Description
Veratron Oil Temp & Pressure Sensor | Boat Supply Store
Critical engine health diagnostics are consolidated with this intelligent dual-function sensor, precisely measuring both engine oil temperature and pressure. It accurately captures oil temperature across a -40°C to +160°C range and oil pressure from 0.5 to 10.5 bar, with specified accuracies of 1K between 135°C-160°C and 0.2 bar between 0.5-3 bar. This unit integrates seamlessly with existing NMEA 2000® networks after data translation by a LinkUp unit, providing essential data for offshore fishing vessels navigating challenging conditions.
