AEM 30-2065 K-Type Closed Tip Thermocouple Sensor Kit User Manual

K-Type Thermocouple

The thermocouple included in the kit comes with a stainless steel compression style
mounting adapter. The mounting adapter consists of three pieces: compression nut,
ferrule sleeve, threaded body. The threaded body has 1/8” NPT male threads. To install
the sensor, the threaded body can either be threaded into a hole with mating 1/8” NPT
threads, or welded to the pipe/manifold. Remove the compression nut, ferrule sleeve,
and thermocouple from the threaded body. For a welded installation, drill a 13/32” hole
and weld the threaded body, being careful not to cause any distortion. For a threaded
installation, either thread the body into an existing hole with 1/8” NPT threads or drill a
hole using an “R” size drill bit and cut the threads using a 1/8” NPT tap. With the
compression nut and ferrule sleeve on the thermocouple, insert the thermocouple into
the threaded body so the tip of the thermocouple is near the center of the pipe/manifold
and tighten the compression nut to the threaded body.

Connecting the Thermocouple

It is recommended that you cover the wire connection with heat shrink. ONLY K-Type
Thermocouple wire can be used as an extension. Using regular wire will not work. AEM
Offers an extension kit (P/N 30-2066) consisting of the proper materials. Connect the
RED wire from the thermocouple to the RED wire on the extension harness and the
YELLOW wire from the thermocouple to the YELLOW wire on the extension harness.
Make sure the connections are not touching. Center the heat shrink over the terminals
and apply mild heat to the heat shrink until it shrinks over the connections.
