Page 2 of 4

Do not install a non-certified CGR-30C (CGR) in a certified aircraft. A certified CGR lists the applicable TSO numbers at the bottom of the Model Label.

Before starting the installation make sure the unit will fit in the location you intend to install it without obstructing the operation of any controls.

If the CGR is configured to monitor the aircrafts fuel tanks, the CGR must be calibrated to the aircraft fuel system and the CGR's accuracy must be verified before flying the aircraft.

The accuracy and proper operation of each function displayed on the CGR should be verified before the aircraft is released for flight.

When the installation is finished, inspect the system for loose fittings, connections, clamps, probes and inspect for leaks, chafing, obstructions, heat damage and anything that may cause unsafe flight before the 1st run-up, after the 1st run-up and after the first flight.

Before allowing the aircraft to be flown, verify the instrument markings displayed on the CGR screens are accurate with the aircraft’s POH for every function displayed on the CGR.

Before allowing anyone to operate the aircraft they must read the Operating Manual including the Important Notice there in. Keep the Operating Instructions in the aircraft at all times.

The use of the CGR requires recurring training for any pilot who will be flying the aircraft in

which it is installed. Recurring training should include reading the Operations Manual and seeking a flight instructor for proper interpretation of information being displayed to the pilot.

Important Fuel Level Considerations:

DO NOT RELY SOLELY ON THE FUEL LEVEL DISPLAYED ON THE CGR TO DETERMINE THE FUEL LEVELS IN THE AIRCRAFT. The use of the CGR does not eliminate or reduce the necessity for the pilot to use good flight planning, preflight and in-flight techniques for managing fuel. It is important the pilot adopt the practices listed below. If you are

not familiar with these techniques, contact the FAA to acquire proper training.

1. A copy of the Operating Manual must be in the aircraft at all times.

2. Flight Planning - Always calculate the fuel requirement for each leg of a flight, including any

alternate plans for bad weather. Keep this information available in the aircraft during the flight. Keep a chart of the published fuel flows for various flight/engine conditions in the aircraft. Keep a chart of the measured fuel flows for various flights in the aircraft. Measured fuel flows can be considerably different from published figures. This usually is due to old, inaccurate engine instruments.

3. Preflight - Do not rely on the CGR to determine the fuel level in the fuel tanks. The pilot must visually check/measure the fuel levels in the tanks before every takeoff.

Crosscheck the measured fuel levels with the displayed levels on the CGR. Also, crosscheck these levels with the fuel requirements for the flight listed in your flight plan.

4. In Flight - Make the CGR part of your normal instrument scan. Crosscheck the fuel levels

displayed on the CGR with your flight plan at each leg of the flight or every 30 minutes

(whichever happens first). If there is a discrepancy, land the aircraft at the nearest airport and verify the fuel levels. Discrepancies should be taken seriously.

5. New Pilot or Owner of the Aircraft - If there is a new pilot or owner of the aircraft, it is

the previous aircraft pilot/owner’s responsibility to insure the new pilot has read this manual and is aware of any accuracy limitations and other important considerations. All limitations and operating characteristics learned from operating the CGR must be passed on to the new pilot/owner.

If you do not agree or are unwilling to comply with the information/requirements contained within this Important Notice, returned for a refund. Contact Electronics International Inc. for details.

1.1 System Description:

The CGR-30C Glass Panel Engine Monitor installation consists of four major components: CGR Display, Engine Data Converter (EDC-33P), Probes, Transducers & Modules, and the Wiring and Extension Cables.

1.1.1 1.1.1

1.1.1

1.1.1 1.1.1

The CGR-30C (CGR) display measures 3.25" wide by 3.25" high by 4.36" deep and is designed to be mounted from behind the aircraft instrument panel into a standard 3 1/8" (3.125") hole.

The 25-pin D-sub connector on the back of the CGR display is used to interface the CGR to the EDC-33P, Power & Ground, Master Warning and Caution Lights and Audio Panel (experimental only).

