Calibration

The fuel transducer supplied with the fuel flow meter
will provide readings at better than 5% accuracy.
Individual calibration will increase this level of
accuracy to better than 2% over a fuel flow range of

10.0 to 120 litres per hour. Use the following steps to
calibrate your fuel flow meter:

1. Reset the total log value to zero (see previous
page).

2. Use a known amount of fuel. The larger the
amount the more accurate the calibration will
be.

3. Take note of the actual volume of fuel used and
the fuel used indicated by the total log. If these
two totals are different the instrument may
require calibration.

with ignition, alternators, inverters and radio
transmitters. Electrical power supply
connections should always be as short as
possible.

Installation of the fuel flow
transducer

The fuel flow transducer is designed for installation
in Coast Guard approved 9.5 mm
(3/8”) flexible fuel line. The transducer MUST be
installed AFTER the main fuel filter. It should be
located well away from any area where it will be
effected by excessive heat or vibration from the
engine. It is preferable to mount the transducer in a
vertical position.

Appendix B - Troubleshooting Chart

No display:

1. Check DC power connections and DC polarity with voltmeter.

2. Check fuse.

No flow reading indicated:

1. Check connection to flow transducer.

2. Remove transducer from fuel line, blow through transducer, a whistling noise will indicate the
turbine is rotating.

Low flow reading indicated:

1. Check that the gauze filter is clean. If the filter is not installed fine strands may clog up the
turbine.

2. Check calibration is correct.

High or erratic reading:

Check fuel connections are well made. Air in fuel lines will cause erratic or high readings.
