Hi folks
I have a cool digital temp/coolant level gauge coming from Australia, and I'll post install/impressions once in hand in installed. The initial question is: what temperature should I set for the alarm that comes with it? The sensor is block-mounted.
From the manufacturer:
The gauge receives continuous engine temperature measurements from a digital temperature sensors mounted directly on the engine block.
The digital temperature sensor can measure temperatures from -55°C to +125°C (-67°F to +257°F). The gauge displays temperatures in one degree increments.
The gauge checks the measured temperature against two temperature levels (SAFE and MAXIMUM) which are set separately for the engine.

- SAFE temperature. An engine temperature at or below SAFE is normal operation.
- MAXIMUM temperature. An engine temperature at or above the MAXIMUM will flash a RED display and trigger the audible alarm. The alarm will also be triggered If the gauge cannot receive a temperature reading from the sensor. The audible alarm can be cancelled by pressing either the Menu or Settings button or can be turned off using the gauge menu/settings.
