2. Presentation
The EGT-4 is a 4 channel K type thermocouple conditioner compatible with
FTCAN 2.0 protocol, Which allows it to send the sensor readings to the Power
FT product line.
It is generally used for individual cylinder exhaust gas temperature but can
also be used for air/engine temperature or to replace analog sensors and
free up analog inputs.
Characteristics
• Power Supply: 7 to 32 Volts
• Current draw: 0.05A
• Temperature range reading: 32 - 1830 F
Package contents
• Instructions Manual
• EGT-4 CAN conditioner

4. Installation
Installation must be performed with the wiring and battery disconnected. It’s
very important that the wiring harness be as short as possible and to cut off
all excess wiring. Never roll up unused wiring. These measurements will avoid
problems with electromagnetic interference, common in every electronic
equipment.
The wiring harness must be protected from sharp edges that may damage
wires and cause short-circuits. Pay attention when passing the wiring harness
through holes, always using rubber shields or other kind of wire protection. In
the engine bay, route the wiring through places that aren’t exposed to excessive
heat and won’t get close to moving parts of the engine. Plastic covers are
recommended for the wiring harness.
4.1 Mounting
The EGT-4 must be mounted to a at surface of the vehicle using the holes in
the side aps. The EGT-4 has a safety lock for the thermocouple connectors,
to lock it, follow the steps described below.
a - Loosen the two side screws (1) of the EGT-4 lock (2) and pull it out
b - Insert the K-type thermocouple connector on EGT-4
c - Place thermocouple cable tting in the lock
d - Push the lock until it touches the thermocouple connector and tighten
the two side screws

A - Black wire - Ground
B - Red wire - Switched 12V
1 - Male connector (rear view)
2 - Female connector (rear view)
3 - Terminator male connector (rear view)
4 - White/Black wire - CAN LOW - pin 3
5 - White/red wire - CAN HIGH - pin 4
6 - Any other FuelTech CAN device, like WB-O2 Nano or FTSPARK
NOTES
- The use of the terminator (3) is mandatory for the CAN network
correct functioning.
- When assembling the thermocouple, always use compensated
connectors. The yellow from the sensor is the positive terminal (+) (narrow
pin) and the red wire is the negative terminal (-) (wide pin).
IMPORTANT
If longer wires are needed in order to place the thermocouple,
always use compensated connectors (male and female) or pre-
made thermocouple extensions.
Use the same wire type if a longer wire for the sensor is needed.
The splice, the use of a compensate male and female connector
specic for type K thermocouple is mandatory.

5. Setup
The CAN communication can be congured through the FTManager software
or through the touchscreen interface.
5.1 Touchscreen interface setup
Navigate to “sensors and calibration” and then to the “EGT” option. Select the
cylinder or cylinder bank for the installed thermocouple and then specify the
input that is used. For the CAN Network select option “CAN 2.0”. Up to four
EGT-4 units are supported on the same FTCAN network.
5.2 FTManager setup
Click the “CAN Network” (1) button on the top icon bar. A list of all the
equipments connected to the CAN network will be displayed.

5.3 Connecting more than one EGT-4 on the CAN network
Up to four EGT-4s can be connected to the same FTCAN network. However
it is necessary to identify each one on the CAN network. All the EGT-4s come
from the factory set as EGT-4s A. In order to add another EGT-4s on the same
network, follow the procedure described below:
a - Connect all modules on the CAN network
b - Open the CAN Network menu (1) as shown on the previous page
c - Note that on the left of this window there is only one EGT being shown
d - Right below there are settings for this EGT, in the “serial:” box all EGTs that
are on the network will be listed, even those that are not being shown on
the left, select the serial you want to identify and click the identify button,
the LED on the EGT-4 will blink 3 times to identify which EGT-4 selected
e - The next step is to click on the “Change to:” and change the ID of the
EGT-4, and click write button, note that as of now there are more than
one EGT-4 being shown on the left of the screen
f - Repeat this procedure for the other EGTs
