FCM - 100
The mobile FCM - 100 fuel consumption meter
Measurement of fuel consumption for mobile automotive
measurement technology – For billing to the nearest litre,
training sessions, driver training, vehicle comparison tests etc.
The FCM - 100 is a fuel consumption meter developed to be
installed in vehicles and stationary engines, and is the
product of many years of experience spent developing semimobile fuel consumption meters for our performance test
stands. It is also usable with all injection systems currently
available on the market.
This measurement unit is suitable for diesel engines up to
365 kW/around 500 HP. The scope can optionally be
extended up to 1840 kW/around 2500 HP, although precise
measurement for engines under 200 HP is not possible in
this case. The measurement is made using an oval wheel
meter with precision of under 1%.
Advantages
The measuring device consists of a stable aluminium
housing and can be installed right next to the engine. It is
advisable to mount the device on rubber dampers,
however, to minimise vibrations as much as possible.
When used in various vehicles, the FCM - 100 can be
equipped with quick-action couplers, to ensure swift and
problem-free exchange. When not in use, the quick-action
couplers on the vehicles are simply put together and the
vehicle can continue to be used without a fuel consumption
gauge.

The display (Fig. 2) can be positioned freely as desired
within the driver’s cabin and indicates the current
consumption in l/h. This real-time display encourages the
driver to ensure the engine is operating within the optimal
working range, which in turn will lead to a marked reduction in fuel consumption.
The display can also be switched to show the total
consumption of the machine, all of which facilitates precise
billing of the diesel consumed. When using the optional
storage facility (Fig. 3), the consumption figures are
recorded over a longer period and can subsequently be
sorted on any PC using Excel software. The driver can also
start a new measurement at the touch of a button, allowing
consumption to be stored per work order or customer,
which is a particularly appealing option for contractors
wishing to calculate diesel consumption.
When using a display with a memory card, the engine
speed can also be entered and recorded and during the
later evaluation, this means more accurate conclusions can
be drawn concerning the performance of the driver. Speed
is reduced either via the terminal “W“ on the alternator or
a separate speed sensor that is positioned on the engine’s
V-belt pulley, where the screw heads of the belt pulley
fixture are scanned. (Fig. 4)

For training purposes
For training purposes, the FCM - 100 can also be supplied
with a radio link. In this case, the measured data, such as
consumption in [l/h] and speed in [1/min] are sent via the
in-vehicle radio transmitter to the radio receiver on the
computer.
Specially developed dedicated evaluation software then
records this data, which can then be saved and printed out.
This facilitates subsequent analysis of the data with the
driver, and any driving errors can be pointed out to the
latter.
Based on experience, training using this system has
achieved driver saving potential exceeding 20%, simply
by applying appropriate driving methods. The radio link
range is around 4000 m in open spaces, allowing realistic
deployment of the machines.
