Analog Input for EGT

[Steeve_Civic]

Hello,
I've bought this Multimeter and would like to connect it to my S300 Input.

or this one is better:

Could you help me please?

you have to get a resitor which has the resistance of 250 Ohms and 1% accuracy.
this resistor you have to put between terminals 3 and 10.

from terminal 3 you go to the ECU. depending on the S300 version you can use the analoge input (V2) or for version1 you can use D10 for example to datalog the occuring 0-5V signal. for V1 just check the help of the S300. it is explained pretty detailed how to do it.

OK thank you very much.

Which value do I need to put please?

OV - 0
5V 5000?

this depends on your sensor ;)
this whole thermo-couple thing isn't as easy as is seems. you need a lot of information, that it'll work properly and show the exact numbers.
then it depends of you want to use fahrenheit or °celsius (thank god for the metric system)

with this information you can install and setup the whole thing the right way, that it will work properly.

correct!
But I bought a 3mm thermocouple K type like this one and don't know where to find these specs

[Luke]

it's just in the instruction manual in table1 on the right side of the first page.

first you have to setup your device to µ. this is Type K thermo couple -200-1300°C.

on the bottom of page 2 it says, that the analog output gives 1-5V, where also 0-5V is obtained.

so, my solution would be:

1V = -200°C= -328°F

5V = 1300°C= 2372°F

this are the values you have to enter into SManager in my opinion and this is how I understand this piece of crap (which can't be called a good instruction manual)

Lol, again thank you.

I will try and let you know.

Is there other good EGT gauges with simple user manual?

[Luke]

of course there are.

PLX devices has something which just gives you 0-5V

or

Innovate MXL. new stuff, shall work just fine.

there are some alternative possibilities.

Thank you, I'm going to check

Best regards,
