I removed and measured the Skysports fuel level probe (Part # FP1212S3). =
The
very mysterious and proprietary output is a variable resistance range of
about 70 - 200 Ohms. The end point levels are adjustable. Jim had it =
about
right.
=20
Marshall from Skysports sent me a message stating they had invested a =
small
fortune developing the circuit, and couldn't divulge any of the details.
Like the output signal is a proprietary detail of the circuitry? I
explained to him that when buying a "sender" unit, in effect what we are
buying is an output signal. Seems like one should be allowed to know =
what
it is.
=20
It makes no sense, so I'll assume he was spoofing me all along - some =
sort
of on-going April fools joke.
