Rusty,
I don’t plan on running any relays,
only a warning light. So, I’ll try the middle circuit and see how that
goes. Thanks for bringing these to the group’s attention.

ELS-1100 level sensors again
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?
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.
