New Standard Features on ALL models:
- Automatic alarm set-point adjustment- making it easier and quicker to calibrate the system. Just install the system and operate the vehicle or machinery for a week or so and the highest temperature will be recorded. Then use the in-built memory function to transfer the highest operating temperature over to become the alarm set-point- this is as simple as pressing and holding the set button! Just increase by a few degrees to give you the best possible warning of overheating
- Displays either Celsius OR Fahrenheit
- Audible alarm test on start-up (optional)
- Displays both input type and set-point on start-up

CASE STUDY BY EBAY PURCHASER - DUAL SENSOR MODEL (SEE OUR STORE FOR DETAILS- A$129)
‘Recently I
completed the installation of a GM Corvette LS3/480 HP V8 in my 2003 996
Porsche. Getting all the electrical to work has been my greatest challenge. One
of those issues has been my water temperature gauge. It will work for 30
minutes, then it faults. No one seems to know why this happens... So I had to
have a backup for my upcoming 4,000 mile car trip. I had the good fortune to
find the "Engine Guard" digital temperature gauge while I was
searching the internet. I purchased the two-sensor unit, one for water and the
other for oil temp. Both sensors mounted easily with a hose clamp. What a small
and mighty unit! I hid the head unit in my ashtray. It's easy to read, has big
numbers, and the alarm works as advertised. By monitoring the oil temp, I found
that I had high oil temps in 90-degree (32degC) plus ambient. If I had not been
monitoring the oil temp with the "Engine Guard" gauge, I could have
gotten into some serious trouble and expensive repairs. Now I'll add an oil
cooler to hopefully remedy that problem during hard driving or high outside
temperatures. Engine Guard is inexpensive, easy to install, and a precision
instrument. I'm sure there are many other uses for this fine instrument.’

Why YOU need an ENGINE GUARD overheating alarm!
Factory
temperature gauges fitted to most vehicles only show LARGE temperature
changes- typically in three stages being ‘COLD – OK – OVERHEATING’.
Actual engine temperature can change between 90°c and 110°c and the
needle may not move! This is designed to give you ‘peace of mind’.
Unfortunately, it can also go from "OK" to "OVERHEATING" in seconds -
causing expensive engine damage. The same applies to vehicles with a
warning light and NO temperature gauge. You may see the light, but by
then, the damage may be done!
Even mild overheating can cause serious problems. Most modern
engines use lightweight materials and some have greatly reduced
durability at ‘higher than normal’ temperatures. With Engine Guard, you
can monitor small changes in temperature. This gives you an opportunity
to reduce loading or speed, or possibly stop and check the engine BEFORE
overheating occurs.
The Engine Guard uses a completely separate sensor and an
accurate digital display- completely independent of the factory
temperature gauge. This will enable you to see changes in real time-
quickly and accurately. YOU set the audible alarm to warn you if the
temperature is higher than normal. You can just relax and watch the
road- and that’s got to be safer!
ENGINE GUARD - cheap insurance for engines!
Consider these examples:
· You are towing uphill, and the engine is working hard. The sharp corners need all your attention….
·
The traffic is heavy. It’s a hot day. The air conditionings going flat out. It’s too busy to watch a gauge….
·
You lend the vehicle to someone, and they don’t watch their gauges…..
In each case, an engine may overheat and the repairs could cost
you thousands. Whatever the reason, an overheated engine will ruin your
day. Engine Guard will warn you, or any other driver, and this is cheap
insurance compared to an engine rebuild or replacement! And it’s not
just the cost- it’s the inconvenience and the embarrassment. And
especially if it could be easily avoided!
Simple and easy to install – Versatile – Useful!
Engine Guard can be installed quickly and easily- no
special skills or tools required. The simple bolt-on sensor can be
fitted in minutes. It is also very versatile- the sensor can monitor
virtually anything within the temperature range 0°c -125°c. It can be
used on different locations on an engine, or alternatively it can be
used to monitor gearboxes, auto transmissions, diffs, etc. See the User
Manual for suggestions!
It can also be used to trigger additional cooling fans, water injection,
etc. In industrial applications such as generators or water pumps it
can be used to shut down an overheating engine. It could even be used on
a refrigeration plant to warn if the cooling system is failing!
