Universal Cylinder Head Temperature Gauge

3 Meter Sensor Cable (10mm Ring Terminal)

 

Why you need a CHT gauge?

If you drive an air cooled or in fact any vehicle this CHT gauge will tell you a lot about the state of tune of your engine. Air cooled vehicles especially with stock fuel injection, have a tendency to run hot. Overheating an air cooled engine will often result in damage to the cylinder head valve seats, the so-called "dropped seat" syndrome. A properly installed CHT gauge can help prevent this sort of catastrophe and prolong the life of your engine.

What is a CHT Gauge? 

A Cylinder Head Temperature gauge is the missing gauge on any air-cooled vehicle. Most vehicles these days are water-cooled, and every water-cooled vehicle has a vague temperature gauge on the dash which shows the temperature of the engine coolant. You have a warning that the engine may be overheating when your temp gauge heads towards the red but that's all. With this CHT gauge you can accurately measure the temperature to the decimal point up to 300c or 572 f  so you know exactly what your temps are.

Since air-cooled vehicles like vintage VW's and Porsche's etc do not have any coolant inside the engine, we measure the engine heat by reading the temperature of the cylinder head in the spark plug area via a sensor. This area of the head gets very hot and is an excellent indicator of the operating parameters of the engine as a whole.

The CHT gauge kits consist of a sensor and the gauge itself. The CHT sensor is attached to a ring terminal typically placed under the spark plug or one bolt on the cylinder head. 

Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) Limits

For a longer engine life, the recommendation is that a maximum 435 degrees F. should not be exceeded during high cruise power. In my opinion, however, a somewhat lower 360-400 degrees F. CHT is more reassuring for normal cruise conditions.

Specifications:

Celsius and Fahrenheit : This temperature gauge measures in both Celsius and Fahrenheit

High alarm set point with buzzer and Output: If the engine overheats (alarm set point), the Temp controller will start beeping and also visual guide HHH on the controller screen intermittently to warn the driver. You simply note the highest temperature your engine reaches during normal driving, then set the audible alarm to go off at a few degrees higher. The controller has low alarm set point too.

Washer type sensor: The heat sensor simply fits like a washer under any suitable bolt that is close to the cylinder head or engine block like under tappet cover bolt or thermostat housing bolt or similar. 3 meter sensor with SS braided cover for protecting wire for heating and also cut and abrasion.

Fast Response time: The sensor detects changes so quickly, drivers can see their engine temperature rise and fall degree by degree (with 0.1 degree resolution) as they drive in varying traffic and road conditions.

Relay contact 10 Amp: The Controller has relay output for connecting to your fan or coolant system or any other alarm system.

The controller has two type of timer for special actions.

Easy installation with manual: The main unit fits under the dash (Compact size - 75 (W) x 86 (H) x 35 (D) mm, plus mounting tabs . The power just connect to 12V DC by wire.

 

Calibration: This temperature gauge can be calibrated via the rear panel and is cold junction compensated for high accuracy.
