I wanted to pass along this tip so that those of you with the same
EIS as me (the GRT EIS6000 that is for the Chelton) don't have to
have the same issue I had....minor, but inconvenient.
When you set up your EIS, you set it to read each aux input in
either a forward or reverse direction. By default, my unit was
set to forward. I did my fuel tank calibration, and my
fuel quantities counted down while filling the tanks. I didn't
fully understand what the readings were supposed to be doing, but
when I got done I did. As it turns out, you'll want to have
the EIS set to reverse sensing before you start the calibration.
This is all in regards to using the Van's float sensors. I don't
know what capacitance sensors would do.
Also, there's a tip on doing the calibration so that you're
not stuck like I am with 2 full tanks and nowhere to put the
gas when you do the cal. Fill one tank at a time, and when
you're done with the first tank, drain the gas and use it to
fill the other side. Then if it all comes out, you're done, and
if it doesn't, just start over on the first.
Hope that saves some time and hassle...
