Dynon Avionics FlightDEK-D180, Installation Manual

Page: 37 / 154

Transducer Installation
General Purpose Thermocouple
You may configure the FlightDEK-D180 to monitor one J
or K type thermocouple. Dynon Avionics does not supply a
specific general purpose thermocouple probe for this
purpose. However, our standard EGT and CHT probes will
work, as will any other J or K type thermocouple.
Dynon Avionics sells both J and K type thermocouple wire
which may be used to connect the desired thermocouple to
the FlightDEK-D180. Ensure you order the correct wire
type for the thermocouple you intend to use. Crimp a female D-sub pin on the end of each wire,
and plug them into the D37 connector. Polarity is important, so ensure that you are routing the
positive side (yellow for K-type; white for J-type) of the thermocouple to pin 27 on the 37-pin
harness, and the negative side to pin 28.
