Hello everyone!

Does anybody have any good photos of typical wiring installation of any of these sensors? Searched the site, pics and or comments were hard to find.

As with any wire schematic, there is always room for interpretation.

Example, Garmin suggests running a 2 shielded wires from their engine monitor to the CHT.

Garmin's comment early in the manual says to keep wires as short as possible.

Q: Do I run both CHT wires out over the engine, and ground the (LO) signal wire to the nearest ground point on the cylinder head,

OR should I simply run this (LO) to the ground bus on the cold side of my firewall?

What are some best practices for typical sensors for CHT, EGT, Oil Temp, Water Temp, etc.

Any builder pics of these would be a great help.

Thank you!








oil temp?

I used the Dynon Skyview system with their engine monitor module and their probes for the 912. I wired them EXACTLY as the installation manual said. When I fired it up for the first time there were zero problems.
