XMonitor
Benefits of installing the XMonitor:
- Operating pressures and temperatures can easily be read with a simple glance.
- The display brightness can be set for driver comfort.
- The peak operating levels can be set to flash warning for safety.
- The low mount does not restrict vision.
The exhaust temperatures are monitored with a Pyrometer probe inserted in the exhaust flow. The probe can be mounted before of after the turbocharger. If mounted after the turbo the temperatures will vary from 300° F to 1000° F. If mounted before the turbo temperatures of 300° F to 1200° F will be normal working levels. Select the temperatures that should not be exceeded and the numbers will flash when it is attained.
It is hard to have too much turbocharger boost pressure but if you have too little under a hard pull the result can be high operating temperatures.
Transmission oil temperatures will reflect how hard you are working the transmission. The oil begins to break down quickly once it reaches 270° F. Higher temperatures cause transmission life to shorten, set the limit at the 250° F and increase the operating life.
Traditional round Analog gauges and mounts are also available, please scroll the page down to view them.
Gauges and Holders
Stay on top of what is happening in your engine with the proper gauges from BD; a Pyrometer will monitor exhaust temperatures, a Turbo Boost gauge will keep track of a turbo charger, a Back Pressure gauge will monitor exhaust brake performance and an Oil Temperature gauge will insure that you are aware of how well your transmission is functioning. A variety of mounts are available. |
