D. The flow transducer must be mounted so the wires exiting the transducer are pointing up.
E. Before connecting any hoses, thoroughly clean them and insure they are free of any loose material. High
air pressure may be used, however, do not allow high air pressure to pass through the flow transducer.
F. When mounting a Fuel Flow Transducer make provisions for the Fuel Pressure Transducer as necessary.
You may want to consider using some Fittings and Hoses shown below. Note: DO NOT EXCEED a torque of
15 ft. lbs. or screw the fittings tighter than two full turns past hand tight, whichever happens first.
Fittings:
#4 Straight - AN816-4-4D
#6 Straight - AN816-6D
#8 Straight - AN816-7D
#6 45' - MS20823-6D
#4 90' - MS20822-4-4D
#6 90' - MS20822-6D
1/4" NPT Flare
Hose Fittings:
Stright - MS24587-XX, Stratoflex 300-, Aeroquip 400-
45' - MS27226-XX, Stratoflex 646- and 640, Aeroquip 980006
90' - MS27224-XX, Stratoflex 649- and 643, Aeroquip 980005
NOTE: The Stratoflex teflon hose can be much more flexible
and easier to route than most existing hoses. If you have a hard
to fit installation, consider this hose.

3. Install A Functional Module:
A Functional Module is a small box with circuitry used to convert pressure, temperature, voltage, amps, etc.
to an appropriate signal the FP-5(L) can display. This signal can be connected to the Aux Channel of the FP-5(L).
These modules are small and light and are tie wrapped under the instrument panel. They come with a circular
connector so they may be installed and removed easily.
Install any Functional Module at this time. Installation Instructions for the various Functional Modules
come with the modules and are supplements to this installation manual.
4. Install the Circular Connector:
Starting from under the instrument panel, route the circular connector wire harness up to the instrument
mounting location. (See the Wiring Diagram at the back of this manual). Place the circular connector about 8
inches back from the panel. Tie wrap the harness in place approximately 1 foot back from the circular connector.
This will allow the harness to be flexible and accommodate varying lengths in instrument wires. Be sure these
wires do not obstruct the freedom of travel of any controls.
