Seen some people who have these gauges, those little digi ones.

Where are people getting them from and are there any others to consider?

 

I would guess RS Components or Demon Tweeks.

I personally have mine with a dual SPA Gauge.

 

Maplins....... cheap as chips,runs off an AA battery that lasts for a year,cycles every second..... does the job

 

yup,i got the maplins one, but it only goes upto 70 degrees,but hey,if it gets that hot,i`ll slow down i guess !

u just need to solder a wire on th eback to make it cycle every 1 second,otherwise it cycles every 15 seconds

 

Hi mate what are they called I will go get one tomorrow and where is the best place to fit it?

 

Temperature Module

Here you go from the maplins web site,check for your local stockist,or do what i did and give them a bell to deliver.... less than £15 and a little soldering and its good to go

You want the module,bezel and temp probe underneath....

 

Don't have solderin iron and they're 28+ days delivery, are there any others that are literally plug n' play?

 

Not for that money mate....... mine took a couple of days to turn up,they say to allow 28 days for delivery,not it will take that..... (unless completly out of stock i guess )

 

im lucky,local maplins 10 mins from where i work

i didnt get the facia tho,they said it was an internet order part only, its like 12p i said, postage is like £3 hows that make sense !

didnt need it anyway but was still a bit miffed.

will get a pic of mine

 

Yeah, will be good to see.

 

Well i ordered one from Mocom. Fitting thur.

 

What wire needs soldering? Anyone got any pics?

 

Just ordered these from maplin, 1-3 days delivery
Just a quick question, where do you place the probe ie in the i/c or the inlet pipe ?
thanks chris

 

They also offer this on:
Maplin > Small Temperature Module
£9.99 complete but cycles evry 15 seconds

 

That one looks better but it isnt, only telling u every 15 seconds isnt really ideal when u need to know now now now what the temp is,the other one is every second so much better and accurate.

it only needs soldering across pin 1 and 8 or something like that, at the top of the unit there are copper connections,its across here the wire goes.

 

Right its just arrived.
can anyone tell me where to solder the wires ?
thanks chris

 

read the leaflet,it tells you in there,its the brass/copper segments at the TOP of the unit the wire goes across,think its 1 and 8 or something like that to make it register every 1 second.

 

Yea everything needed to get it working as you want is listed in the leaflet...
