Oil Temperature:
Oil temperature is displayed both graphically and digitally. As oil
temperature rises, the graph size increases proportionately. This is
consistent with the oil pressure display and makes it very easy to
determine relationships between the two parameters.
The full color range marks let you see at a glance how close to red line
oil temperature you are.
The digital display reads out in 1 degree Fahrenheit increments to a
maximum of 300 degrees. This is very useful for monitoring typical
engine oil cooling system performance.
For new engine installations, you can take advantage of the high
accuracy and repeatability for analyzing the engine oil cooler system
efficiency. If the cooling does not seem to be effective enough, you can
make changes and repeat your tests with the confidence that the next
test data will reflect the results of your changes.
Oil Temperature Alert:
Your oil temp system also provides you with built-in warning
annunciators. If the oil temperature rises above redline, the system
captures the event and the display is flashed until the problem is
corrected.
