Technical Information

The Engine Watchdog TM4 is used by professional racing teams for good reason -

 

-TM4 uses the most reliable monitoring method

All engines radiate heat to their outer casing at a constant rate (air cooled engines depend on it). The TM4’s electronic ‘Easy Fit’ heat sensor simply fits like a washer under any suitable bolt that is close to the cylinder head or engine block. Here it accurately monitors the engines metal temperature and if overheating is detected for any reason, the TM4 alarms with an alarm light, loud buzzer and ‘Engine Hot’ message. The transmission sensor similarly bolts to the outer casing of the transmission or gear box.

-The TM4 tells you exactly what’s going on under the bonnet

Many factory fit gauges indicate normal after you drive just a few kilometres and then do not alter on even the hottest days. Obviously the engine temperature is constantly altering as you drive in varying traffic and road conditions, yet the gauge is not responding. This is because they have a 'flat spot' around the normal mark and will not move until something is very wrong, often once it is too late. The TM4 has the sensitivity required to display every temperature change as it occurs and in an emergency will alert you before your existing dash gauge has even moved.

-TM4 comes standard with the option to turn your existing dash oil light, into an ‘Audible Warning Light’

If this optional wire is tagged to the engine’s Oil Light Sender new messages will display on the screen. The new messages are ‘Engine Delay', this gives you time to start the engine before the audible oil alarm activates. The‘Low Oil’ message and the alarm buzzer will active if low oil pressure is detected while you are driving. (Not suitable for oil gauge sensors, if you want this feature an inexpensive car type 'oil sender' needs to be fitted)

-You can program theTM4’s alarm sensitivity to suit your engine

With a TM4 you don't even need to know your engine or transmission temperature specifications to set the overheating alarms. You simply note the highest temperature your engine and transmission reaches during normal driving, and then set the audible alarms to go off at a few degrees higher by pressing the button on the front. You get to set the alarm sensitivity and it's no harder than setting an alarm clock.

If the alarm goes off while the engine is working hard, you can simply press the front button to stop the alarm, or give it another press to increase the alarm temperature.

-The TM4 is very easy to fit

TM4’s can be fitted by any home handyman. The main unit fits under the dash (Compact size- 80 x 30 x 60 mm, plus mounting tabs). The ‘Easy Fit’ temperature sensor takes a few seconds to bolt to the engine and transmission. The power just plugs into the cigarette lighter socket or it can be hard wired. TM4 suits 12 or 24 volt systems.

-The TM4’s sensor cannot cause coolant leaks or void the engine’s warranty

The TM4 is perfectly safe to fit because it does not require you to break into the cooling system in any way.
