OPT-1 Oil Pressure and Temp Instrument

OPT-1 Oil Pressure and Temperature Instrument

The OPT-1 Oil Pressure and Temperature Instrument by Electronics International is a state-of-the-art device designed to provide precise monitoring of your aircraft's engine oil pressure and temperature. This instrument replaces traditional mechanical gauges, offering enhanced accuracy, reliability, and ease of use.

Key Features:

• Dual 90-Degree Graphic Analog Displays:
  The OPT-1 features dual 90-degree graphic analog arcs, each equipped with green, yellow, and red LEDs. These color-coded indicators allow for quick visual assessment of oil pressure and temperature, ensuring immediate recognition of any deviations from normal operating ranges.

• Accurate Digital Readings:
  The instrument provides digital readings with a resolution of 1 PSI for oil pressure and 1°F for oil temperature. This high level of precision enables pilots to closely monitor engine performance and make informed decisions during flight.

• External Transducers:
  The OPT-1 utilizes external oil pressure and temperature transducers, eliminating the need for oil lines within the cockpit. This design enhances safety by reducing the risk of oil leaks inside the cabin.

• Backlit LCD Display:
  The large LCD display is backlit for night operation, ensuring clear visibility of readings in low-light conditions. The backlighting is dimmable, allowing pilots to adjust the brightness to their preference.

• Standard 2 1/4" Mounting:
  Designed to fit into a standard 2 1/4" instrument hole, the OPT-1 offers easy installation in most aircraft panels. Its compact size and user-friendly interface make it a versatile addition to your cockpit.

Specifications:

• Dimensions:
  2.50" H x 2.50" W x 3.65" D, with a 2.25" bezel.
