Frequently Asked Questions
How does a Faria water temperature gauge work?
A Faria water temperature gauge functions by utilizing a sender unit installed in the engine's cooling system. This sender unit contains a thermistor that changes resistance with temperature. The gauge receives this resistance signal and translates it into a visual temperature reading on its dial, typically from 100°F to 250°F.
What is the operating temperature range of the Faria Euro White 2" Water Temperature Gauge?
The Faria Euro White 2" Water Temperature Gauge is designed to accurately display engine coolant temperatures within the range of 100°F to 250°F.
Can this gauge be used on a 24 VDC system?
Yes, this gauge operates on 12 VDC negative ground but can be adapted for use on 24 VDC systems, providing flexibility for various boat electrical configurations.
What is the required hole size for installing this gauge?
For a secure and proper installation, a dashboard hole measuring 2.0625 inches (approximately 53mm) in diameter is required for this 2-inch gauge.
Is the sender unit included with this gauge?
No, the sender unit is not included with the Faria Euro White 2" Water Temperature Gauge. It must be purchased separately to complete the installation and ensure proper functionality.
