F30
The F30 Digital Fuel Gauge provides a digital display
for fuel level. Level can be displayed in liters/gallons or percent
(0-100%) up to 999 gallon/liters or as a percentage (0-100%) up to 6500
liters/gallons.
The F30 has been pre-programmed to work with all
known resistive type level senders with 0-30, 0-70, 0-90, 10-73, 10-180,
33-240, 40-250 ohm (and their revere) outputs made by VDO, Teleflex,
Mercury, GM, Stewart-Warner, Centroid, Aero-Tec and others and works with
both American and European style senders (senders available seperately).
Low and High Level alarms can be easily set by the
user. When activated, the built-in 85 dB alarm will sound and the display
will flash.
Five levels of backlighting can be selected and all
set-up, calibration constants, alarm values and sender characteristics are
saved in a non-volatile memory.
One of the screw terminals on the rear of the
instrument can be programmed as a NMEA 0183 serial data output line, an
external alarm output or as a fuel transfer pump control line to maintain
fuel level in a day tank between two programmable low and high limits.
All constants and sender characteristics are pre-set
during manufacture but you may alter these settings to suit your
particular needs. Sender selection can be altered over a wide range using
the front-panel switches. All information is automatically saved to
non-volatile memory.
With a press of the button you can display liquid
levels in Gallons or Litres or as a percentage (0-100%).
The F30 draws only 0.017 amps and 5 levels of
backlight (including OFF) can be selected from the front panel.
The F30 outputs a regulated 5VDC to the sender so the
reading is stable and does not change with raw battery voltage (as
standard analog gauges do).
The F30 outputs fuel level on the standard NMEA 0183
serial data line at 4800 BAUD. This ASCII information can be used to log
performance, repeat the display information at a at a remote location (see
www.cruzpro.com/rp30.html
and www.cruzpro.com/rp110.html).
If NMEA 0183 serial data is not required, then the output terminal can be
programmed as an external alarm output pin or Fuel Transfer Pump control
line.
Using the F30 with
capacitive senders such as the Centroid 3-wire 10-180 ohm or 33-240
ohm senders. Detailed instructions on setting up the Centroid
capacitive senders to work with electronic tank level gauges such as
the CruzPro FU30, TL25, TL30 and F30
