AeroForce Scanguage Voltage ?

So I have my Interceptor gauge installed but I am now installing my fuel pressure sensor. In previous posts, people mention needing a 5v source to go to the sensor. My kit came with a 12v regulator and the instructions say to connect the 12v green wire from the regulator to the red lead on the sensor. Did they change over to a 12v sensor? I tested the green wire and it indeed is 12v so it matches the diagram. I just want to make sure this really is a 12v sensor since most of what I have read say most sensors are 5v.

Anyone that bought an AeroForce gauge recently that can verify this, it would be greatly appreciated.

ANSWERED
I found the answer on their forum, could not get on it before. Here is a post about the change.

"I ordered a second Oil/Pressure Sensor Kit (the previous one I ordered about 6 months ago I used for measuring oil pressure) and the installation instructions are slightly different. It came with a 12V regulator and requires you to hook up to a switched circuit. The first did not. Mind you it's the same SENSO21 kit as before. So, I'm wondering if something has changed? Is the 12V regulator the same? The previous one I used stepped down the voltage to 5V. The new sensor kit also has differing slope and intercept values. The previous sensor was 37.9 slope and -18.8 intercept. The new sensor requires a 37 slope and -17.7 intercept. I'm confused? Please advise! Shall I use two different regulators and slope/intercept numbers to be safe?"

"The sensor is now 12v, not 5v. The output is slightly different.

We still have some of the old ones if you'd rather use 2 of the same. I can exchange it, just write me back at sales@aeroforcetech.com.

Todd"