1.1.2 1.1.2

1.1.2

1.1.2 1.1.2

The EDC-33P (Engine Data Converter, "EDC") converts all of the engine and aircraft system signals into serial data. This data is transmitted to the CGR display via one wire 5V-Serial Bus. Up to two EDC’s can be connected to the CGR display. The EDC measures 4.5" long by 3.5" wide by

2.2" high and is to be mounted on cockpit side of the firewall or in an equipment bay. The EDC

reduces the wire bundle to the instrument panel by over 100 wires. There are three 37-pin D-sub connectors that interface the EDC to the various probes, transducers and modules. A single EDC may be used to drive multiple CGR display units.

become semi-permanent. Everything else (CGR, EDC, Probes and Modules) can be easily disconnected and removed.

1.2 Operational Overview:

The CGR system measures a primary engine or aircraft function using a probe or transducer and displays that function on the CGR screen using the following steps:

A. A probe is mechanically connected to the aircraft and electrically connected to an EDC input.

The pre-wired harness provides most of the electrical connections from the probes to the EDC inputs.

B. The EDC converts the signals from the probes to a digital format and sends the data to the CGR

through the serial bus. The EDC has 33 inputs. Many of these inputs can be used to monitor various types of functions.

C. The CGR receives the data from the EDC and the data is processed through the CGR as follows:

1. The data is assigned to a function.

2. The function is assigned calibration data, units, redlines, limits etc.

3. The function is assigned to a screen location.

4. All data is displayed at the approprate screen location.

Much of the setup for the certified CGR is done at the factory and cannot be changed by the pilot or installer. See the following Password Protection Section for more information.

1.3 Installation Overview:

The installer may want to use the “CGR-30 Installation Checklist” to install this system. The Checklist is a separate document provided with the CGR-30 system. The installer should start the installation by reviewing the CGR and EDC Wiring Work Sheets. There are four work sheets, one for each of the 37pin D-Sub connectors on the EDC and one for the CGR. The work sheets are packaged with each of the three EDC wire harnesses and one for the CGR. The work sheets provide a list of the functions and probes/transducers included with this kit. For a twin engine installation refer to appendix A4.0. The installation is achieved by performing the following steps:

A. The CGR display is installed. The CGR is mounted from behind the instrument panel in a stan-

dard 3 1/8" hole.

B. Probes and Transducers are installed.

C. Control Panels, Pots and Warning Lights are installed.

D. The EDC is installed. The EDC should be installed on the inside of the cockpit or in an instrument

bay with the connectors pointing down. For a twin-engine aircraft it can be installed on the backside (not the engine side) of the firewall with the connectors pointing down.

E. The Wire Harnesses are installed. The wire harnesses for the EDC and CGR are pre-wired and

included in the kit.

F. Field Calibration/Setup steps are performed. If Fuel Tanks are to be monitored, they must be

There are two common methods of installing a shunt in an aircraft. One method is with the shunt in the alternator lead. The other method is with the shunt located in the battery lead. The S-50 shunt that comes with the CGR-30 package may be installed using either method. The advantages and disadvantages of each method are listed below.

There are few disadvantages with either method. Although EI’s test pilot has a slight preference for the alternator lead when using the CGR, ease of installation should be the determining factor in this

installation. If more than one shunt is required, a second shunt can be installed through a FM-VA-M-(50 or 300) Functional Module. The Functional Modules come with their own installation instructions.

2.10 Install the EI P-300C Fuel Level Probes (OEM or Expermintal Only):

Install the P-300C (Capacitive) Fuel Level Probes in accordance with the aircraft manufacturer’s instructions.

2.11 Install the EI P-300M Fuel Level Sender:

The CGR-30 system can interface with an aircraft’s existing Resistive Fuel Sensors via the RFLM-4 or these resistive fuel level sensors can be replaced with the P-300M (Magnetic Float) Fuel Level Sender. The signal produced by the P-300M Sender is a linear voltage output designed to work with the CGR-30 system.

