- Montaxe: Securely mount the sensor at the desired measurement point.
- For CHT: Typically under the spark plug.
- For EGT: In the exhaust pipe, at a specific distance from the piston.
- For Water Temp: In the cooling system hose or radiator.
- Connect to MyChron5: Locate the appropriate 3-pin input port on your MyChron5 unit. Carefully align the sensor's 3-pin connector with the port and push firmly until it clicks into place.
- Xestión de cables Route the sensor cable away from moving parts, heat sources, and electrical interference. Use cable ties to secure it.
- Configuración: Power on your MyChron5 unit. Navigate to the sensor configuration menu and select the correct sensor type (e.g., "Temperature 712-719" or similar) for the connected input channel.
- Calibración (se procede): Some sensors may require calibration. Follow the MyChron5 manual's instructions for any necessary calibration procedures.
6. Instrucións de funcionamento
Once installed and configured, the temperature sensor operates automatically with your MyChron5 system.
- Visualización en tempo real: Temperature readings will be displayed on your MyChron5 unit's screen during operation.
- Rexistro de datos: The MyChron5 will automatically log temperature data along with other parameters, allowing for post-session analysis.
- Alarmas: Configure temperature alarms within the MyChron5 settings to alert you if temperatures exceed or fall below predefined thresholds.
7. Mantemento
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your sensor.
- Limpeza: Periodically clean the sensor probe and connector with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Inspección: Before each use, inspect the sensor cable for any signs of wear, cuts, or damage. Check the connector for corrosion or bent pins.
- Montaxe segura: Ensure the sensor remains securely mounted. Vibrations can loosen connections or damage the sensor over time.
- Almacenamento: When not in use, store the sensor in a clean, dry environment, protected from extreme temperatures and physical impact.
8 Solución de problemas
If you encounter issues with your temperature sensor, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Problema | Causa posible | Solución |
|---|---|---|
| No temperature reading | Loose connection, incorrect port, sensor failure, MyChron5 configuration error. | Check all connections. Ensure sensor is plugged into the correct 3-pin port. Verify MyChron5 settings for the sensor channel. Test with a known working sensor if available. |
| Lecturas inexactas | Improper mounting, sensor damage, electrical interference, calibration needed. | Ensure sensor is securely mounted at the correct location. Inspect sensor for physical damage. Check for nearby electrical noise sources. Perform calibration if supported by MyChron5. |
| Lecturas intermitentes | Loose cable, damaged cable, connector issues. | Wiggle the cable gently to see if readings fluctuate. Inspect cable for internal breaks. Clean connector pins. |
If problems persist, contact AIM technical support or your authorized dealer.
