4.3 Kablolama Talimatları

The sending unit has two wires: a red wire for positive connection and a blue wire for negative connection. Connect these to your fuel gauge and power source as follows:

  • Bağlan kırmızı tel from the sending unit to the pozitif (+) terminal of your power supply (e.g., battery positive).
  • Bağlan mavi kablo from the sending unit to the negatif (-) terminal of your power supply (e.g., battery negative).
  • Connect the sender signal wire (typically black or yellow on the gauge) to the signal output of the sending unit.
  • Tüm bağlantıların güvenli ve düzgün bir şekilde yalıtıldığından emin olun.

5. Operasyon

Once installed and wired, the fuel sending unit will transmit the fuel level to your compatible 240-33ohm fuel gauge. The gauge will display the current fuel level (Empty to Full).

5.1 Fuel Gauge Compatibility and Setting

This sending unit outputs a signal of 240 ohms when empty and 33 ohms when full. For accurate readings, your fuel gauge must be set to match this 240-33ohm standard. Refer to your fuel gauge's manual for specific instructions on how to adjust its settings.
