 Transducer Installation 
General Purpose Thermocouple 
You may configure the FlightDEK-D180 to monitor one J 
or K type thermocouple. Dynon Avionics does not supply a 
specific general purpose thermocouple probe for this 
purpose. However, our standard EGT and CHT probes will 
work, as will any other J or K type thermocouple. 
Dynon Avionics sells both J and K type thermocouple wire 
which may be used to connect the desired thermocouple to 
the FlightDEK-D180. Ensure you order the correct wire 
type for the thermocouple you intend to use. Crimp a female D-sub pin on the end of each wire, 
and plug them into the D37 connector. Polarity is important, so ensure that you are routing the 
positive side (yellow for K-type; white for J-type) of the thermocouple to pin 27 on the 37-pin 
harness, and the negative side to pin 28.
