Industrial Gauges

Specialize in all aspects of harsh environment electronics manufacturing.

Fuel Level gauge operates by sending a low amperage current through the gauges’s meter to ground via a sending unit with variable resistance. The resistance of the sending units increase or decrease with the changes in pressure, temperature, etc. As the sender’s resistance varies, the amount of current allowed to flow through it to ground changes and the meter deflects, showing the level of fuel. Available for MG systems, J1939 CAN Bus or J1939 Stand-Alone systems and mechanical types.

Overview of Features:

  • 12 vDC negative ground
  • Can be adapted for 24 vDC systems
  • Available in standard or Metric values

Sizes:

Gauge Sizes Available
2″ – Hole size: 2.0625″ (53mm)

Performance Tips:

  • Calibration
    • GM Type = 0-90 ohms
    • Ford/Chrysler = 73-10 ohms
    • SW/AMC/Marine type = 240-33 ohms
  • Resistance can be measured with an ohmeter at the sender at empty and full to determine correct gauge before ordering.