The P-300M’s float arm and travel must match the aircraft’s existing sender’s arm and travel. Due to the lack of information from aircraft manufacturers, the existing sender may need to be removed from the aircraft and sent to Electronics International. In this way the P-300M’s float arm and travel can be matched with the aircraft’s existing sender. Contact Electronics International for further information. The P-300M has the same bolt pattern as resistive fuel senders. The P-300M requires three wires to interface to the EDC (resistive senders only use one wire).

Note:Note:

Note: Calibrating the CGR-30 to a fuel tank can compensate for nonlinearity in the tank’s shape and

Note:Note: nonlinearity in the resistive fuel level sensor. The CGR cannot correct for inconsistent or non-repeatable signals from resistive fuel level senders. Unfortunately, many older resistive fuel level senders (and in some cases, newer resistive senders) exhibit some of the following problems:

- Variation in the wiper-to-element resistance (CRV).

- Stick slip problems with bearings and wiper-to-element contact.

- Windup causing jumps in readings.

- Weak wiper tension.

- Loose or worn bearings, causing fluctuations in tension and resistance.

- Worn out wiper.

- Corroded wiper.

- Corroded or worn element.

- Build up of varnish on the wiper and element.

- Water logged floats.

If you find inconsistent or inaccurate fuel level readings (due to a defective resistive fuel level sender), you must have the sender replaced. Inaccurate readings can lead to a dangerous situation. The CGR-30 depends on the fuel level sender for accurate fuel level information. Read the “Important Notice” in the CGR Operating Instructions.

The P-300M is a float type fuel level sender that uses a magnet and pickup device to detect the float position and produce the signal for the CGR-30 system. The P-300M has no wiper or resistive element and there is no tension on the bearing surfaces. It is not subject to the many problems associated with resistive type senders. The P300M has nothing to wear out or affect inaccurate fuel level readings. Also, the P-300M does not require electricity to flow through an element and wiper saturated in fuel, as is the case with resistive senders.

2.12 Install the Resistive Fuel Level Module (RFLM4-X):

To EDC Resistive Fuel

Level Inputs (Bottom Connector)

and the Fuel Level Sensor.

The RFLM-4 is a Resistive Fuel Level Module that provides pull-up resistors for 4 resistive fuel level sensors. This module is required to interface an EDC Resistive Fuel Level Input to a Resistive Fuel Sensor.

Warring:Warring:

Warring: DO NOT connect an RFLM-4 to the output of an existing aircraft’s Capacitive System,

Warring:Warring: damage to the system may occur. The small output voltage of an existing capacitive system currently drives a fuel level gauge. This output wire should be routed to one of the resistive fuel level inputs on the EDC with NO connection to an RFLM unit.

There are two RFLM-4 modules available. The RFLM-4-12V operates on a 12-volt electrical system and the RFLM-4-24V operates on a 24-volt electrical system. The appropriate model must be used.

Mount the RFLM-4-X to the inside firewall or to an equipment bay under the aircraft instrument panel. Use the holes in the bottom plate to mount the unit. Only two mounting holes are required.

Top

The EDC-33P (Engine Data Converter) converts all of the analog engine signals into serial data which is output to the CGR display via one wire (5V Serial). The EDC unit measures 4.5" long by 3.5" wide by 2.2" high. There are three 37-pin D-sub connectors that interface to the various probes, modules or direct connections to the aircraft.

Mount the EDC on the inside firewall under the aircraft instrument panel or in an equipment bay with the connectors pointing down. For a twin-engine aircraft the EDC can be mounted on the opposite side of the firewall of the engine or in the cabin or equipment bay with the connectors pointing down. Use the holes in the bottom plate of the EDC to mount the unit. Be sure you will have enough room to connect the three Dsub connector wire harnesses to the EDC. Note: If you run out of channels on the EDC, a second EDC may be installed and connected to the CGR.

will perform a good crimp but a 4 to 5 pound pull test must be performed. To install a D-sub pin onto a 20 ga. Tin Copper Wire, perform the following steps:

A. Strip the insulation back 1/8.” Be careful not to knick the wire.

B. Insert the pin into the 24 ga. D-sub Pin Crimper. The crimpers have two cavities; the smaller one is

used to crimp the bare wire and the slightly larger one is used to crimp around the insulation. Check that the pin is inserted into the crimpers properly. Also, the ears on the pin must be facing into the center of the crimp tool cavity to produce a good crimp. If the pin rotates even a little during crimping, the connection will be unreliable.

