D180 Sensors

[Av8r3400]

I am beginning the installation process of putting in my D180 in my Kitfox rebuild, Rotax 912UL, which will be modified with a Zipper big bore kit.

The plane originally had Westach gages, so most of the OEM Rotax sensors are gone.  I have one OEM temp probe that I will use for oil temp.

I need information on 1. CHT sensors, 2. Oil pressure sensors and 3. Coolant temp sensor.


1.  I was thinking of using the 12mm ring sensors for CHT, either under the plugs or in the OEM bosses with a fabricated adapter.

2.  I need to source an oil pressure sensor.  I believe the Dynon part suggested to use is p/n 101693-000.  Should be plug and play…

3.  I also need to source a Coolant temp sensor.  I have found reference in the installation manual to Dynon p/n 100409-000 for the 1/8" NPT sensor.  Is this sensor still available?  I can't find reference to it anywhere...

1) Those will work as long as they're type J thermocouples
2) Yes, that's the right one
3) Yes, it's still available. It's listed in our price list (it's nominally sold as an oil temperature sensor, but it also works great for coolant. Give us a call at 425-402-0433 if you'd like to order one.

Will the Westach CHT probes (P/N 712-912K) work with the D180?

(They appear to work with the SkyView)

Yep, they look to be type J thermocouples, so they'll work.
