Voltmeter Inputs
Pins 1 and/or Pin 2 of the EMS D37 connector can be used to monitor voltage in your electrical
system (or any other DC voltage source) from 10-30V DC. Connect either of the pins to a point
in your electrical system that you wish to monitor.
Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) Probes
Wire length of CHT/EGT harnesses supplied by Dynon is not critical. It is acceptable
to cut the thermocouple (brown) wire of the CHT/EGT harness to shorten the
appropriate length for your installation. It is recommended to not cut the
“armored” portion of the cable near the probe end of the CHT or EGT probes.
The EGT wire may be extended provided that:
1) Type K thermocouple is used for the extension wire. (this is different than CHT
wire)
2) There is no temperature change across the connection between the junction
that is created. For example, do not create a junction across the firewall.
If either of the above guidelines are not followed, your EGT readings will be
incorrect.
Correct placement of EGT probes on the exhaust manifold - per the engine manufacturer’s
guidance - is critical to obtaining accurate readings. Placement differs between engine types
and even specific models. All thermocouple harnesses supplied by Dynon have each function
(e.g., CHT1, EGT1) labeled on each thermocouple pair.
Consult the specific engine’s manual for proper EGT locations.
Rotax 912 (except 912 iS)
For carbureted Rotax 912 engines, only two of the four cylinders are typically monitored for
EGT. Unlike the CHT probes which are mounted on diagonal cylinders, the EGT probes should
be mounted on the two rear cylinders’ exhaust manifolds. It is critical that the EGT probes be
mounted to parallel cylinders’ exhaust manifolds for proper temperature comparison.