C. Insert the wire into the pin. Check that the insulation is in the strain relief crimp area but not in the

bare wire crimp area. Crimp the pin onto the wire. crimps will cause jumpy readings and are the biggest source of problemscrimps will cause jumpy readings and are the biggest source of problems

D. Pull Test: Pull (approximately 4 to 5 pounds) on the wire near the connector with one hand while

holding the connector with the other hand. If the wire pulls out of the connector or feels loose, you must start over using a new connector.

E. A well soldered connection at the crimp can be reliable. Soldering a TC wire requires a lot of heat

to produce a good solder connection. Also, when soldering a TC wire each wire should be scraped with a knife to expose fresh metal just before crimping and applying solder. Fluxing the TC wire can also help. Do not use acid core solder or acid flux, this will cause conductive paths between the connectors.

TroubleshootingTroubleshooting

Troubleshooting the CGR system can be relatively simple. First the CGR must be powered-up. This requires only a power and ground connection to the CGR. Next the EDC needs to be powered-up and communicating with the CGR. Power and ground are supplied to the EDC on two wires and the EDC communicates with the CGR on one 5V-Serial wire. A "COM" error will be displayed if the EDC is not communicating with the CGR.

The rest of the system is made up of individual functions performing independently of each other. A problem with a pressure channel will most likely be found in the connection to the transducer, the wire from the transducer to the EDC or the EDC connection. This same scenario is true for all the functions. Rarely is there any problems with the EDC or CGR. In some cases the problem can be in the setup programming of the CGR.

7.1 CGR or EDC Problem:

The CGR and EDC require power and ground to operate. The EDC also requires one 5V-Serial wire to communicate with the CGR. The EDC also supplies power to the Fuel Flow, Fuel Level, and Pressure Transducers. If these power wires become shorted, the EDC operation will be affected.

A. Symptom:A. Symptom:

A. Symptom: The CGR does not power up.

A. Symptom:A. Symptom:

1. Problem: The Power or Ground wire is open or not connected properly.

a) Action: Measure the voltage on the power and ground wires. Ohm the ground wire to

ground. Look for a short.

B. Symptom:B. Symptom:

B. Symptom: “COM” is displayed for the digital value for most functions. The EDC is not communi-

B. Symptom:B. Symptom:

cating with the CGR.

1. Problem: One of the EDC external +5 volt power supplies on the Bottom Connector is shorted to ground.

a) Action: Remove the Bottom Connector. If the COM error goes away, look for a short

on one of the +5 volt wires.

2. Problem: The Power or Ground wire to the EDC is open or not connected properly.

a) Action: Measure the voltage on the appropriate EDC pins. Ohm the Black ground wire

to ground.

3. Problem: The EDC +10 volt or one of the +5 volt supplies on the Top Connector is shorted to Ground.

a) Action: Measure the +10 volt and +5 volt supplies on the Top Connector. If one of the

voltages is low, use an ohmmeter to find the problem. If all wires ohm properly (>100 ohm when disconnected from the EDC), the Power or Ground wire to the Top Connector may be open.

4. Problem: The 5V-Serial wire from the EDC to the CGR may be open.

a) Action: Inspect the wire. Remove the connectors from the EDC and the CGR and check

for continuity.

Symptom:Symptom:

Symptom: “REF” is displayed for the digital value for all temperature functions.

