offer discounts to fellow members Frank

Well, if a few of you guys want to get together sort of like a group buy and et me know how many then I cn probably organise a better discount again if you are interested?

Let me know... happy to come up with a one off type price for people who want to buy them individualy from this forum and then a group buy price if I know how many?

Here is a pic of my centre console area and you can see mine mounted on the right hand side of the photo under the airconditioner controls...

Basicly for everyone's information, it is a digital thermocouple which tells you the temp of what ever you connect the wire to(in my case, I put it under the bolt holding the thermostat in place) and you set an alarm on it for what ever temp you want in celcius.

It has another wire that if you wanted to, could be hooked up to say the oil low light in the dash or any alarm light on the dash and it will act as an audible alarm for that as well.

The whole unit i VERY EASY to install because you don't have to install extra sensors into radiator hoses etc. It's just a ring type connector on the end of the wire from the box which needs to be placed under a bolt where ever you want to measure the temp. ie. you could easily put it under a head bolt for instance. I wanted to know the temp off the thermostat - hence why I installed mine there....

Frank, I'd be interested in a price and be in on a group buy as well

Although just one question......why no dust on your dashboard? mines flithy, never get chance to clean the interior that often!!!

I'd be interested too!

So where would be a good spot to install the sensor on the turbo diesel engines? On the engine or radiator?

Maybe the admins could make an announcement for expressions of interest on the main page so all members of the forum are made aware of the opportunity for the group deal?

The more people who want to buy one - the bigger the discount I can organise....

Here is the info for everyone else looking at this...

INEXPENSIVE ENGINE PROTECTION UNITS that will SAVE YOUR Car, Truck, Marine & Stationary Engine

Engine Protection Since 1982

Introducing the ENGINE WATCHDOG 'EASY FIT' electronic engine temperature sensor.

The 'EASY FIT' electronic temperature sensor can rapidly detect ALL ENGINE OVERHEATING caused by both COOLING SYSTEM or OIL SYSTEM FAILURES.

The sensor takes just seconds to fit under any convenient bolt that is near the heat source. By not breaking into the cooling system in any way you will not risk your engines warranty or longevity from faulty installation or electrolysis.

All Engine Watchdog models are supplied with the 'Easy Fit' engine temperature sensor.

Aftermarket Engine Temperature Gauge with a built in ((( Audible ))) Engine Overheating Alarm & Light.

Great value TEMPERATURE AND OIL protection for ALL Car, Truck & Marine Engines.

Engine Watchdog TM2 is an ideal aftermarket engine temperature gauge and audible overheating alarm, that will prevent premature and costly car engine replacement and engine rebuilds. The TM2 detects ALL car coolant system problems that are the causes of car engine overheating, including engine coolant leaks and heat build up from poor oil pressure. It will quickly warn you with a LED warning LIGHT and internal BUZZER if any abnormal engine overheating occurs long before it does damage.

The LED digital engine temperature gauge with its built in audible alarm mounts in the cab, while the 'Easy Fit' engine temperature sensor fits in seconds to the engine

Externally mounted, Very Loud Mini Sirens are available for noisy machinery, Siren must be ordered with the unit. Siren Price, plus $20 Aust.

TM2 comes complete with an installation kit and simple fitting and operational instructions. It suits 12 or 24 volt systems and is fully reverse polarity protected ( you won't blow it up).

To set the alarm, you simply read the highest car temperature on the display and then just set the alarm temperature a few degrees higher using the push button on the front panel. It simple and it works!

Wiring your TM2 to your existing OIL DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHT SENDER (not a oil gauge sensor), will make your oil light into an Audible Oil Pressure Warning Light . Should you lose engine oil pressure the buzzer will alarm. If you want this option and only have a gauge, you will need to fit an inexpensive car type oil pressure light sender to your engine.

Compact size ( less mounting tabs ) 80x30x60mm. ( 3.2" x 1.2" x 2.4" ) Standard lead length 4m ( 13ft ) or they may be ordered to size at no extra cost for boats and farm machinery. Max Temp 125C ( 255F )

Here's the fitting instructions for nyone interested in how easy it is to install the sensor...

'EASY FIT'
TEMPERATURE SENSOR LOCATION

Mount the sensor in a convenient location where it will reflect the engine temperature correctly, or as near the heat source as possible. In this example we are monitoring the engine block temperature, so a tappet cover bolt has been chosen. To use the sensor as a engine cooling system monitor mount the sensor under a thermostat housing bolt.

The SENSOR HOLE size is 10mm ( 3/8")

Slip the heat sensor under the bolt and replace the bolt to its original position and tension.

IT'S THAT EASY! No possibility of car coolant leaks or electrolysis.

Secure the lead so there is no possibility it will be damaged, use the spiral wrap provided if required. If possible, avoid running the sensor lead right next to sparkplug leads, the coil or distributor.

Fantastic idea and about the sam price a a half decent water temp gauge with added benifit of alarms.

Frank, how do you find the temp of the engine watchdog compares to your water temp gauges - ie are they similar?

Hi Shayne,

Because I have my sensor lead installed under the bolt of the thermostat - it is showing me the temp of the water coming out of the radiator, where as the other typical style guage is in the top radiator hose showing me the temp of water coming out of the engine/going into the radiator. When I use an lR gun, it is the same temp of the head.

You can do the same thing with the TM2 by locating it under a bolt in the head near the OEM sensor if you want.

Frank..... put me down for one please.
Wish i knew about them before i had a meltdown.

Frank.... are replacement parts available ? IE : sensor..... as electronics are sometimes prone to failure

Now you've started something Frank, I'm also very interested.

Perhaps you might like to advertise this item in the for sale area with the Offroad80 price.

Have you also looked at those tyre pressure & temp units Frank?

I'm also interested in one of these.

As Pete said, chuck it up in the Sale section.

Hi 80.Cruiser.

They are localy made and designed in Brisbane... Parts are available...

In saying that - the sensor is solid state - and they have a 12 month warranty

Hi Pete,

I will do...

Re the Tyre pressure and temp unit's - I am trialing one right now which may be a lower cost alternative to the more expensive ones... - once I am satisfied, I will let everyone know what I think

Guys,

I will have a special price up for offroad80's users on a bulk buy today.
