I have been fighting communication problems between JPI engine monitor and
my EFIS. It would not show my fuel gauge. After much frustration we
discovered that the software that was shipped with the JPI monitor was
flawed and did not have the appropriate place to indicate the fuel tanks.
After going on line and downloading the newest software all is well.
So those of you with JPI stuff put this in the memory banks for when you get
to programming stuff. Several wasted weeks and many wasted hours.

Gary with your JPI did you have just four wires going to your fuel sending units from the 950 or did you have a little box coming out with the four wires.
Just wondering I had another box converting resistance to voltage.
Thanks

I had 3 wires coming out of the JPI, L tank, R tank, and ground going directly to the Resistive units. I did have the correct “resistive” box in the ez-config, but my original software for ez-config did not let me check a left and right tank configuration. Hope that makes sense.

One other gotcha on the resistance units from Vans. If , when bending the hangar for the float, the bend going through the sender is slightly more than 90, it can "hang in the empty position. I first thought I had a defective sender even though resistance changed. I submerged the float in a bucket of gasoline and the float hung.. a slight rebend fixed the problem.
