Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Identify a suitable port in your fluid system (e.g., oil pan, radiator hose adapter) that accepts a 1/8" NPT thread. An included aluminum bung can be used to create a new port if necessary.
- Apply thread sealant (e.g., Teflon tape) to the sensor's 1/8" NPT threads.
- Carefully thread the sensor into the chosen port. Tighten to the recommended installation torque of 13.5 Nm (10 ft-lbs).
- Connect the sensor's DTM-style connector to the provided mating connector.
- Wire the mating connector to your desired monitoring system (e.g., AEM gauge, data logger), ensuring secure connections using the provided pins and wire seals.
Compatibility:
This sensor is compatible with any fluid temperature monitoring system that accepts a 1/8" NPT sensor and can interpret its output. Common applications include performance automotive gauges and data logging systems.
Care:
- Keep the sensor and its connector clean and free from debris.
- Periodically inspect the sensor for any signs of damage or corrosion.
- Ensure the electrical connections remain secure and protected from moisture.
