Specifications, Installation and
Operation Instructions for the
Belite RADIANT Fuel Gauge
LAST UPDATED: May 2017
The Belite RADIANT Fuel Gauge
is designed to provide fuel level
and historical usage informa-
tion to the pilot in a single, small
lightweight enclosure. The unit
is not TSO'd or PMA'd. Use only in
appropriate aircraft as a backup
to certified instruments in VFR
conditions.
As opposed to traditional needle
'steam gauges' , which often
work poorly and provide only a
single dimension into the fuel
use situation, this new RADIANT
gauge provides current fuel
levels and fuel use trends using
an unusually brilliant, full color
LCD screen.
These fuel gauges also provide
predictive time to empty. This
calculation is based on the last
six minutes of fuel usage, and
displays a value whenever the
calculated time is less than 99
minutes, and fuel is still in the
tank. The value is provided
independently for each tank.
And if you'd like your tanks
designated as something other
than LEFT or RIGHT, you can
configure that as well. Main,
Left, Right, Header, Aux.. are all
available labeling options.
If you are running with just
one tank, you may turn off the
second half of the display.
Another big plus is the ability
to use any kind of automotive
fuel sender. You can tell the unit
BELITE ELECTRONICS is a Division of BELITE AIRCRAFT - Wichita, Kansas
if the ohms runs big to small,
or small to big. (Automotive
senders are often reversed from
the aircraft standard.)

    When utilized as a voltmeter, the gauge has an accuracy of 1%. This means that an input from a probe of 4.00 volts would be displayed within the range of 3.96 and 4.04 volts.
