Call Greg or Todd at Grand Rapids Avionics.  I believe that one of them was the designer/builder of the converter.  When I was building, they were very good at supporting their products.

 

From a .pdf document (http://www.grtavionics.com/PrincetonCapacitiveProbeCalibration.pdf) on the GRT web site: 

 

Limited Lifetime Warranty

Princeton Electronics, Inc. will repair or replace any probe found to have

a manufacture defect. Probes that have been shortened, or the leads cut

cannot be exchanged or returned for credit unless they are found to have a

manufacturer defect.

Worth a phone call

I believe Princeton was founded by Todd at GRT.   You might try calling GRT to see if that leads anywhere.

 

What are the frequency specs on the EI unit vs. the VMS unit?

Recently had to replace a VMS fuel probe (4-foot) with a EI unit. There is a Princeton Electronics Interface Module to convert down to 1-5 volt range needed for the guage but it appears to be dead. The lights will not come on to do the calibration. In checking the identical unit on the other wing which works fine, it's lights do not come on either.  Power was checked to both units and was OK. Without the lights, following the standard calibration instructions are impossible. Has anybody had a similar experience? Tried to contact Princeton Electronics but it is now own by  the ANDREA MANN co in south africa. There website has problem so tech support is not available.
