New BINGO 3 liquid sensor helps stop fuel management errors

James Wiebe, president and CEO, was involved in an aircraft accident in Anchorage, Alaska, with the believed cause due to fuel starvation. As a result, Radiant Technology LLC, a Belite Enterprises company, is changing and improving its line of fuel management products. Our first announcement is our new Bingo 3 fluid detector.

An improved version of the Bingo fluid detector is now shipping. The latest version accurately identifies the presence or absence of liquids of any type and is designed for tank installation in a nearly unobtrusive manner. It is normally installed in a fuel or header tank in a location which alerts the pilot to the presence or absence of fuel at that location.

The new product is aimed at reducing accidents based on fuel monitoring errors, and is inexpensive, starting at $39.95 for the base sensor (BINGO-3A).

"After my recent fuel related accident in Alaska, I've put more thought into effective fuel and fluid monitoring," said James Wiebe, CEO of Radiant Technology. "We've increased ease of installation and reduced cost as well. We've also made the sensor reliable with more fluid types."

The new version of Bingo is available in different versions:

* Base version, ideal for OEM integration and also general technical users ($39.95,

part # Bingo-3A).

* Base unit with tiny base interface board, which allows use of +12 volts and provides an LED driver output and EFIS output ($59.95, part # Bingo-3B).

* Base unit with advanced remote control board, which allows use of +12V, and also has a dimmable LED display which may be turned off and a 6' plug and play wiring harness ($99.95, part # Bingo-3C).

The BINGO 3 Fluid Detector is one in the line of aviation instruments offered by Belite Enterprises through its Radiant Technology line of products. The Radiant instrument line combines many functions into simple, small lightweight units and uses sunlight readable full color high contrast LCD screens.

Belite Enterprises manufactures the experimental aircraft, the Chipper, through Chipper Aerospace; and through RADIANT Technology, it develops innovative instrumentation for aircraft.
