FUEL PRESSURE INDICATION ERROR ?

[johnsteichen]

I recently added the EMS function to a flying skyview system. I discovered that the fuel pressure sensor  voltage was being fed by a appearing  white/red wire that was actually pin #31 white/orange. this yielded a fuel pressure of 5.3 when it actually 0. I corrected the power supply to the correct 5v supply wire. this corrected a lack of function in a hall effect amp sensor that I could not get to work. BUT, I was getting a fuel pressure of 5.3 until I turned the aux fuel pump on ( engine not running ) the fuel pressure went over 14.7 and then red X  out of service. Do I have some wires incorrect on the fuel pressure sensor?  :-/

Hard to say without knowing a bit more about what exactly what sensor you're using and what you have selected in your sensor input mapping. You might give us a call at 425-402-0433 from your airplane.

Problem solved. This is the first time during 2 years of installation and use that I called the technical service folks.
I apparently ordered a 5 psi sensor, but failed to tell skyview which sensor it was listening to. Apparently the default fuel pressure sensor was the 15 psi version. I was impressed at the speed that the tech zeroed in on the problem.
Impressed as usual with you guys.

Hi John
I'm wondering how you mounted the Hall Effect Sensor. Mine is just the donut with three wires and I am at loss as how to secure & mount the unit.
appreciate any help you have.
Thanks
