDF from Van's tucked in the box.
I also downloaded and printed the page from the Van's site for my files.
Oh, the gages don't like to work properly below 11 VDC, bear that in mind when figuring your depleat battery time during charge failure. (or when running tests in the shop..hehe..ask me how I know)

Thanks to everyone for the help. Now to ponder the wiring needs for
future connection of Van's resistive float senders to GRT EIS/EFIS
circuitry. I'll research that and holler if I get stuck.
It's a challenge to run wires today for avionics you won't hold in
your hands for months to come

Hi Bill,
If you find good information regarding Van's fuel level senders to GRT EFIS/
EIS, please share it - I'm almost there.

Bill,
Contact GRT and they will provide two resistors to be used in
hooking up the Stewart Warner float type fuel level units. I will do
that I think but at this time I have the Van's gages mounted and I also
have the optical low fuel level devices to be my back up. These are
available from Aircraft Extras. These are (almost) fool proof. I will
use my clock and prior burns for the main determination, then fuel gages
backed up with the optical units. Your right, I am NOT going to run out
of fuel. I hope to prevent any screw ups from causing my unscheduled
landings.

FWF about done - wings next.