Symptom:Symptom:

1. Problem: The Middle Connector on the EDC is loose or not connected. The Reference Diode on pins 10 and 28 of the EDC Middle Connector is damaged. Note: Pin 28 should measure 0 volts and pin 10 should measure around .6 volts.

a) Action: Inspect the EDC Middle Connector and measure the voltage on pins 10 and 28.

Symptom:Symptom:

Symptom: “OVR” is displayed for the digital value for a function.

Symptom:Symptom:

1. Problem: If a channel on the EDC is over ranged (>2.5 volts between the “+” and “-” inputs), an “OVR” will be displayed for that function. This can happen on a channel that is used to monitor an Annunciator, Flap or Trim function. The max input voltage for any temperature or pressure channel is +5 volts to ground. The maximum differen-

tial voltage is 2.5 volts. The VI-221 is used to drop the voltage when measuring signals that switch from ground to bus voltage.

a) Action: Measure the voltage on the EDC “+” and “-” inputs for the function with the

problem.

7.2 Pressure Problem with one Function:

Pressure is measure on the aircraft with a pressure transducer. Power (+5 volts on the Red wire) and ground (Black wire) is supplied to the transducer and a differential signal (proportional to the pressure) is supplied to the EDC on the White and Green wires.

Symptom:Symptom:

Symptom: Inaccurate, jumpy or zero reading.

Symptom:Symptom:

1. Problem: One of the four wires from the Pressure Transducer to the EDC is open.

a) Action: Measure the voltage on each transducer wire at the Pressure Transducer. The

voltage on each wire is as follows: Red wire = +5 volts, Black wire = 0 volts, Green wire = 2.5 volts and White wire = 2.5 volts.

Short the Green wire to the White wire and look for a zero pressure reading. If you do not get a zero reading, you may have an open wire.

Ohm the Black, Green and White wires at the pressure transducer to ground. The Black wire should be grounded, the Green and White wires should not.

7.3 Temperature Problem on all Channels:

Temperature is measured using a temperature probe with type K thermocouple (TC) wire. When the TC junction in the tip of the probe is heated, a small signal (approx. 23 micro volts per ‘F) is produced and monitored by the EDC on two extension wires. These extension wires must be made of type K TC material.

When measuring temperature with TC material an ambient reference temperature must be provided. This is done with a reference diode located on pins 10 and 28 of the EDC Middle Connector. The ambient temperature is added to the temperature measured at the TC junction.

Symptom:Symptom:

Symptom: Inaccurate, jumpy or zero readings on all channels.

Symptom:Symptom:

1. Problem: The Reference Diode on pins 10 and 28 of the EDC Middle Connector is damaged.

a) Action: Measure the voltage on the Reference Diode. Pin 28 = 0 volts and pin 10 =

approx. 0.5 volts.

2. Problem: One of the temperature input channels is over voltaged. This can happen on a channel that is used to monitor an Annunciator, Flap or Trim function. The max input voltage for any temperature or pressure channel is +5 volts. The VI-221 is used to drop the voltage when measuring signals that switch from ground to bus voltage.

a) Action: Measure the voltage on each of the temperature channels.

7.4 Temperature Problem with one Function:

Temperature is measured on the aircraft using a temperature probe with type K thermocouple (TC) wire. When the TC junction in the tip of the probe is heated, a small signal (approx. 23 micro volts per ‘F) is produced and monitored by the EDC on two extension wires. These extension wires must be made of type K TC material.

Symptom:Symptom:

Symptom: Inaccurate, jumpy or zero reading.

Symptom:Symptom:

1. Problem: One of the two wires from the Temperature Probe to the EDC is open or shorted to ground.

a) Action: Remove the extension cable from the probe. Ohm both wires to ground. Each

wire should measure 12.1K ohms to ground.

2. Problem: The temperature probe has a problem.

a) Action: Ohm between the two leads of the temperature probe. You should get a short

(<10 ohms)

Ohm one lead of the probe to ground. You should get an open (> 100K ohms).

