SV-EMS-220/221 Installation and Configuration
SkyView System Installation Guide - Revision R 7-47
 Install the Fuel Flow Transducer with the three wires pointed UP.
 Install a fuel filter UPSTREAM of the fuel flow sensor to screen out debris.
 For best measuring performance, the fuel should travel uphill by one to two inches (25-50
mm) after leaving the fuel flow sender.
 Placement of the fuel flow sender relative to other items in the fuel system like fuel pumps
is left to the builder. It is common to place the sender downstream of any auxiliary electric
boost pumps but upstream of the engine driven fuel pump.
Due to vibration issues, never connect the sensor directly to the engine.
Do not use Teflon tape when screwing in any of the fittings.
EI “Red Cube” Installation
The Electronics International “Red Cube” FT-60 flow transducer has ¼” female NPT ports. Do
not exceed a torque of 300 inch-lbs. (.112 Nm) when installing fittings into the transducer. The
Red Cube FT-60 should NOT be installed with its wires pointing DOWN (the best situation is
with the wires pointing UP). The fuel line on the outlet port should not drop down after exiting
the transducer. This configuration can trap bubbles in the transducer, causing jumpy readings.
The inlet port, outlet port, and flow direction are marked on the top of the FT-60.
Rotax Placement Recommendations
If installing on a Rotax 912, review Figure 40 for recommendations specific to these engines.
