EGT (pyrometer) amplifier · Type K thermocouple · 0 – 5 V analog out

EG5 and EG12 specifications

The output side is the same three wires as any pressure sensor — supply, ground, signal — so it wires into any analog input and calibrates with two points. Sold as the module alone: the probe and the bung it threads into are bought separately, to the specifications under Recommended to use with.

ConnectorsThermocouple cable: a miniature Type K socket. Output cable: none. Every ECU takes its inputs in its own plug, so one fitted here would most often be cut off; the cable comes stripped, ready for your ECU's terminal or a splice. Orders of 10 or more can have a connector fitted to your pinout, quoted on requestThermocouple cable: a miniature Type K socket. Output cable: none.
