EXHAUST GAS TEMPERATURE GAUGE

MAINTANENCE

This exhaust temperature gauge, which is basically a thermometer, is mounted directly in the
exhaust pipe, after the exhaust spark arrestor. It passively measures the exhaust temperature
before the exhaust gases are released into the atmosphere .

INSTALLATION

The exhaust gas temperature gauge is supplied as a loose item. Mount the 1/2" NPT fitting on the
exhaust pipe, after the exhaust spark arrestor, with the probe protruding into the exhaust gas.

Care must be taken when installing the probe in the system to ensure that it is not forced against
any obstruction when tightening the nut. This can lead to an increase in pressure within the
probe, causing incorrect readings. If the probe is touching any obstruction, withdraw
approximately 3mm before tightening the nut.

The instrument is calibrated with the length of fixed capillary lines (3 metres). Excess line length
must be accommodated by coiling, not by cutting off the surplus. Do not place the line past hot or
cold sources. The capillary line must be adequately protected against external damage and free
from twisting and buckling.

Panel mount the indicating head at a convenient location.

Vibration acting on the casing of the gauge affects the function and working life of the instrument.
Therefore, the gauge should be installed in vibration free situations where possible.

MAINTANENCE

Visually check the capillary line for damage or deterioration. Check that all fixings are secure and
inspect the unit for mechanical damage.

The function of the gauge does not require any special maintenance procedure, but frequent
checks must be made to ensure the instrument is still working correctly and accurately.
