FAQs

What is the operating temperature range of this sensor?

The sensor operates accurately within a temperature range of 0 to 150 degrees Celsius.

Can this sensor be used for both oil and water temperature?

Yes, this sensor is designed for measuring both engine oil and water (coolant) temperatures.

What type of connection does this sensor have?

The sensor has a standard 1/8" NPT thread for installation and a male 4-pin black 719 binder plug for connection to AiM devices.

Do I need any adapters for older AiM loggers like the EVO4?

Yes, for AiM EVO4 or EVO4S loggers, you will need a 712-719 extension lead to connect this sensor.

How long is the sensor cable?

The integrated cable sensor length is 25cm.

Where is the best place to install the sensor for water temperature?

For water temperature, it is recommended to install the sensor in the pipe that goes from the radiator to the engine cylinder head.

Can I extend the sensor cable length?

Yes, AiM offers 719-719 extension leads in various lengths (0.5 to 3 meters) to extend the distance between the sensor and your AiM logger/display.

Troubleshooting

Sensor not providing readings

Verify the 4-pin binder plug is securely connected to the AiM logger/display. Check that the correct input channel is configured in the logger settings. Ensure the sensor is properly threaded into the engine component and not cross-threaded.

Inaccurate temperature readings

Confirm the sensor is installed in a location that accurately reflects the fluid temperature (e.g., not in a stagnant area). Ensure the fluid has reached operating temperature for a stable reading. Check for any obstructions or fouling on the sensor tip if accessible.

Connection issues with older AiM loggers (EVO4/EVO4S)

Use the appropriate 712-719 extension lead to connect the 719 sensor plug to the 712 logger input.

Temperature reading is stuck at 0°C or 150°C

This may indicate a sensor fault or a wiring issue. Inspect the sensor and its wiring for any damage. If damage is found, the sensor may need replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides critical real-time temperature data for performance tuning.
  • Helps prevent engine damage by alerting users to overheating.
  • Durable construction suitable for harsh motorsport conditions.
  • Easy integration with AiM logging systems.
  • Versatile for monitoring both coolant and oil temperatures.

Cons

  • Requires a compatible AiM logger or dash display.
  • Specific extension leads may be needed for certain AiM logger types (EVO4/EVO4S).
  • The 25cm cable length might require extensions for some installations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The sensor features a 1/8" NPT fitting, which screws directly into a compatible port on your engine's cooling system or oil system. Ensure a secure, leak-free fitment. The sensor's 4-pin binder plug connects directly to the appropriate harness input on your AiM logger or dash display.

Compatibility: This sensor is designed for use with AiM loggers and dash displays that feature 4-pin binder connectors (719 series), such as the MXS, MXP, MXG, MXL (Strada and Pista), MXL2, EVO5, and MXm. For AiM EVO4 / EVO4S loggers or Channel Expansion units, which use 712 connections, a 712-719 extension lead is required.

Care: Clean the sensor's connection points periodically with a dry, lint-free cloth to ensure optimal signal integrity. Avoid exposing the sensor to excessive vibration or physical impact. Regular checks of the installation for any signs of leaks or damage are recommended.
