Fuel Used	Fuel Remaining	Fuel Required

Simplicity:

The Fuel Scan‑450 fuel management system is the finest fuel monitoring instrument available for piston engines. TSO'd for accuracy the Fuel Scan‑450 acts as your personal flight engineer: always there, working in the background, constantly monitoring you fuel consumption while you concentrate on flying the aircraft. The JPI Fuel Scan–450 features a dual display, always showing your fuel flow rates on the upper display and other measurements on the bottom. The scan rate to display these measurements can be adjusted at a user selectable rate. Every Fuel Scan–450 will interface with your panel mount or hand-held GPS. There are no extra options to purchase.

Accuracy:

The Fuel Scan‑450 relies on two very reliable fuel flow sensors. Each sensor is mounted in the fuel line prior to the fuel distributor or carburetor and measures the actual fuel flowing through the line. Inside the sensor is a turbine wheel that rotates at a rate proportional to the instantaneous amount of fuel passing through it. The rotating turbine interrupts a light beam and an optical sensor counts the pulses of the interrupted beam. A microprocessor in the Fuel Scan‑450 counts the pulses and converts the count to fuel flow. The Fuel Scan‑450 will also track the total fuel used and the fuel remaining.

Features:



	DUAL (2) Bright Displays showing Fuel flow, GPH, all the time. Brand-X’s FP-5L has one LCD (gray on gray) display that turns black at TSO temperatures. FP-5L/FP-5 is NOT TSO’d			Remote “Warning Light” programmable with Low fuel and low time warning.

	LARGE Digits for excellent viewing in direct sunlight. FS-450 display passed TSO-C44b and Operated at -67 oF to +180 oF.			Automatically calculates K- factor for excellent 1% accuracy

	FAA TSO for Reliability and Accuracy, a 3 year warranty.			Return line systems (Pressure Carburetor) and gravity flow, no problem.

	Talks to all GPS’s including Garmin's 430/530 and all handheld 195/295 etc. Displays gallons required to next waypoint or destination at no additional cost. FP-5L does not report “gallons to destination”. FP-5L does not work with a “handheld” GPS.			Automatic reminder (flashing digits) to update Fuel added. Fuel added Can be set after take-off not possible with the FP-5L/FP-5

	Programmable display for Gallons, Pounds, Liters. No imperial gallons .			TSO’d for use in turbo-prop aircraft.

	Programmable display for Gallons, Pounds, Liters. No imperial gallons .			When your, EI, Hoskins, or Shadin fails upgrade it to an FS-450 using old transducer.

	“USED” Total fuel used can be set to zero at any time during flight.			Clock size, 1.5” deep, 2 1/4” hole, 5.0 oz. wt., Transducer 3 oz. wt.

	Twin and Single FS-450 fit a 2.25 diameter instrument hole. Cue lights removed on twin.

Fuel Used (USD)		Fuel remaining (REM)		Hours and minutes remaining (H.M.)
How much fuel has been used since you last refueled. This number will always become larger as fuel is consumed. You can instead show the fuel used on a long multi-fuel stop flight and we will see later in this video how to do that.		How much total fuel remains in the aircraft. Only total fuel remaining in the aircraft is calculated.		Based on the current fuel flow rate, displays the remaining endurance time. This parameter is most meaningful during cruise. During sea-level climb the fuel flow rate will be almost twice that of cruise and the endurance indication will be about half of actual. On the other hand, during a power reduction descent, the endurance will indicate more time than is actually available when flying at cruise power.

Fuel Required to Waypoint/ Destination (REQ)		Fuel Reserve (RES)
This parameter will be displayed only if your FS 450 is receiving flight data from your GPS (this is a standard feature which is included with the Fuel Flow option). This will tell you how much fuel is required to get to the next waypoint or destination programmed on your GPS, based on your current fuel flow rate and present position.		Fuel reserve when you arrive at your next waypoint. This parameter will be displayed only if your FS 450 is receiving flight data from your GPS (this is a standard feature which is included with the Fuel Flow option). This will tell you how much fuel reserve you can expect when you arrive at your next waypoint or destination programmed on your GPS, at the current fuel flow rate.
