Something is not right. Make sure you connected the sensor return
line to the OAT bias line instead of ground like the other air temp
sensors. OAT is different because I wanted it to be able to read
down to at least -40 degrees F. It is not calibrated in C although it
should be possible to do that if you wanted.
After double checking all wire connections to it, let me know what you
see. The unit is tested with a bench reference sensor on the OAT function
so I'm fairly certain that the unit is working but it is remotely possible that
the sensor is bad.

Subject: [FlyRotary] OAT problem?
Hi Tracy, I connected OAT sensor today, but the display shows
single digit
number 5-6. When I blew some hot air with the hair dryer on
the sensor, the
numbers climbed to 11 and than settled to 5 after removing
the heat? I
wander if the reading is in
Celsius?
