Seecting USA or European Defaut Sender In order for the gauge to be usabe before caibration, a defaut set of tank caibration and sender data is factory pre- programmed into the FU60 fue gauge. The factory defaut setup for the FU60 is for a gaon or iter tank with a ohm American type sender. To switch between ohm USA and ohm European type sender, press and hod the t key for five seconds when power is appied (unti you see the "USA" or "EU" etters). Use the t and s keys to switch between USA and EU and press the : key to save your entry. Page 18 Introduction The FU60 digita fue gauge provides a highy accurate dispay of fue remaining, trip fue, tota fue used, fue consumption rate and "Time-To-Go" at current rate. Fue can be dispayed with a resoution of 0.1 iters or gaons or as a percentage (0 to 100%). The FU60 "earns" your tank and fue sender characteristics and is accurate with any tank shape. It is compatibe with a popuar resistive fue senders, both American and European. Low and High Fue aarms can be set and the buit-in 85 db aarm wi sound and the dispay wi fash. Five eves of backighting can be seected and a setup, caibration constants, aarm vaues, etc. are saved in a nonvoatie memory. The FU60 outputs NMEA 0183 seria data or this termina may be programmed to activate an externa aarm or fue transfer pump if using a day tank. The FU60 contains a fu data editor that can be used to enter or edit the fue data & sender resistance vaues. Page 3

Page 4 Fue/Sender Data Editor Operation The FU60 software contains a simpe but effective data editor that enabes you to view, change or enter the fue eve vs sender resistance data manuay. To enter into the data editor mode, remove power to the FU60. Next, press and hod both the t and s keys whie reappying power unti "Pt-0" is dispayed. Use the t and s keys to scro through the data points at any time that the word "Pt X" is dispayed ("Pt 0", "Pt 1", "Pt 2" through Pt20 and the word "done". Press the : key to dispay the sender resistance for that particuar data point. Press the : key again to dispay the fue eve for that data point. You can use the s and t keys to modify either or both the sender resistance or fue data when that information is being dispayed. Pressing the : Page 17

Seect NMEA, Externa Aarm or Fue Transfer Mode To togge screw termina pin (C) between NMEA 0183 data output, Externa Aarm Output or to automaticay activate a fue transfer pump (based on ow and high fue aarm settings), press and hod down both the t and s keys for 10 seconds (unti you hear a ong beep). When the aarm output or fue transfer pump is activated, a +5VDC signa (10 ma Max.) is output on termina (C). The dispay shows "data","e-al" or "tfer" to indicate the currenty seected mode. In fue transfer pump mode, the dispay wi fash when the transfer pump is running. The pump wi activate when the fue eve drops beow the LOW aarm vaue and turn off when the fue eve reaches the HIGH aarm setting.

Bring the sender wires, ground, and power ines out of the mounting hoe and use a sma fat screw- Page 6 Figure 2 pump approximatey 120/16 = 7.5 gaons into the tank. The exact number is not critica. After pumping this amount of fue use the s and t keys to make the dispay read the correct number of iters or gaons that have been pumped so far. When the dispay reads correcty, press and hod the : key unti you hear a ong beep. A "2" wi now bink. Step 4 Pump additiona fue ti the tank is approximatey 2/16th fu. For exampe, if you have a 120 gaon tank, pump an additiona 7.5 gaons into the tank for a tota of 15.0 gaons. The use the s and t keys to make the dispay read 15.0 and hod down the : key unti you hear a ong beep. A "3" wi now bink. Continue this process unti the tank is fu. When the tank is fu, instead of pressing the : key, Page 15 Key Functions Page 8 Operation The t, :, and s keys are used to seect backight eves, dispay fue remaining (in iters, gaons or percent), fue used or fue consumption rate, set the ow/high fue aarms, caibrate the instrument to your tank shape and sender type, seect NMEA 0183 output, externa aarm output or transfer pump mode and other functions. After changes are made, the new information is automaticay saved to a nonvoatie memory. Setup and Caibration The FU60 wi dispay the words "NEEd CAL" on power-up unti the gauge has been caibrated to your tank. During the caibration process the FU60 "earns" the tank shape and fue sender characteristics automaticay (USA or European). This information wi be saved to memory and needs to be done ony once. For best accuracy this process requires that the fue tank be empty at the start (if not, the remaining fue wi be a reserve when the gauge shows empty) and invoves fiing the fue tank competey. Whie fiing the tank, you wi stop a number times (approximatey 16 times, 20 maximum) and te the FU-60 how much fue has been pumped into the tank at each caibration point. We recommend strongy that you practice this procedure severa times without emptying or fiing the tank to get famiiar with the process. You do not have to have a fue sender attached. Page 13
