4. Daqu channel configuration: Use Nesis/Aetos/Emsis/Blu to enter Daqu
channel configuration values. Consult values given in tables 14 and 15.
All steps so far are necessary to get raw readings from sensor. In the
active (capacitive) case, the readings will be voltages in 0-5 V range. In
the case of resistive sensor the readings will be resistances in the 0-200
(400) Ohm range.
5. Finally, these raw readings must be converted into liters/US gallons.
This step is called the tank calibration. This is not covered in this
manual. Please refer to the Nesis/Aetos/Emsis/Blu manual for more
details.
9.5.2
Installation
Before installing fuel level sensor into fuel tank, ensure that the tank is com-
pletely empty. Make sure to ventilate the tank – fuel vapours are highly
explosive. Fuel level sensor must be grounded at all times. Ground connec-
tion must never break to prevent any electrical sparks near or inside the fuel
tank. When removing fuel level sensor, make sure to disconnect other wires
before the ground wire. When (re)installing fuel level sensor, connect the
ground wire first.
9.5.3
Resistive Fuel Level Sensors
Connection principles for resistive sensors were already given in section 3.3,
starting on page 16.
Typical configuration for a sensor from Figure 27 is shown in Table 14. The
filter time shall be set to maximum.
This softens the response.
Several
resistance ranges can be selected from the sensor list. Select the one, which
fits your sensor the most. The most frequent one is
Res 400 Ohm
, but
Res
160 Ohm
is also often used.
Channel A can be also used for same purpose, but channel A is using weaker
measuring current, which may yield to problems with sensors where mech-
anism is in contact with fuel. Channel A works fine with reed-relay based
sensors, where mechanism is protected from fuel.
9.5.4
Active Sensors
In most cases, active fuel level sensors are capacitive ones. They require some
input power to operate. Please consult the sensor manual for correct voltage.
