Subject: [FlyRotary] Re: water temp
sender connections
My question is....has anyone else connected
more than one monitor to a single water temp sensor?
Hi Paul,
Very good question, and I'm afraid the answer is "no can
do buddy". These temp sensors are just variable
resistors. The gauge, or monitor that you hook to it is using it as a
voltage divider, and does not expect anything else to be hooked to
it.
The scary part is that you may not have ever gotten an
accurate reading on your water temps with both connected. This may
be good, or very bad.
There's a temp sensor on the water pump housing,
which is the normal one to use for monitoring. I'd leave that for your
engine monitor. I'd install a temp sensor in the rear housing
location (next to the oil pressure sender) for the ECU.
They'll be in the ballpark.
Cheers,
Rusty (got temp sensors
everywhere)
Thanks,
Rusty....I can do that without much difficulty. Paul
