CHT-100 Operations & Installation Manual – Ver. 1.9 – June 5, 2003

 

If the instrument is left in the intensity mode without any changes for more 
than eight seconds it will revert to the last selection. We recommend the use 
of the internal intensity control for the most accurate control of the brightness 
of the instrument. 
 
 

AUTOMATIC MODE

 

 
Moving the 

A M S

 switch to the 

A

 position will place the instrument in the 

automatic mode.  
 
In this mode it will select and display the temperature for the hottest cylinder. 
All cylinders are scanned in less than one second and the display updated at 
the same rate.  
 

This mode of operation is the single most important feature of this 
instrument and should be used for all leaning and cooling function. 
 

If the instrument is switched from the automatic mode back to the manual 
mode it will revert to the last selected manual function. 
 
For complete CHT use instructions and limits refer to your engine 
manufacturers recommended procedures.  
 

DISPLAY

 

 
The bar display will display a graphic representation of the selected cylinder 
temperature between the defined low and high limits. Each bar represents 
1/10 of the temperature range between the low and high limits. 
 
For temperatures in excess of the high limit the two upper bars (red bars) will 
blink. Once the temperature cools and is within the limits the blinking will 
cease. The over temperature blinking does not occur in the STEP mode.  
 
Temperatures below the low limit will only be displayed on the four digit 
display. 
 
If the temperature is below 100ºF the display will read 

COLd

. As soon as the 

temperature exceeds this limit it will be displayed.
