Application Information

For the vehicles using Caterpillar Series 3500 engines and having engine serial numbers after the ones listed, the thermocouples are installed in the engines at assembly.

Table 2
99W2034 -     D11N & 777    
96Z0552 -     785    
54Z0404 -     789    

If the vehicle has an engine serial number before the numbers listed above, the dealer may retrofit the thermocouples to this equipment. The part numbers for the retrofit are: 7E-6830 Thermocouple , 5N-2126 Fitting , and 6K-8179 Clamp . (See next page) A small amount of 4C-5598 High Temperature Anti-Seize should be applied to the fitting before installation.

To make a temperature test on the engine, remove the 4C-6093 8 Channel Cable Pack from storage compartment in lid and route to engine compartment. The cable pack is separated into odd and even-numbered connectors on one end. To connect thermocouple to cable pack, disconnect protective plug from thermocouple and connect the appropriately numbered cable to the thermocouple, observing connector polarity. Connect the small 4C-6095 Male Connectors to the correct inputs on the 4C-6090 Multichannel Temperature Selector . Plug the 6V-9129 Temperature Adapter into multimeter using the "V"olts and "Com"mon terminals. Connect the short output, 4C-6096 Adapter Cable to the output connector on the 4C-6090 Multichannel Temperature Selector and to the input connector of the 6V-9129 Temperature Adapter , observing polarity. Test the battery in 6V-9129 Temperature Adapter at this time and if output is below 7 V, replace the battery. Determine the correct range on multimeter (see Table 3) and select the desired scale for readout.

Table 3
Expected Temperature     Vdc Range    
Below
200° C (390.0° F)    
0-200 m Vdc    
Above
200° C (390.0° F)    
0-2 Vdc    

Note: The decimal point is not used when reading temperatures above 199.9° C or 199.9° F.

Example A reading of .565 = 565°, 1.200 = 1200°.

Note: Due to temperature adapter internal limitations, the maximum temperature to be measured should not be more than 900° C (1652.0° F)

With the channel selector switch is in the "OFF" position, the readout should display ambient temperature. Bring engine to operating temperature, load engine, and switch through the individual channels. A difference of 84° C (150.0° F) or more than the average between cylinders would be an indication of trouble at that cylinder.

To load the engine on the trucks, stall the truck against the brakes with the transmission in the highest gear. Be careful not to overheat the oil in the torque converter. On the Series D11N, implement hydraulics or 3F transmission stall should provide sufficient load on the engine. Again be careful to watch oil temperatures.

Illustration 7g02777417

Probe lengths are:

8T-0933 Thermocouple Probe , 25.4 mm (1.00 inch) long

8T-0934 Thermocouple Probe , 38.1 mm (1.50 inch) long

8T-0935 Thermocouple Probe , 63.5 mm (2.50 inch) long

8T-0936 Thermocouple Probe , 88.9 mm (3.50 inch) long

These thermocouples will plug into the inputs of the 4C-6090 Multichannel Temperature Selector , but are not designed for exhaust temperature measurements. For exhaust temperature measurements, use 6V-9055 Exhaust Thermocouple .

An optional use of this instrument would be checking temperatures on a marine engine using the above mentioned thermocouples and probe seal adapters. Any engine or transmission temperature may be measured using the previously mentioned components where a digital readout would make the job easier for the serviceman.

Thermocouple Extension Leads

The leads on the 8T-0458 8T-0933 8T-0934 8T-0935 8T-0936 Thermocouple Probes are 1219 mm (48.0 inch) long. If lead is not long enough for the application, an extension lead must be made from 7X-7481 Thermocouple Wire , a 4C-6095 Mini Plug and a 4C-9030 Mini Jack . Length of the extension lead is not critical as long as the following wiring code is used.

"-" red wire

"+" yellow wire




Illustration 8g02777436

  1. Cut 7X-7481 Thermocouple Wire extension to length desired. Split and remove approximately 15 mm (0.6 inch) of yellow cover on 7X-7481 Thermocouple Wire .

  1. Strip approximately 5 mm (0.20 inch) of insulation from each of the wires exposed in Step 1. DO NOT twist bare ends of wire.

  1. Remove cover (1) from 4C-9030 Mini Jack (2). Loosen the two small screws that are exposed after removing cover (1). Loosen screws only enough to slide exposed wire under split washer. Do not remove screws and split washers from connector body.

  1. Slide yellow wire under split washer and screw for "+" terminal. Tighten screw. Slide red wire under split washer and screw for "-" terminal and tighten screw. DO NOT WRAP WIRE AROUND SCREWS.

  1. Discard the elastomeric bushing and give 7X-7481 Thermocouple Wire a slight twist so when replacing cover (1) on 4C-9030 Mini Jack (2), the extension wire will be correctly oriented in opening for reassembly of connector.

Use the same procedure for installing the 4C-6095 Mini Plug on the other end of the extension lead.

These extension leads can also be used with the 6V-9055 Exhaust Thermocouple Probe.

Note: If temperature reading decreases when probe is placed in a hot medium, check for reversed wiring.

Troubleshooting Information

If any of the channels read the same temperature as the "OFF" position, the serviceman must locate the shorted connection before testing the engine. The multimeter may be used to continuity check the suspect channel of the cable pack. Disconnect both ends of suspect channel, measure from "+" to "-" on one end of cable: correct reading should be an open circuit. If reading indicates a short, look for a pinched cable or possibility of wiring problem at either connector.

If any of the channels reads in a "floating" manner, that is, reading continually reads higher and will not stabilize, the servicemen must locate the open connection before testing the engine. Use the multimeter for this purpose. Disconnect both ends of suspect channel, measure from the "+" on male connector to "+" on female connector, correct reading should be a short circuit. Make the same measurement on "-" side of connectors, correct reading should be a short circuit.

If cable checks good, next check thermocouple for continuity. A measurement across the pins of the thermocouple plug should provide a reading of ten Ohms or less. If reading indicates an open circuit, change the thermocouple.

Warranty Information

The 4C-6090 Multichannel Temperature Selector is warranted against defects in material or workmanship for 1 year following purchase.

Repair Information

If the 4C-6090 Multichannel Temperature Selector should need repair, send instrument, freight prepaid and insured to the address shown in Section ""Additional Contact Information" ". Include company name, customer name, address, customer telephone number, and a description of problem or service required.
