I am helping a buddy upgrade his plane from steam gauges and a Vision Microsystems engine monitor system to a GRT EFIS and GRT EIS.
The last (Hopefully last) issue is the EIS fuel level doesn't seem to be reading info from the sender from the Vision Micro .
The Vision Micro used a capacitance sender, with three wires coming out of a large threaded hex fitting. I have no idea if there is a built in converter in the actual probe or not, or if the Vision Micro unit was designed to read the sender output directly without any kind of converter.
Anybody out there dealt with this in the past, and what/how did you get the two units to play nicely with each other? I searched the archives, found multiple references to the problem, but not to the solution.
Any source or part number for the converter box------pretty sure one is needed-----to make this setup work.
Changing out the capacitance probe to a float is the last option, really do not want to even think about it.
Thanks in advance...
