Product Information

Full details

The Innovate Motorsports MTX-D (38530) is a dual-function monitoring solution designed for performance enthusiasts and motorsports professionals who need to track critical engine health data without sacrificing dashboard space. By combining water temperature and battery voltage into a single 52mm unit, it offers an efficient way to keep tabs on cooling and electrical systems; however, users should note that accurate temperature readings depend heavily on the proper placement of the included thermistor in the coolant stream.

FAQs

Can this gauge monitor temperatures below 120 degrees Fahrenheit?

The gauge is calibrated for a range of 120-280 degrees Fahrenheit and may not provide accurate readings below the 120-degree threshold.

Is this gauge compatible with 16v racing electrical systems?

Yes, the gauge is designed to read battery voltage between 6-25v, making it suitable for standard 12v and 16v racing batteries.

Does it come with the wiring needed for installation?

Yes, the kit includes the thermistor, wiring harness, and the necessary programming cable for a complete out-of-the-box installation.

Can I change the display from Celsius to Fahrenheit?

Yes, you can toggle the unit of measurement through the gauge's settings menu.

Will this work with other Innovate loggers?

Yes, the MTX-D is compatible with the Innovate Modular Tuning System (MTS) for daisy-chaining with other devices.

Troubleshooting

Inaccurate water temperature readings

Ensure the thermistor is fully immersed in the coolant flow and verify that no air pockets are trapped near the sensor.

Gauge display is blank

Check the ground connection and ensure the switched 12v power source is providing consistent voltage.

Cannot connect to PC for programming

Ensure the programming cable is securely seated in the gauge port and that the correct driver is installed on your Windows PC.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Space-saving 52mm gauge housing
  • High-visibility digital and LED displays
  • Fully programmable warning levels
  • Complete kit includes sensors and wiring
  • Adaptable design for various dashboard styles

Cons

  • Requires precise sensor installation for accuracy
  • Limited to two specific data points
  • Programming requires PC connection for advanced settings

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation involves mounting the 52mm gauge into a standard pod or dash hole. The thermistor must be plumbed into the cooling system, preferably in a location that captures the fluid temperature after it has passed through the engine block. Ensure all electrical connections are routed away from high-heat exhaust components. You can switch between the provided black or white faces and bezels by removing the front ring of the gauge. To configure warning thresholds or adjust LED display modes, use the provided programming cable to connect the unit to a PC running the appropriate Innovate software. For long-term care, verify sensor connections during routine vehicle maintenance to ensure no corrosion or loose wiring affects the data feed.
