REFERENCE
Mounting the Temperature Sensor:
1) Secure the Sensor End directly against the part of your engine, motor, battery
or other object you want to monitor temperature readings from, using either a
nylon cable tie or high-temperature clear tape. For
example, to monitor the cylinder head temperature
of your glow-powered model, the best place to
secure the Sensor End is where the bottom of
the cylinder head meets the top of the engine
case. The Sensor End can be held in place using
a nylon cable tie wrapped around your engine.
To monitor the temperature of your battery pack
or electric motor, high-temperature clear tape can be used to secure the Sensor End to the exact spot you want to monitor.
