Engine Guard Single Temperature Sensor Kit Designed to warn you of overheating, the system will also provide very accurate real time monitoring of changes in temperature. Many owners report that they are surprised to see significant variations in engine temperature- whereas the factory temperature gauge hardly moves. This is because most factory temperature gauges only show LARGE temperature changes- typically in three stages being ‘COLD – OK – OVERHEATING’. But actual engine temperatures can change between 90°c and 110°c and the needle may not move! This is designed to give you ‘peace of mind’. Unfortunately, it can also go from “OK” to “OVERHEATING” in seconds- causing expensive engine damage. ENGINE GUARD will warn you before the damage is done!Importantly the system uses a temperature sensor located directly on the metal of the engine– usually located on the cylinder head, on or near the thermostat housing. The sensor is installed like a washer under a bolt- quick and easy! And cylinder head temperature is a very accurate predictor of overheating- after all, this is where the combustion takes place. In testing, we have reliably demonstrated that if an engine has a sudden loss of coolant, head temperature will start to rise within 20 seconds. As the alarm set point is usually set around 2 – 5 degrees above the normal highest operating temperature, it will give a very accurate and timely warning. Equally, unlike traditional ‘immersed in coolant’ type temperature senders (as per most manufacturers) if you suffer a sudden catastrophic coolant loss, the ENGINE GUARD will still function perfectly. By contrast most factory gauges will DROP in temperature if there is no coolant- effectively telling you the wrong thing! The ENGINE GUARD will also show accurate temperature if the coolant is not circulating (such as a stuck thermostat or failed water pump) whereas immersed senders would fail to show any change.The digital Display is designed to be simple to install and easy to operate. The Display mounts almost ‘flush’ on the dashboard (only 19mm thick) and can be located anywhere that suits the driver or operator. It also uses a high bond self-adhesive backing so no need to drill or cut into the dash. Operating the Display is simple- the system records the highest temperature in the memory, making setting a breeze, and this alarm setpoint is displayed on start-up. It also features multiple error warnings if faults exist. There are also 11 adjustable parameters to allow you to customize the system to suit your exact purposes- from display brightness to alarm delay and reset times. Product Features Precise Digital Display: Provides a clear, real-time temperature reading, far more accurate than standard factory gauges. Adjustable Audible Alarm: A loud 95-decibel buzzer can be set to your desired temperature limit, giving you an immediate alert to pull over before damage occurs. High-Quality Temperature Sensor: The kit includes a robust and reliable single sensor designed for accurate readings under harsh engine bay conditions. Durable Construction: Made from high-quality materials to ensure long-lasting performance and reliability. Universal Application: This versatile kit is designed to be easily installed on a wide variety of petrol and diesel engines.
