FAQs

What type of thermocouple is this sensor?

This is a K type thermocouple sensor.

What AIM devices is this sensor compatible with?

It is compatible with AIM Mychron Expansion, EVO4, EVO4S, TC Hub, MyChron4, and MyChron5, provided the correct AIM patch lead is used.

Do I need any special cables to connect this sensor?

Yes, you need a specific AIM patch lead. A 712-DIN 4 pin patch lead is required for EVO4/EVO4S loggers, and a 712-DIN 3 pin patch lead is required for TC Hub or MyChron4/MyChron5 units.

How is the sensor installed?

The sensor typically screws into a bung or fitting in the exhaust system. The 2-pin male connector then attaches to the appropriate AIM patch lead.

Can this sensor be used for applications other than exhaust gas temperature?

While designed for EGT, K type thermocouples can measure a wide range of temperatures. However, its physical design and connector are optimized for exhaust gas monitoring in motorsport.

How accurate are these sensors?

These are professional quality sensors designed to provide the most accurate readings possible for motorsport applications.

Troubleshooting

No temperature reading or erratic readings.

Verify the correct patch lead is used and securely connected at both the sensor and the data logger. Check that the sensor connector is clean. Ensure the input channel on the data logger is configured correctly for a K-type thermocouple.

Reading is consistently too high or too low.

Confirm the sensor is placed correctly in the exhaust stream. Re-check the input configuration on your logger. If the issue persists, the sensor may require calibration or replacement.

Sensor connector is damaged.

Inspect the 2-pin connector for bent pins or damage. If damaged, the sensor may need to be replaced. Contact AIM support for options.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides highly accurate EGT readings essential for engine tuning.
  • Durable construction suitable for motorsport environments.
  • Simple 2-pin male thermocouple connection.
  • Compatible with various AIM data logging systems with the correct patch lead.

Cons

  • Requires specific AIM patch leads (e.g., 712-DIN 4 pin or 3 pin) for connection to data loggers or dash units.
  • Primarily designed for use within the AIM ecosystem.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup & Compatibility:

To use the AIM S-T-EGT sensor, ensure you have the correct patch lead for your specific AIM device:

  • For AIM Mychron Expansion or EVO4/EVO4S data loggers, use the 712-DIN 4 pin patch lead.
  • For AIM TC Hub or direct connection to MyChron4 or MyChron5 lap timers/dash loggers, use the 712-DIN 3 pin patch lead.

Connect the sensor's 2-pin male connector to the appropriate patch lead, and then connect the other end of the patch lead to your AIM data acquisition system.

Care:

  • Avoid physical shock: While built for motorsport, excessive impact can damage the sensor.
  • Keep connections clean: Ensure the 2-pin connector and the patch lead connector are free from dirt and debris for optimal signal integrity.
  • Inspect regularly: Periodically check the sensor and cable for any signs of damage or wear, especially after demanding events.
