Has anyone done this?



I want to power 2 Vans Steam Fuel Gauges and the EIS from float  

senders on RV-6



I am trying to figure out how to wire (from float senders) 2 Vans Fuel  

guages and also connect to a Grand Rapids EIS. If I was coming  

directly to the EIS, I am supposed to use a 4.8V Excitation (from EIS)  

through a 470 ohm 1/4-1/2 Watt Resistor to the Sender.



Anybody done this setup before? Do I need the Excitation or the  

resistors? Do the Vans Fuel Guages already have resistor's built in?



Help,



Ed

I did it, but since it was many moons ago, I can't remember how.

As soon as I get to my scratched notes, I'll try to recover that information

for you.

This is the setup I have too and at the time I had to call Sandy to get the final word.  I recall just wiring up the fuel system per Van's drawings and just splicing in the line going to the EIS and don't bother with the resister.

  

 I think this is in the archives as well.

I just double checked.

  

  The exciting voltage from Van's fuel gauges will allow you NOT to use the GRT EIS supplied resistors.  And you can "T" off the return voltage form the sender to the EIS without any additional work.
