Hi JC-

Funny, I am just doing the same thing with different equipment - I have a
296 and an Electronics Int'l FP-5L fuel totatilizer.

Pg. 158 of the 396 pilot's guide shows the pinout (I can email you the page
if you don't have it). Data out on the 396 is blue - this should go to the
GPS input on the FS-450. The 396 output needs to be set to whatever
standard JPI can read (most of the quipment can "read" NMEA). I am assuming
you'll need to buy a power/data connector with bare cable ends (the 296 did
not come with such cable) - so you can use the same cable to power the 396
and to signal-feed the JPI fuel flow. I'd terminate the 396 bare ends cable
into a DIN-5 or sub D-9 in order to have everything available (don't know
if the 396 alarms are available in aviation mode - the 296 alarms are for
auto mode only). With a DIN-5 os sub D-9 on the other end of the bare ends
cable you'll have enough pins in one connector to be able to feed the music
of 396 etc.

Good luck
Rumen

Greetings;

Does anyone have a means of connecting the new 396 to the FS-450 Fuel Flow
monitor?
A wiring diragram/hints/instructions would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks;
JC

Hi again JC-

I just found a file of the FS450 manual on my computer.
Pg. 20 of FS450 Pilot's manual Re. D 11/2001 shows the FS450 pinout.
Pin 9 is for GPS-in ("from GPS"). The signal compatibility table indicates
that most every GPS on the market today with serial output should be able
to work with FS450 to show MPG, RES(serve) and REQ(uired) (see table on pg.
8 of the pilot's manual). If this is the purpose pin 9 on the back of the
FS450 needs to be connected to Data Out (blue) of the 396.
If you are talking fuel data to GPS (the opposite scenario and different
goal), then the choices are probably much more restricted in terms of GPS
selection.

Rumen
