HOW TO INSTALL YOUR EXHAUST GAS TEMPERATURE GAUGE
Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor
The exhaust gas temperature (EGT) gauge requires a reliable temperature signal from the exhaust system to provide an
appropriate EGT indication.
After deciding the location of the sensor, drill an 8.70 mm diameter hole. Use a 1/8 NPT tap to thread the hole for the included
NPT fitting.
First secure the 1/8 NPT fitting by hand, and then turn 1.5 revolutions by a socket/spanner. Torque to 3 Nm (2.2 ft.lbf)
After the 1/8 NPT fitting is securely fastened, insert the bush, nut and thermocouple in series as shown in figure below.
The thermocouple depth is to be set at approximately half the diameter of the exhaust pipe.
Secure the sensor assembly by tightening the securing nut. Torque to 6Nm (4.4 ft.lbf)
Be sure not to over tighten the EGT sensor as it may cause sensor failure or thread damage.
Route the sensor cable to the gauge. Ensure cable is kept away from heat as much as possible.

Wiring
Both of the exhaust gas temperature gauge and sensor must be connected to the vehicle’s ground (chassis or earth).
Soldering or crimp on electrical connectors must be used on all electrical connections.
Unused wires must be insulated with electrical tape in order to prevent unwanted electrical connections.
Follow safe electrical operating practice.
Refer to the table and diagrams below for further details

Operation & Troubleshooting
Once the electrical connections and EGT sensor installation are completed, turn the car key to “on” position. The EGT gauge
will illuminate and the needle will be positioned at a temperature reading.
Start the car and check for any exhaust leaks.
The needle position will change relative to the exhaust gas temperature. If the needle does not move relative to the exhaust
gas temperature, ensure that all electrical connections are correct and that the EGT sensor is installed correctly as per
instructions above.
Monitor the gauge reading against the operating conditions of the engine. The temperature should be at a minimum during
cold start then slowly increase and remain at a normal operating temperature.
If the display does not illuminate, ensure that the gauge electrical connections are correct.
If the display illumination/operation is not switched with ignition, ensure that the red wire is connected to an ignition switched
source not a constant +12VDC source.
If the display needle is erratic, ensure that all electrical connections to the EGT sensor are correct.
