4.3 Verdrahtungsanweisungen

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:

• Verbinden Sie rotes Kabel from the sending unit to the Pluspol (+) of your power supply (e.g., battery positive).
• Verbinden Sie blauer Draht from the sending unit to the Minuspol (-) 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.
• Stellen Sie sicher, dass alle Verbindungen sicher und ordnungsgemäß isoliert sind.

5. Bedienung

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.