7.5 RPM Problem:

For an engine with magnetos, a pulse is produced on the P-lead for each power stroke of the engine (three pulses per revolution for a six cylinder engine). The pulses can be in the hundreds of volts. An Isolator is connected between the P-lead and the EDC RPM inputs. The EDC monitors both magnetos.

The RPM reading for each RPM channel can be viewed in the "Function Configuration" screen found in the "System Config Screens Menu." This screen can be very helpful when troubleshooting.

Symptom:Symptom:

Symptom: Inaccurate, jumpy or zero reading.

Symptom:Symptom:

1. Problem: An Isolator was NOT used between the EDC RPM channel and the P-lead at the back of the Mag Switch. The signal on the P-lead is hundreds of volts and if an

isolator is not used in series with this wire, damage to the RPM input on the EDC could occur.

a) Action: Check that there is an Isolator(s) in line with the RPM signal wires from the

EDC.

If only one RPM channel is working, swap the wires to the EDC RPM channel and see if the problem follows the EDC channel or the wire to the P-lead.

2. Problem: The Isolators in line with the EDC are incorrect.

a) Action: If the RPM reading is jumping high, add a “47” or “79” Isolator in series with

the existing Isolator. The signal from the P-lead is too strong.

If the RPM signal is from an electronic ignition, there should NOT be any Isolators in the wire to the EDC. The EDC RPM input triggers at 3 volts.

7.6 Fuel Flow Problem:

Fuel Flow is measured using a Flow Transducer. Power (+10 volts on the Red wire) and ground (Black wire) is supplied to the transducer from the EDC. A rotor in the transducer spins and produces pulses (0 to +5 volts) on the White wire. The +5 volts portion of the pulse on the White wire comes from a pull-up resistor in the EDC. The K-factor found in the “Fuel K-Factor" screen calibrates the pulses to produce a flow rate.

Symptom:Symptom:

Symptom: Inaccurate readings.

Symptom:Symptom:

1. Problem: The K-factor is incorrect.

a) Action: Check that the K-factor (found in the “Fuel K-Factor" screen) is correct for the

transducer installed in the aircraft (FT-60 red cube = 68,000, FT-90 gold cube = 33,800 and the FT-180 black cube = 22,400).

Symptom:Symptom:

Symptom: Inaccurate, jumpy or zero reading.

Symptom:Symptom:

1. Problem: A wire is open, shorted or mis-wired.

a) Action: Measure the voltage on the transducer wires from the EDC at the Flow Trans-

ducer. The Red lead = +10 volts, Black wire = 0 volts, White wire = + 5 volts with the White wire removed from the flow transducer.

Ohm the Black wire to ground. The Black wire must be shorted to ground (< 10 ohms).

Rapidly tap the White transducer wire to ground. A small fuel flow reading should show on the CGR.

1. Problem: The rotor in the Fuel Flow Transducer is blocked.

a) Action: Remove the Flow Transducer from the aircraft.

and check for the rotor to spin freely. Check for a Fuel Flow reading on the CGR when the rotor is spinning.

If the rotor in the Flow Transducer does not spin, hold the transducer over white paper and tap at all angles. Debris can lodge in the transducer and block the rotor.

Lightly blow into the transducer

7.7 Amp Problem:

Amps are measured on the aircraft using a Shunt. A Shunt has very low resistance and produces a differential voltage on the two signal wires connected to the Shunt. The differential voltage is proportional to the amperage flowing through the Shunt (50 mV at 50 Amps for the S-50 Shunt). In series with the two signal wires are two fuses to protect the wires form catching fire in case of a short. These fuses should be located a short distance from the Shunt. The wires are then routed to the EDC Amp input.

Symptom:Symptom:

Symptom: Inaccurate, jumpy or zero reading.

Symptom:Symptom:

1. Problem: A wire, fuse or fuse connection is open, shorted or mis-wired.

a) Action: Remove one of the signal wires on the Shunt and connect it to the other signal

wire. This will short the two signal wires together. The CGR should read 0.0 amps. A common problem is with the fuses or fuse holders in line with each Amp signal wire from the Shunt to the EDC. The fuses should be located a short distance from the shunt. Inspect the wires, fuses and fuse holders.

