I use the converter for my tank sensor (fuel) to display the level in the chart plotter. I didn't need to change any of the basic settings as I only added a tank sensor (240-33 ohms) to the network. And this encoder worked exactly as the converter is set in the basic setting on channel 1 (red cable). At first I had problems because the plotter only showed changes in level of about 8%. After consulting the company SVB (I think Mr. Claasen) it was assured that it is not because of the NKC42. On the plotter, it only shows what it is being delivered. So I bought a potentiometer from Conrad (0-250 Ohm). And connected the potentiometer on a trial basis. The NKC42 then indicates the level change in 1% steps in a reproducible manner. So it was clear to me that the NKC42 was working properly. In the current season I was able to determine that my tank sensor in the lower range (up to 41.0%) shows the level changes in 8% to 9% steps. And from 41% only in 12% - 15% steps. A German instruction manual would contribute significantly to the improvement. My tip to the company SVB --- Translate the instructions, that saves a lot of queries. And I would also spend 10 to 20 euros more if the display were alphanumeric and not the 7 segment display. I think that the parameterization would be much easier. Therefore only 4 stars.

Great for engine monitoring
Use it to monitor oil pressure, temperature and cooling water temperature on the plotter.

Kann nichts
So within 2 days I did not manage to display a single instrument from the manufacturer's possible selection on the MFD. I assume that it is NOT ME, so far I have had no problems with KUS donors, programming and networks. The description leaves more questions open than it contributes to the solution. I would also have been amazed that a device for EUR 90.- can do almost as much as a device for EUR 400.-! Go back to SVB!
