Folks,

Now that I am flying the Skviews, I am planning cross country flights.  I really want to configure the system to maximize its capabilities.

I have a Gems LS-7 Fuel Level Switch in my sump tank.  It will get triggered once the fuel goes below 6 gallons.

I did read the manual, but am confused how I should set it up.  (Which wires/pins, and how to configure on EMS settings).

Can you help?  Tim

If the output is something that is a switch to ground, you can hook it up to any of the GP inputs. Configure it in the pin mapping as a contact input, and then in the sensor setup you set one range from say 0-2V, and another range from 2-5V, choose the right "colors" and names for each state (if you get it backwards you can always change it later) to set it up as a contact input on that pin. Then, use the layout editor for each of the layouts to choose your gauge and position it on the screen.
