Product overview

The standard Flowtrecs Android BT uses a large, bright 7-inch touchscreen and a wireless Bluetooth connection to the sensor module. The panel is not waterproof: install it only inside an enclosed boat, in a dry cabin or at a fully protected indoor helm. The system supports configurations with 1, 2 or 4 FS-40 sensors.

Key features

  • Supports 1, 2 or 4-sensor variants: 1 for one petrol engine, 2 for two petrol engines or one diesel engine, and 4 for two diesel engines.

  • The panel is not waterproof and requires a dry mounting position inside an enclosed boat.

  • Displays consumption, fuel economy in km/l, RPM, speed, voltage, trip statistics and MOB.

  • A 1000-nit screen improves readability in bright surroundings.

  • GPS supports maps and navigation data.

  • Bluetooth reduces the wiring needed between the measuring module and display.

  • The sensor kit is factory-calibrated and configured for the ordered version. No manual calibration or selection of sensor type, range or count is needed for first use.

  • The display supplied with the kit is already paired with the Bluetooth module.

  • Power and connection components for the variant.

Connecting the RPM signal

Reading RPM from the ignition signal of a carbureted petrol engine requires an additional Tacho Pulse Limiter. Two versions are available: IN — for inboard engines and OUT — for outboard engines.

For fuel-injected engines (EFI/DFI), a limiter is typically not needed when using a suitable electronic tachometer output.

The limiter is used only for RPM readings and is not required to measure fuel consumption.

Diesel: an additional Hall sensor may be required if the engine does not provide a suitable electronic RPM signal.

System selection

Match the sensor to your engine.

Provide the engine model and count, fuel type, return-line layout and, if known, pump flow. We will help select the right model, sensor count and range.
