GEN-2 Fuel Gauges

GEN-2 Fuel Gauges

$99.95Price

The GEN-2 Fuel Gauge is designed to work with either one or two industry-standard 0 – 5 volt probes, as is common with capacitive probes, or with either one or two industry-standard resistive probes, which are often referred to as float-style probes.  Instruments are offered for both 2 1/4" and 3 1/8" panel cutouts. The current fuel level is shown as a standard dial for one or two tanks, along with a digital representation for each tank.

  • Product Features

    The RADIANT GEN-2 Single or Dual Tank Fuel Gauge shows current contents of one or two tanks and the system voltage. Time to Empty is automatically calibrated. Works with float probes or capacitance probes. Shows fuel consumption trend from two tanks over the last 15 minutes.

     

    Our RADIANT GEN-2 instrument line combines many functions into simple, small, lightweight units. They utilize sunlight readable full color high contrast LCD screens which are also friendly with sunglasses. 

     

    The Fuel Gauge instruments offer a RADIANT crafted feature: persistence.  This feature displays the last history of the information. For example, the last 15 minutes of fuel level information is shown graphically, along with the current fuel level.  This allows the pilot to look at the information on the display screen and make better-informed decisions, as opposed to the lack of history provided by traditional steam gauges.

  • 2025 Updates

    The latest version of the GEN2 Fuel Gauges have these features:

    1)  The fuel gauges now include a display area which provides tank average information. This means that the user now sees the averaged sum of two tanks in one number. This is useful for enhancing fuel management when planning a flight, and was a user requested feature.

     

    2)  The resistive versions allow usage with any type of resistive fuel sender, no matter the ohms range or the polarity. For example, one tank might have a 10 - 180 ohm sender, while the other tank might have a 240 - 50 ohm sender. Simply select the ohms value and the gauge will work.

     

    3)  The resistive gauge provides real-time indication of the sender ohms value, and the 0-5 volt (capacitive) version provide real-time indication of the incoming voltage value. These are useful for verification of the operation of the senders and for troubleshooting purposes.
