Brauniger ALPHAMFD - 2.3.1 Switch-Off unused Temperature Ports

When mounting the senders the following points must be observed:
• Protect the sender leads against high temperatures.
• Protect the sender leads from excessive vibration. However, a certain amount of
movement must be allowed.
• The sender leads must not be sharply bent or abraded.
• The threads of EGT, CHT, water- and oil temp senders must be treated with
Loctite Anti Seize (or a similar agent) to ensure trouble-free unscrewing.
Type K temperature senders (NiCrNi) MUST be extended with specially
compensated extension leads. If the leads of the senders are too short and must be
extended, the special Type K extension leads and Type K plug and sockets MUST be
used. These leads are available from BRÄUNIGER :
Type Pt100 temperature senders do not need specially compensated extension
leads but can be extended with standard copper leads.
Please observe, that the ALPHA
ALPHAALPHA
ALPHAMFD is equipped with two different types of
temperature ports: Type K and Pt100. These ports can ONLY be used with
the respective type of sender.
Please follow the technical information of the senders you are using.
NOTE: BRÄUNIGER provides complete cable looms and sender kits as an option for
some popular engines. With these connection kits, it is even easier to connect the
ALPHAMFD.
2.3.1 Switch-Off unused Temperature Ports
The ALPHA
ALPHAALPHA
ALPHAMFD has six different ports where temperature senders can be connected
(Two Type Pt100 and four Type K). Because with some engine configurations some
ports are not used, they can be switched off.
Because of their technical characteristics, temperature ports still show temperatures
even when no senders are attached, and these temperatures are of course "nonsense".
Therefore the ports can be switched off and "nonsense" values are suppressed.
