Overview
Temperature Monitoring
The SR-8A has a large, crisp, backlit display, which is viewable in direct sunlight. Temperature
inputs allow pilots to monitor up to 8 temperatures, including EGT, CHT, TIT,
OAT, Carb Temp, Cowl Temp, Oil Temp, and virtually any other temperature.
Scanning Channels
Step through each channel with the Step Switch, or place the
instrument into Scan Mode and have it monitor the entire suite of monitored temperatures
automatically. An adjustable pot on the face of the instrument allows pilots to choose a scan
rate from between 1 to 9 seconds per channel.
Alarms
The SR-8A comes complete with alarms for EGT and CHT. Factory preset limits set the EGT overtemp
at 1650'F and CHT at 500'F. Lower limits for EGT are set to 1100'F. An EGT Differential
limit can be set for a Carbureted Engine (195') or Injected (95') to alert you when the EGT
spread is too large.
