Pressure Sensors
Fitting the pressure sensors
The system is supplied with two 150 psi pressure sensors to
measure Oil Pressure and Fuel Pressure. These sensors have a
1/8” NPTF thread.
Optional adapters may be supplied to match the pressure ports of
different types of engines.
If you find that you have a sensor with an incorrect thread, please
contact Auto Meter for advice.
Installing the pressure sensors
•
Position each sensor and its cable as far as possible from all
sources of intense heat and from the ignition HT leads.
•
Each sensor can be either screwed in directly to the
monitoring point or fitted separately by using a suitable
pressure hose to connect it to the monitoring point.
•
Do not screw the sensor directly into the engine block, as
excessive vibration from some racing engines can affect the
long-term life of the sensor.
•
Do not over-tighten the sensors.
