introduction
INTRODUCTION
The Pyrometer Probe Kit includes all the parts necessary to obtain exhaust gas temperatures and
transmit those exhaust gas temperatures to a Triple Dog GT, a Watchdog or PMT. This product is
not meant for use with any other monitoring units.
What does a pyrometer probe measure?
A pyrometer probe is used to measure the temperature of the exhaust gas in the exhaust mani-
fold or shortly after the turbo charger. This information helps the driver determine if their vehicle
is operating at safe temperatures. With that information the driver can prevent damage to a
nengine or turbo charger by safely backing out of the throttle before any real damage occurs.
This instruction manual is meant to help make the decision of where to install the pyrometer
probe; in which that location will be either pre or post turbo charger. It will also help make the
decision of what temperatures are deemed “safe” for the vehicle application.
Installation Difficulty
This installation can be difficult depending on the level of knowledge of the installer. This instal-
lation does require that the exhaust manifold or the post turbo exhaust downpipe is drilled and
tapped. It is recommended that professional assistance is utilized if the installer does not have
experience with drilling and tapping.
