This gauge has two thermocouple inputs, and a numeric display of 2 rows, 4 digits each.
Each row can be independently configured at any time via the front pushbuttons to display any of the following:
-Probe #1 temperature
-Probe #2 temperature
-Probe #1 peak temperature
-Probe #2 peak temperature
-Temperature difference (subtract Probe #1 from Probe #2)
-Temperature difference (subtract Probe #2 from Probe #1)
-Peak temperature difference (subtract Probe #1 from Probe #2)
-Peak temperature difference (subtract Probe #2 from Probe #1)
The peak temperatures are always being updated even if the display is not currently set to show them.
The peak temperatures can be reset at any time by holding down one of the front panel pushbuttons for a couple seconds.
This gauge also has two analog outputs which allow the temperature of Probe #1 or Probe #2 to be output in real time to external equipment such as a datalogger, multimeter, or oscilloscope. The analog output range can be configured for a simple 1 degree per mV output or can be more tightly centered around a region of interest to improve sensitivity up to 20mV per degree.
Temperature is sampled at 60Hz. The display and analog outputs are updated at 10Hz.
This gauge kit comes with the following:
1x Dual EGT gauge with two Type K thermocouple inputs
2x Type K thermocouple probes with exposed tips and stainless steel construction. Rated for 1832F continuous.
2x 1/8 NPT compression fittings for thermocouple probes
1x Mounting bracket kit for gauge with two nylon thumb nuts
Housing: ABS with raw machined finish and semi satin reflectivity. Text is machined into surface of gauge and hand painted white.
Lens: Makrolon polycarbonate
Electrical pinout: +V, GND, DAC_A_OUTPUT, DAC_B_OUTPUT, DAC_GND (use is optional).
Thermocouple probe: Type K, stainless steel construction, 1000C (1832F) continuous rated. 6 foot length. PTFE jacket with stainless braid and PTFE wire insulation. Exposed fast response tip. 1/8" NPT compression fitting.
Gauge thermocouple harness: 3 foot length, female blade style thermocouple connector.
Mounting requirements: Recommend 2 1/16" diameter hole for gauge. Body from behind flange to end of studs is about 2.5". Panel thickness up to 1/8" thick, thicker if included aluminum bracket is modified.
Here are some possible uses for this gauge:
-Intercooler performance can be quantified and monitored by installing a probe at the compressor outlet and a probe at the intake manifold. The effect of H20 or Methanol injection can be observed as the temperature drop between the compressor outlet and the intake. In addition the compressor outlet temperature can be monitored to see where the turbo is operating in its boost map.
-A common use would be to have one probe monitoring a single cylinder EGT, and another probe in the intake manifold. This would provide useful information about how stressed the engine is under boost via the temperature of the air entering the cylinder and the temperature of the exhaust gases.
-Currently only exposed tip thermocouples come with the gauge kit. However, you could connect any thermocouple which uses the industry standard male mini blade connector. If you used enclosed tip thermocouples, you could measure oil and coolant temperatures with very high accuracy and peak detection, or even the drop in coolant or oil temperature across the radiator or oil cooler!
