So i sold my edge box to get a smarty. But the smarty doesnt have the turbo cool down feature that i like about the edge. I was looking into the bd cool down timer and read that it will use any 'k' type probe. The same as isspro uses, which i already have as gauges. My question is this.... Can I, or has anyone tried to, use the same probe to feed both the gauge and the cool down timer. I was wondering if it will effect the readout at all? Thanks

 

I've done it, there is a little difference, maybe 50 degrees, but it did not seem to affect anything.

I did, however, clean the contacts really good with some sandpaper, put dielectric silicone on them, (a little) then weather proof the connections.

 

If the device is designed for a type K thermocouple then you can stack several reading devices on one but they must have high impedance inputs so it does not load the signal from the thermocouple.

A quick check of signal loading. Have the truck idle and connected to the isspro gauge. Have someone watch the gauge while you connect the second device. If it drops then you have loaded the signal down if it does not drop then you are good to go.

 

thanks guys. Sounds like it should work. I do beleive i will give it a try.

 

I did the same on my 99 with the edge attitude monitor and my pyro. no problems
