Hi Bud=2C
If I read you correctly=2C the 2000 would give me fuel flow with just one F
loscan ? I have a 912s.

It sounds like you need to look at your model as well as wire chasing 
the EIS/flow scan hookups=2C as others have so expertly given you advise 
for.  There are different variations for the GRT EIS and differences in the

wiring.

EASY WAY:  Send the unit to GRT and tell Sandy what you want.  
She'll set up the unit and send the proper wiring diagrams to suit your 
situation.  The flow scan sensor itself is very trustworthy and I doubt it

is the problem.  However if that is your only problem don't stop flying=2C 
as 
FF is a nice to have.

HARDER WAY.
Model 2000 is wired differently than Model 4000.  The older 4000 
models had to be modified for dual fuel flow.  Model 2000 and early 4000 
were set up for single fuel flow.  So power up and find out what version 
you have.  The 2000 is ideal for the 912 but not the 914.

Get to know what version you have and study the manuals.  The single 
fuel flow is OK for the 912/912S=2C and the 914 needs to have the dual fuel
 flow 
EIS 4000 mod.  Sandy at GRT can send you the wiring schematic/manuals if 
that is all you need.

Attached is an .xlsx file which is my standard wiring hookup for GRT 
EIS dual fuel flow on the Model 4000 for a 914 and it works.
Also attached is the model 2000 wiring hookup from a subie I did years ago
=2C 
note it is significantly different.  I haven't done a 2000 in 10 
years (I get them converted) so I am a bit rusty=2C but I know that for und
er 
$400 the Model 2000 can be upgraded to a 4000 the way you want it if you ne
ed 
dual fuel flow or desire additional Aux inputs.  

It sounds as if you were not supplied with the manuals from the panel 
builder=2C so have Sandy email them to you.  Hook up is a piece of cake=2C 
just 
follow the schematic. 

When you call GRT=2C be sure to explain your particular setup and version
=2C 
and they will give the the necessary recommendations and offer 
recommendations=2C If you send the EIS to them=2C they'll have the techs se
t it 
up for you.  Then it is just plug and play=2C (after you do the setup 
/ calibration procedures in the manual for proper reading of the fuel flow
=2C 
of course).

  Problems

m>

I'm 
  still in the process of inital flight testing and now finding the
Flowscan 
  always reads 0.0 on my Grand Rapids EIS.  All the connections
appear 
  correct (previous project builder).  Just wondering if anyone
could 
  suggest a way forward.

I have checked the ground and thats OK and then 
  I checked the voltage
of the power source at the connector to the sensor 
  between the red and
black wires and this was 10.6 volts which is a surprise 
  as the power
cable is connected to the regulated 12 volt supply direct from 
  the
EIS.

This may or may not be the probem but I'm now in the dark 
  with solving
this puzzle.

Is there any way to check the output from 
  the Flowscan white sensor wire?

I would welcome any 
  suggestions.   Regards
