CiES Mooney Fuel Level Senders - A Digital Fuel Sensor with Analog Outputs

Today we delivered 2 sets of CiES Mooney Fuel level senders for late mode M, R, S, & TN Mooney aircraft.

So we now have fuel level senders for the popular Mooney Bravo, Ovation, Eagle & Acclaim. 

We are now adding a new aftermarket general aviation platform every week.  

In addition CiES is adding a new OEM or commercial application every month.


Unique to CiES Fuel Level Senders:

• Set 1 - was set up for a Mooney Bravo with a voltage output for interfacing to a JPI 900 
• Set 2 - was set up for a Mooney Acclaim with a resistive output for the factory G1000 system.

CiES has the unique capability of supporting multiple platforms with the same sender design.  This sender design physically plugs into the same mounts in the aircraft.

While the float remains - CiES's method of measurement is lightyears away from the traditional potentiometer or resistive sender of the past.   CiES senders utilize a patented magnetic field technology that has more in common with the digital compass in your flight instrument or your cellphone.

Like a compass that always points north, the CiES fuel level sender always points to the float.  The sensor is precise enough to measure the angular position of that float down to tenth's of a degree and that precision is repeatable over time, temperature and vibration. 

Magnetic Field Fuel Level Senders - Resistance Output

 Another Day And Another New Fuel Level Sender Configuration @ CiES 

While we discussed the Universal Output Sender in a previous blog post, it's much better to talk about an actual fuel level sender we are sending off to it's intended OEM manufacturer.   

This new configuration will output an equivalent resistance to be read by a gauge or the aircraft MFD.   While it appears on the surface to be easy it is actually the result of a 3 year effort to provide an output suitable for the aviation environment.   

Our senders are natively frequency output based, and this output has proven to work very well in our OEM and retrofit applications for Cirrus Aircraft,  but what we needed to do was convert that frequency to either a voltage or resistance output.

So we manipulate this native output to provide a variable voltage or a variable resistance.  

This unit for a new customer contains everything we wanted to provide;

• Frequency Output Fuel Level
• Slave Sender Input
• Resistance Output Fuel Level
• Fuel Temperature 

It is the culmination of making a Fuel Sensor that is compatible with most platforms out on aircraft & helicopter platforms in the field.
