Magnetic Field Fuel Level Senders - Resistance Output


 Another Day And Another New Fuel Level Sender Configuration @ CiES 


While we discussed the Universal Output Sender in a previous blog post, it's much better to talk about an actual fuel level sender we are sending off to it's intended OEM manufacturer.   

This new configuration will output an equivalent resistance to be read by a gauge or the aircraft MFD.   While it appears on the surface to be easy it is actually the result of a 3 year effort to provide an output suitable for the aviation environment.   

Our senders are natively frequency output based, and this output has proven to work very well in our OEM and retrofit applications for Cirrus Aircraft,  but what we needed to do was convert that frequency to either a voltage or resistance output.

So we manipulate this native output to provide a variable voltage or a variable resistance.  

This unit for a new customer contains everything we wanted to provide;


  • Frequency Output Fuel Level
  • Slave Sender Input
  • Resistance Output Fuel Level
  • Fuel Temperature 

It is the culmination of making a Fuel Sensor that is compatible with most platforms out on aircraft & helicopter platforms in the field.
