I GENERAL OPERATION
The FS-450 Fuel Scan uses asmall turbine transducer that measures the fuel flowing into the engine.
Higher fuel flow causes the transducer turbine to rotate faster which generates a faster pulse rate. Prior to
engine start you inform the FS-450 Fuel Scan of the known quantity of fuel aboard, and it will keep
track of all fuel used.
Start Up Fuel : After initial self-test, you will be asked to inform the FS-450 of start up fuel. The
FS-450 will display (or or ) for one second, and then flash
your fuel tank configuration. Tap the AUTO button to select one of the four following fueling choices on
the left column of the chart.

The FS-450 has programmable alarms. When the remaining amount of fuel falls below the alarm limit the
bottom display will show the amount of fuel REMaining and the specific cue light will flash. When the
remaining time falls below the alarm limit the bottom display will show the MINutes of fuel remaining and the
specific cue light will flash. When an alarm is displayed, tapping the STEP button will temporarily disable the
alarm indication for the next ten minutes. When an alarm is displayed, holding the STEP button until the
word appears will disable that alarm indication for the remainder of the flight. After initial self-test,
you will be asked to inform the FS-450 of start up fuel. The FS-450 will display (or
liters or pounds) for one second, and then flash until any button is
pressed. The display will pause at each parameter for a few seconds in the Automatic indexing mode. In the
Manual indexing mode, tap the STEP button to advance to next parameter. Holding the STEP button will
display the previous parameters in the sequence (rapidly backwards).
Digital display for numeric readouts and messages: top display is fuel flow and the lower display
for all other parameters.
