Sensors for Other Piston Engines
- Many other piston engines can be monitored using the supported
engine sensors shown in
, along with custom engine sensor configuration as described in
for GDU 37X units, or
for GDU 4XX units.
For a GDU 37X system, or if a single GEA 24 or GSU 73 is installed, engines with up to 6 cylinders can be
monitored. A GDU 4XX system with dual GEA 24 EIS units installed can monitor a single engine with up
to 12 cylinders, including radial engines, or twin engines with up to 6 cylinders each (see
). For large
single-engine applications, cylinders 1-6 are connected to GEA 24 #1 and cylinders 7-12 are connected to
GEA 24 #2. (see
)
