Fuel Level Sender Wiring Types
The EDM has the capability to interface to the aircraft’s fuel level system. It is also used to directly read the fuel
senders for fuel calibration (
no other equipment is needed
). To implement the EDM fuel tank gauge functionality,
the EDM is connected directly to the senders or in some cases to the aircraft’s fuel sender signal conditioner (for
example the Pennycap system typically found in Cessna). The EDM has the capability to process signals from
three types of sender signals: Resistive output, Voltage output or Frequency output. JPI provides the appropriate
interface hardware (the P5 harness and any associated signal conditioners) based on information you provided
when your order was placed. Once installation is completed, you will perform a fuel level calibration. The EDM
stores this calibration internally.
NOTE: The fuel quantity function will not be available until this calibration
has been performed successfully
.
24.1
Capacitive Sender Frequency Output Type Sender System
Although frequency output type senders are uncommon in certified aircraft, JPI supports this interface. The P5
harness has two 3 conductor cables labeled LEFT TNK and RT TANK that are connected directly to the left and
right senders. See the drawing below for basic connection information (only right tank shown for illustration
purposes). Final route the LEFT TNK and RT TANK cables as necessary, then crimp the female contacts onto each
cables GRN, BLK, RED wires, then insert them into the connector housing. Connect this to the sender’s cable
connector. Connect the white wire of the pod cable to the center insulated terminal on the sender, and the black
wire to the terminal mounted on the metal body on the sender. See illustration on following page
.
24.2
Resistive Output Type Sender System (Float type, most common)
Locate the wires that run between the existing ships fuel gauges and the senders and disconnect them. For tanks
that have more than one sender, the wiring between the senders must be retained. Make sure the senders do not
have voltage on them before connecting to the EDM. Connect the EDM to the senders using the wire pairs coming
from the signal conditioner as shown below. Note that one pair is for MAIN and the other is for AUX. Connect the
‘SIG’ wire to the senders signal terminal (typically the center stud) and the ‘GND’ wire to the closest ground terminal
near or on that sender. See illustration on following page.
