Furuno multi fi-50 fuel sensor

[Nickwesternau]

Hi

New to the forum
Currently haveing a issue with a Furuno fi 50 not reading any NMEA 200 fuel message coming from a lowrance ep 60 fuel flow sensor. Has anyone had a issue with this type of configuration before or has anyone made this configuration work? I have wired it up every way I can think of using basic NMEA backbone wiring principles and the Furuno won’t get any info from the lowrance.

Cheers
Nick

Nickwesternau,

My understanding is that the EP60 Fuel Flow Sensor is using both PGN 127489, and another Proprietary PGN for Tank Fuel Used. It may be that this sensor may not allow the FI-504 Multi-Display to display all it's data.
