Hi Bob,
If you are using 50/50 water glycol mix it is a requirement to have both a
CHT gauge and a water temp gauge. The engine limitations have different max
temps for each. Most owners only have one CHT sensor. The very latest
engines have a modified location for the CHT sensor which should remove the
need to measure both.
If you have the carb heat mod there does not seem much point in measuring
carb temp. The reason you would measure carb temp is to warn of carb icing.
Regards
Brian

Subject: Europa-List: Re: Unidentified Probe
Thanks for all the replies.
My Europa does have a Carb Heat kit fitted, and from Paul's description, it
is a Mk.2
I'll change the battery, and have a play with it, but I have already fitted
the Water Temperature adapter from Skydrive, and plan to get a Dynon Skyview
Panel to monitor, amongst other things, the Water Temp. I understand from
elsewhere on the forum that Rotax do not fit a probe for Water Temp, but
rely on Cylinder Head Temp for engine monitoring. I would like to keep an
eye on the Water Temp, so have used one of the two Cylinder Head Probes for
the Water Temp.
This means at present, I will only be measuring CHT at one cylinder. Do
other do this, or fit 2 or even four probes, and measure each Cylinder ?
Is there any advantage in having both Water Temp, and Carb Temp (by using
this probe ) ?
Sorry for the initial confusion, both photos are of the same device from
different angles. If it is self powered via the battery, any idea what the
pinout connections are for ?
TIA
