- In stock, ready to ship
Analogue exhaust temperature gauge for monitoring of exhaust gas temperature.
Works with Wema Exhaust Temperature Pyrometer Senders, also known as thermocouples, which are used for sensing high temperatures such as exhaust gas. They are an industry standard K Type signal and ungrounded for use in both marine and automotive applications. Manufactured from inconel for high temperature installations up to 1000ºC continuous. Both have temperature resistant flying leads.
Yellow - yellow̴ light
Orange - red light
Black - to sensor
Red - to positive (+)
Blue - to ground (-)
1. Cut a 52mm (2 1/16") diameter hole in the panel.
You will need a minimum clearance of 55mm (2 3/16") behind the panel to fit the gauge.
2. Remove fastening ring and insert gauge through panel from the front, fit and tighten fastening ring from the rear.
3. Connect wires according to wiring diagram.
Select either Orange or Yellow wires for backlighting. Wire colour corresponds with backlight colour.
* Note the use of dropping resistors for 24V circuit.
4. Insert wire harness into port at the back of the gauge.
What resistance is it?
How long is it?
How many wires does it have?
What type of tank is it being fitted into?
If your sender has information stamped on the head then we can identify your sender from the product code:
[Please note: the code 001300 refers to the S3 head and the code 001306 / 001305 refers to the S5 sender head]
The S3 has a screw in head with a 1.25" BSP thread like this:
[NOTE: A 1.25" BSP (British Standard Pipe) thread will actually measure larger than 1.25 inches when measured with a tape measure. This is because a BSP measurement refers to the internal bore of a pipe (for accurate flow rate) and not the outside of the thread.]
The S5 has a bolt down head with 5 holes like this:
[NOTE: The 5-hole drill pattern in the top of an S5 sender head is a standard SAE-5-hole pattern.]
The sender and gauge must have the same resistance values or the gauge will read incorrectly.
You can either test the gauge or the sender to find this out.
Disconnect the two wires on top of the sender.
Remove the sender from the tank.
Connect the wires on the sender to a multimeter.
Set the multimeter to resistance [Ω ohms]
Move the float to the top of the sender and take a reading on the multimeter:
At the top of the sender (full) the resistance should be:
European specification - 190 ohms
American specification - 30 ohms
Move the float to the bottom of the sender and take a second reading:
At the bottom of the sender (empty) the resistance should be:
European specification - 0 ohms
American specification - 240 ohms
If you have access to the wires on the back of the gauge;
Power the gauge off
Disconnect the black wire (sender)
Power the gauge on
If it's an American gauge the needle will show EMPTY
Touch the black wire to earth, the needle will go to FULL
If it's a European gauge the needle will show FULL
Touch the black wire to earth, the needle will go to EMPTY
If you don't have access to the back of the gauge;
Disconnect the two wires in the loom that attach to the sender.
If it's an American gauge the needle will show EMPTY
If it's a European gauge the needle will show FULL
To measure an S3 or S3H sender (with screw in head) measure from the top of the thread to the bottom of the stem.
To measure an S5 sender (with bolt down head) measure from the underside of the flange to the bottom of the stem
If your S5 or S3 sender has 2 wires then it is a standard resistance sender.
If your S5 or S3 sender has 3 or 4 wires then it is either a 0-5v, 0-10v sender or it has a high/low level alarm.
If you have a 3 or 4 wire sender then please contact us before ordering.
If your sender has a high or low level alarm we will need to know if the switch is normally off (when the tank is empty), turning on when the tank is full or normally on, turning off when the tank is full. We will also need to know how far from the top or bottom of the sender you would like the alarm switch to be.
For fuel or water then you can fit the maximum length of sender for your tank.
For a black water holding tank we recommend leaving at least 50mm from the bottom of the tank regardless of the material the tank is made from.
If you tank does not contain fuel, fresh water, grey water or black water then please contact us for more specific information. For very thick liquids like oil or grease we may need to know the viscosity.
