Page 14: Easy Software Update
1.4 EASY SOFTWARE UPDATE The user can download any new firmware, when available, from Flybox website, connect a USB pen drive to the instrument and freely update it with the last features. With one USB connection only, it will be possible to update every instrument installed in the panel.
Page 15: Interfaces
2 separate CAN BUS: they can be used to connect the Omnia57 instruments together, to interface them with other Flybox instruments or with external devices like Engines ECUs or new devices that will be possibly developed in the future.
Page 16: Section 2 - Mechanical Installation
Omnia57 Family System Overview MECHANICAL INSTALLATION 2.1 MECHANICAL DIMENSIONS The Omnia57 Fuel L-P instrument fits in a standard 2 ¼” (57 mm) panel cutout; it's recommended to choose a position that permits optimal display visibility. It's furnished with four M4 screws to install it to the panel, if you use other screws consider that the maximum thread length inside the instrument body is 10mm (see the picture below).
Page 17 FLYBOX ® Mechanical installation NOTE: For an installation without interference, consider making a hole of at least 57.5 mm diameter Omnia57 Fuel L-P Installation and User Manual, Safety Instructions and Warning Booklet Rev. 1.0...
Page 18: Fuel Level Sensors Installation
FLYBOX ® Mechanical installation 2.2 FUEL LEVEL SENSORS INSTALLATION Omnia57 Fuel L-P has 4 fuel level inputs that can be connected to both resistive sensors (with max resistance of 300 ohm) and capacitive sensors (with output voltage range 0~5 Volt).
Page 19: Important Considerations
In the example of pic.1 of next page, a tank contains 7 litres but the fuel sensor cannot measure that lower part of the tank, so Omnia57 Fuel L-P will display "0" (zero) for a fuel level of 7 litres or less.
