"ENGINE GUARD" model EG01/3 * Digital engine temperature alarm with single bolt-on sensor AND NOW volt meter with high/low voltage alarm * 100% Australian made - Brand New Model for 2016 with extra features as standard! Freecall 1800 72 0018 for additional information (within Australia) ***Also available: Dual Sensor model- measure temperature at 2 locations at the same time! See our 'other items' listed on Ebay. Compact display- fits flush on the dashboard or surrounds. Most other systems have large display units that cannot be fitted this way, and must be installed either on top or under dashboard. The "Engine Guard" uses the latest microprocessor technology making the display unit both more compact AND more accurate. This system is entirely independent from the factory temperature gauge- you can actually see temperature changes in real time. The loud audible alarm can be set just above 'normal operating temperature', and can warn of overheating. Cheap insurance compared to expensive mechanical damage caused by overheating! NEW FEATURES: -Second input can be used as a DC volt meter with high or low voltage alarms. Great for dual battery set-ups, alternator monitoring, starting battery condition, etc. -temperature set point memory AND auto-set feature (press and hold to transfer highest recorded temp to alarm set point) -new display functions including input type, set point display on start up, audible buzzer test on start up, hi/lo voltage, etc. -both CELSIUS and FAHRENHEIT scale - owner can select for different regions Installation is
simple- no special tools or skills required. The Display Unit uses an
advanced adhesive backing, so no drilling/screwing into the dashboard.
The sensor is a simple bolt-on design that is quick to install and
versatile. Please note the suggested location in the pictures above- the
Sensor can be located in many other locations such as on the sump, on
the gearbox/transmission, oil filter, etc. The audible warning buzzer is
separate from the Display, so can be either hidden behind the
dashboard, or the wires can be extended to relocate the buzzer closer to
the driver/operator or in noisy environments. Voltage meter wiring is also simple- a single wire (supplied) can be connected to a voltage source. The voltage is displayed on the digital display as INPUT 2. The alarm can be set to trigger when either a low OR high voltage is reached. This is ideal for dual battery set-ups to warn the user if the battery is discharged below the set point. The high voltage function can be used to warn if overcharging is occurring. Comprehensive Installation and Operating instructions supplied. Display Dimensions: 78mm (w) x 40 (h) x 20mm (d) Sensor Wire Lengths: 5m Input Voltage : 12v - 24v DC Temperature Range: 0degC - 125degC Voltage Range :0vDC - 33vDC CASE STUDY BY EBAY PURCHASER - DUAL SENSOR MODEL (SEE OUR STORE FOR DETAILS- A$129) ‘Recently I
completed the installation of a GM Corvette LS3/480 HP V8 in my 2003 996
Porsche. Getting all the electrical to work has been my greatest challenge. One
of those issues has been my water temperature gauge. It will work for 30
minutes, then it faults. No one seems to know why this happens... So I had to
have a backup for my upcoming 4,000 mile car trip. I had the good fortune to
find the "Engine Guard" digital temperature gauge while I was
searching the internet. I purchased the two-sensor unit, one for water and the
other for oil temp. Both sensors mounted easily with a hose clamp. What a small
and mighty unit! I hid the head unit in my ashtray. It's easy to read, has big
numbers, and the alarm works as advertised. By monitoring the oil temp, I found
that I had high oil temps in 90-degree (32degC) plus ambient. If I had not been
monitoring the oil temp with the "Engine Guard" gauge, I could have
gotten into some serious trouble and expensive repairs. Now I'll add an oil
cooler to hopefully remedy that problem during hard driving or high outside
temperatures. Engine Guard is inexpensive, easy to install, and a precision
instrument. I'm sure there are many other uses for this fine instrument.’ Why YOU need an ENGINE GUARD overheating alarm! Factory temperature gauges fitted to most vehicles only show LARGE temperature changes- typically in three stages being ‘COLD – OK – OVERHEATING’. Actual engine temperature can change between 90°c and 110°c and the needle may not move! This is designed to give you ‘peace of mind’. Unfortunately, it can also go from "OK" to "OVERHEATING" in seconds - causing expensive engine damage. The same applies to vehicles with a warning light and NO temperature gauge. You may see the light, but by then, the damage may be done! Even mild overheating can cause serious problems. Most modern engines use lightweight materials and some have greatly reduced durability at ‘higher than normal’ temperatures. With Engine Guard, you can monitor small changes in temperature. This gives you an opportunity to reduce loading or speed, or possibly stop and check the engine BEFORE overheating occurs. The Engine Guard uses a completely separate sensor and an accurate digital display- completely independent of the factory temperature gauge. This will enable you to see changes in real time- quickly and accurately. YOU set the audible alarm to warn you if the temperature is higher than normal. You can just relax and watch the road- and that’s got to be safer! ENGINE GUARD - cheap insurance for engines! Consider these examples: · You are towing uphill, and the engine is working hard. The sharp corners need all your attention…. · The traffic is heavy. It’s a hot day. The air conditionings going flat out. It’s too busy to watch a gauge…. · You lend the vehicle to someone, and they don’t watch their gauges….. In each case, an engine may overheat and the repairs could cost you thousands. Whatever the reason, an overheated engine will ruin your day. Engine Guard will warn you, or any other driver, and this is cheap insurance compared to an engine rebuild or replacement! And it’s not just the cost- it’s the inconvenience and the embarrassment. And especially if it could be easily avoided! Simple and easy to install – Versatile – Useful! Engine Guard can be installed quickly and easily- no special skills or tools required. The simple bolt-on sensor can be fitted in minutes. It is also very versatile- the sensor can monitor virtually anything within the temperature range 0°c -125°c. It can be used on different locations on an engine, or alternatively it can be used to monitor gearboxes, auto transmissions, diffs, etc. See the User Manual for suggestions! It can also be used to trigger additional cooling fans, water injection, etc. In industrial applications such as generators or water pumps it can be used to shut down an overheating engine. It could even be used on a refrigeration plant to warn if the cooling system is failing! Don’t delay – Engine Guard today! |

Vauxhall Calibra Mk2: news of the 2013 successor
Wed, 19 May 2010By Georg Kacher Motor Industry 19 May 2010 11:54 Vauxhall and Opel are developing a successor to the swoopy Calibra coupé – and it could be on sale as soon as 2013.Conceived as a bolt-on to the Insignia family, the new two-door is known inhouse as 'New Calibra', leaving its market position in on doubt. It's likely to share cues with the original Insignia concept car, 2007's rakish GTC showster. So it's just a coupé version of the Insignia?Pretty much.
Driverless lorries to be trialled on UK roads
Mon, 18 Aug 2014Convoys of driverless trucks could be trialled on UK roads as soon as next year, with plans to roll them out on quiet motorways in the near future. Road trains of up to 10 lorries could be controlled by a driver in a single lead vehicle, with the rest of the trucks connected using wifi. Google driverless cars ‘safer than humans’ Can you get insured on a driverless car?
