DETECTOR MOUNTING
Each detector is mounted to an individual crankcase via a
¾
inch BSP threaded hole.
Ensure all detectors fitted to the engine are locked tightly in place by means of the lock nut supplied.
It is recommended that the detector be located at the upper part of the crankcase wall where it is not in
the direct line of the oil throw. On smaller engines it is permissible to mount the detector on the
crankcase door if desired or as installation dictates, subject to vibration levels.
Figure 9
Ideal Mounting Position
The detector must be fitted at a maximum of plus or minus 20 degrees from the vertical. Horizontally
the detector must be mounted level or with the detector body inclined towards the engine to ensure oil
drainage. Refer to Figure 10, and Figure 11.
Please ensure that Detector 1 is connected to position 1 on the Control Unit, Detector 2 to position 2.
Repeat for all Detectors fitted.
