Fluid_Trac Interface to Microprocessor Controlled Fuel Gauges/Digital Instrumentation

From SSI Technologies, Inc - Controls Division
 

 
This application note covers the Fluid-Trac® 3-wire liquid level sensor used as a replacement for a standard 33-240 Ohm resistive float sender, reed-switch tube sensor, or capacitive tube sender to interface with microprocessor-controlled fuel gauges or digital instrumentation. (I.e. electronic dashes). Some fuel monitoring systems consist of three components - a liquid level sender; a microprocessor and a fuel gauge or digital instrumentation. The liquid level sender measures the level of fuel in the tank. The liquid level sender sends the information to microprocessor which then sends the data to the fuel gauge or digital instrumentation to display the signal generated level. One common liquid level sender is a 33-240 Ohm resistive float sender. It consists of a float attached to an actuating arm (rod) with a variable resistor (potentiometer) mounted at the end of this rod. These devices tend to be inaccurate especially when used in irregular shaped tanks.
