Did you end up getting
any of these fluid level sensors? I ended up buying 3. I would like
to use them as a low-fuel-level monitor for my wing tanks. Do you have any
form of schematic that you would be willing to share? The spec sheet says
they can handle up to 40ma directly. So, maybe I could just wire them to a
couple of red LED’s. Any ideas?
Hi Mark,
I waited until the
last minute, and snagged all that weren't already spoken for. As for
schematics, go to the Gem's ELS-1100 page for
specs:
There's a link at the
bottom that says typical wiring
diagrams.
You see some asterisks
on this page, which aren't defined unless you click on the pdf download
link at the upper right of the
page:
The center (direct
load) option is what I'm using with the ELS-900's that I have on my coolant
system, and it's how I would hook up an LED. If you want to control a
pump, or something that pulls more current than it can handle directly, then use
the relay option on the bottom. Be careful how much current you
draw through the coil of the relay
though.
Cheers,
Rusty