7.8 Resistive Fuel Level Problem:

Fuel can be measured in a fuel tank using a Resistive Float Sensor. The sensor must be connected to a RFLM (Resistive Fuel Level Module). This module provides a pull-up resistor to produce a voltage as the float changes resistance with changes in the fuel level. A signal wire connects the float to the RFLM and a wire connects the RFLM to the EDC. The RFLM requires bus voltage to provide the pull-up.

As the float sensor arm moves up, the resistance will change, creating a higher or lower voltage (depending on the float type) on the signal wire. The EDC monitors the signal and produces a digital value (called sensor counts) based on the signal voltage. The sensor counts can be viewed in the “Fuel Tank Calibration” screen. The sensor counts are then converted to a fuel level based on the calibration data in the “Fuel Tank Calibration” screen.

Resistive floats are notoriously inaccurate and inconsistent. Floats move up and down millions of times during their lives. They can move even when the aircraft is parked. The metal-to-metal contact of the wiper to the coil wears and corrodes. The wiper force weakens. The bearing surfaces wear. It’s not uncommon to even find new floats that work poorly. The CGR can calibrate out non-linearity, but inconsistency will always cause reading problems. It will cause you to perform the fuel tank calibration proce-

dure over and over with little or no long-term improvement. Consider using a capacitive probe or our P300M Magnetic fuel probe if at all possible.

Symptom:Symptom:

Symptom: Inaccurate, jumpy or zero reading.

Symptom:Symptom:

1. Problem: The RFLM is mis-wired.

a) Action: Remove the signal wire to the Resistive Float. Check for a very high (or low,

depending on the float type) sensor count in the “Function Mapping" screen found in the "Function Configuration" screen. Be sure you are displaying the data for the correct tank.

The voltage on the open signal wire should measure bus voltage.

Short the signal wire to ground. Check the sensor counts go to a low (or high, depending on the float type) reading.

2. Problem: The Resistive Float does not operate properly.

a) Action: With the signal wire removed, measure the resistance of the float. This should

not be done with a full or empty tank but somewhere in-between. Record the resistance reading and the variations. Lift the wing and allow it to return to its original position. Record the resistance reading and the variations. This test can be done at different fuel levels. If the resistance value does not return to its original value, you may have a defective Resistive Float.

Symptom:Symptom:

Symptom: The sensor counts decrease as you add fuel.

Symptom:Symptom:

1. Problem: The probe selected in the “Function Configuration" screen may be the wrong probe.

a) Action: Check the Probe selected in the “Function Configuration” screen. The “RFLM-

4 H=F” probe should be used on Resistive Floats where high resistance = full tank readings and the “RFLM-4 L=F” probe should be used on Resistive Floats where low resistance = full tank readings.

7.9 Capacitive Fuel Level Problem:

Fuel can be measured in a fuel tank using a Capacitive Fuel Probe. The Electronics International P-300 Capacitive Fuel Probe connects to an IMC (Interface Module) located near the probe, and to the EDC through three wires. Power (+5 volts) is supplied on the Red wire, ground is supplied on the Black wire and the fuel level signal (a 0 to +5 volt square wave) is supplied (by the P-300C) on the White wire.

As the fuel level in the tank increases, the capacitance of the probe increases. The IMC Module converts the capacitance to a frequency. The higher the fuel level, the lower the frequency of the square wave on the White wire.

The EDC monitors the signal and produces a digital value (called sensor counts) based on the signal frequency. The sensor counts can be viewed in the “Function Mapping” screen. The sensor counts are then converted to a fuel level based on the calibration data in the “Function Mapping” screen.

Symptom:Symptom:

Symptom: Inaccurate, jumpy or zero reading.

Symptom:Symptom:

1. Problem: The IMC is mis-wired.

a) Action: Measure the voltage on the three wires at the IMC Module (Red wire = +5 volts,
