Fits in a switch blank....Simple's !!

Intrigued am i...!

Visit the webshop to get details of the CUBE

The relationship between the coolant temp and the sensor temp reading is close in that position. (there is only a few mm's of alloy between the end of the bolt and the coolant.)

However this is intended as a temp gauge and temp alarm. Once set it will warn you if the sensor temp goes above the normal for that position.

If you want to measure coolant temp....where do you want to measure it ?? I have sensors that can be placed within the coolant but not with this system.....see the CUBE if you want to measure actual coolant temp....you can put those sensors wherever you like,

Physically fitting it was very easy, pop out a switch blank and pop in the unit.

You have to wire up to switched positive and earth, plus a longer wire that goes out to the engine bay and bolts under the chosen bolt, this is a probe. Then it's a case of tidying up the wiring and all is done.

I think there is info on where to put the sensor probe on the forums.

PM me if you need any more info but it's not hard to install which is good.

How are you finding the 2-digit display Andy? From recollection of your description a while back you have to 'translate' the numbers into a 3-figure number - is that right? And doesn't it also switch between reading out temp. or battery voltage? If so, can it be made to give temp. radout by default? Also, it doesn't have an alarm facility - is that right (not I think that matters much)? I very much like the way it goes in a switch blank though - thats a very big plus

It reads either temp or volts...you can have it reading whichever you want (it dosn't auto switch between the two readings)...it has a "settable" high temp alarm and also can be set to switch on a fan (via a relay)
It goes up to 99c then A 1 to 9 then B 1 to 9 etc.
Once the A comes up you start to take close interest....It is actually not confusing at all.

Ok I fell for it and ordered one , hoping for a weekend fit depending on Mr Postman .

Will post my findings when installed.

You should have it to sign for in the morning.

Thanks Haydn.
P.s did you email me the instructions

YEP ! did you get them ??

Hi Mike,

I know Haydn has already answered this but I am getting on with it very well, it's a useful instrument and fits very neatly which is a real bonus. It does have a high temp alarm that you can set, along with high and low voltage alarms so if you have a low or overcharge situation it tells you about that too.

It fits neatly in one of the switch blanks and there is plenty of wire provided. The unit and wiring look well made. So all in a thumbs up from me.
