s) Fit cylinder head temperature (CHT) sensor. The CHT sensor used in Jabiru aircraft is
a J-type thermocouple located under the rear spark plug of No: 4 cylinder. The VDO
310 980 Cylinder Head Temperature Gauge Kit is compatible with this sensor and is
installed as standard equipment in Jabiru Aircraft. Note that to ensure an accurate
temperature reading it is important to have the cold junction for the CHT (the plug
between the stiff thermocouple wires and the normal, plastic-insulated gauge wires)
located away from the heat of the engine. Refer to Figure at the beginning of the
engine installation section above.
