For
reliability and durability reasons, E.I. will only manufacture ungrounded
EGT probes. Ground noise at the engine can be a big problem for any piece
of electronic equipment. Grounded probes transmit this noise back to the
instrument. Grounded probes can also produce ground loops between the
engine ground and the instrument ground. All of these problems result
in jumpy, unstable instrument readings. In order to try to eliminate these
problems some manufacturers use excessive filtering in their instruments,
but this only results in a slow probe/instrument system response time.
Theres just not a good fix for a grounded probe. E.I.s ungrounded probes
eliminate the problems associated with gound noise and ground loops, providing
a stable display and fast system response time. An engine analyzer MUST
be coupled with a well-designed EGT probe to achieve excellence in the
total analyzer/probe system.
