III.

Usable fuel indication

a) In the flight compartment Fuel quantity indicator, test switch, capacitance trimmer, and fuel summation unit.

b) Refuel station at the wing an indicator test switch and refuel quantity indicator for each fuel tank (operate only when the access door for the refuel station is open).

IV.

FQIS used is electronic type Construction a) Tank unit

The tank units are cylindrical capacitors which are installed throughout each fuel tank to sense fuel level variations.
b) Compensator Unit

A compensator unit in each fuel tank acts as a sensing element to maintain a linear relationship between fuel dielectric properties and fuel density.

c) Fuel Quantity Indicator The fuel quantity indicators show the weight of fuel in the fuel tanks.

d) Refuel Quantity Indicator Refuel quantity indicators on the P15 panel show the weight of fuel in the fuel tanks. The refuel quantity indicators help the ground crew in refuel or defueling operations.

e) Fuel Summation Unit The fuel summation unit takes the voltage signals for each fuel quantity indicator and sums them for an output voltage signal representative of the total fuel remaining.

f) Capacitance Trimmers Capacitance trimmers are used to compensate for changes in system stray capacitance and to adjust the fuel quantity indicator.

g) Fuel Measuring Sticks The fuel measuring sticks are used to measure the fuel quantity in the No. 1 and No. 2 tanks by mechanical means.

V.

OPERATION a. The fuel quantity indicating system operates on 115v ac power from the standby bus or the external power bus. b. The tank units function as variable capacitors - their capacitance value is calculated from the fuel level in the fuel tank. c. Current through the tank unit side of the bridge is compared to the current of the opposite phase in the balancing side of the bridge. d. A change in the fuel level changes the capacitance of the tank units and causes imbalance in the bridge circuit. e. The imbalance is found by a phase-sensitive amplifier. f. The amplifier controls an induction motor, which moves a rebalance potentiometer wiper on the reference side of the bridge until the circuit becomes balanced again.

g. The pointer on the fuel quantity indicator face is connected to the wiper and changes position proportionally to the wiper movement.
