CHT monitoring
 

I've been looking for digital readout cylinder head temperature monitoring systems and found this beauty.
JP INSTRUMENTS EDM-700-6C - Gulf Coast Avionics
Bummer it's way over my budget.

Anybody know of a less costly solution without all the datalogging and cost adding FAA certification?

This type of readout would look great in a 930S console while being quite useful insurance for engine health monitoring ... no?

I have one from Westach...it is an analog gauge with a 6-position switch to select which cylinder you want to monitor. I found #5 runs hottest so I just leave it there...you kind of see the gauge in this pic...

Spruce aircraft has a 4 channel one for much less.

MGL AVIONICS TC-1 EGT/CHT MONITORING SYSTEM from Aircraft Spruce

You can divi up / reconfig the channel(s) for different stuff like EGT.

Omega.com has all sorts of thermocouple options and meters. You can find all sorts of app notes and info.

Thermocouples

i-Series 1/32, 1/16, 1/8 DIN Programmable Temperature/Process Meters with RS232 & RS485 Communications Standard

Yeah...the nice thing about the MGL is that it can uses all 3 type (J,K,E) thermocouples...so just buy the cheapest that fit your need.
