What Magnetic Sensor are you using and where/how is it mounted?

The HOBBS timer is the actual Engine running time. It emulates an Electric HOBBS Clock. Set the HOBBS Minimum RPM to half your idle speed to time whenever the engine is running.

Fuses exist to protect the wiring. Not the device. Assuming you power the EFIS and RDAC with 18 AWG wire. 18AWG is rated at 10 amps at 60°C.

I have discovered that along with the Fuel Level Alarm not working, the Fuel Flow Alarm also does not work, while the Fuel Pressure Alarm Works just fine. Co...

I have tried deleting and rebuilding the Alarm to no avail.
Thanks, Bill.
