I have fitted an airworld capacitance fuel system monitor to each of the two tanks in my FalcoF8L.The output is stated as 8ma maximum.
Page 3-10 states that I will require Dynon's Capacitance to Voltage Converter. Please advise if this will suffice.G.Brothwood

The Capacitance to Voltage Converters are designed specifically for the plates in some Van's RV models. They are looking to measure capacitance, and can deal with capacitance ranges between 50pF to 1000pF. The fact that your spec mentions a current output may mean that it is an actively powered device. In that case, the converters are not what you're after.

We haven't heard of the brand of probes you have, but if they have a variable resistance output (like a conventional float does) or a variable voltage output between 0-5Vdc, they'll work without the converters.

Fundamentally, though, what the output of these sensors?

The suppliers(Airworld (UK) Ltd. +44(0)1296714900) in the handout instructions state that the system is a capacitance system as used in Military and commercial aircraft and quote Bell, Rotorway,P51,T34 and PBY. I'll try and obtain a full tech. spec. from Airworld tomorrow.
By the way, thanks for the prompt reply.
