The manual is at
www.MGLAvionics.co.za - you will find a link on the "welcome" page.
Effectively there is a small but very precisely micro-machined "thingy" inside the aluminium body of the sender. Fuel passes this object in such a fashion that the fuel rotates around the body in an axial fashion creating a vortex, suspending the object in the fuel and the object rotates with the vortex. The rotations are measured contactless by the black sensor body in the picture - this contains all the electronics, even a micro processor. The black part simply clips off so you can install the aluminium body in the fuel line easily - when done simply clip the sensor electronics onto the body. A red LED flashes when flow is detected (just as additional aid to the installer).
It's pretty simple. Most good ideas are simple.
