2. When used with approved ignition. Contact FW Murphy for details.

FW Murphy’s model MDTM89 is an electronic, dual-temperature monitor. It monitors two thermocouples, displays the temperature of the thermocouple selected and has adjustable trip points for each input. A toggle switch provides for selection of the thermocouple to be displayed and/or the temperature trip point to be checked/adjusted. If either trip point is reached, the associated output turns ON and can be used as a control signal or to initiate alarms and/or shutdown.

Mounting the Gauge

Mount the MDTM89 temperature gauge in a place where it will be protected from rain and splashing water. A minimum distance of 12 in. (305 mm) from any ignition coils or coil leads should be maintained. The MDTM89 flush mount case is intended for mounting in a flat panel .032 in. (1 mm) to .125 in. (3 mm) thick.

1. Cut a 4-3/4 in. (121 mm) diameter hole.
2. Drill three 1/4 in. (6 mm) diameter fastening holes as shown below.
3. Insert the gauge from the back side of the panel.
4. Using the three 10-24 screws, included with the gauge, secure gauge to the panel.

Wiring and Adjustment

CAUTION

| Perform the wiring operation with the power source OFF. Make sure the voltage and current requirements are within the gauge ratings. Keep all high voltage wiring, such as spark plug wires, away from THERMOCOUPLES AND EXTENSION WIRING. Before wiring, determine the voltage and polarity for the application.

One Thermocouple Only

Even though the MDTM89 is a dual-temperature monitor, it will monitor and display one temperature with equal results.

» When monitoring one temperature, always jumper the unused thermocouple terminals on the back of the MDTM89 with a short length of wire. The unused channel will display approximate ambient temperature.

Open Thermocouple Input

An open thermocouple input forces the monitor into upscale overrange. The monitor indicates an overrange by displaying the numeral 1 in the left most digit of the display. An overrange will turn on the trip point output for the respective thermocouple.

Thermocouple Type| Thermocouple Extension Wire| Color Code/Material
Positive Lead| Negative Lead
J| J| White /Iron| Red/Constantan
K| K| Yellow/Chromel| Red/Alumel

MDTM89 Wiring and Adjustment Instructions

Facing the dial, left side knob is Low limit contact. Right side is High limit contact.
To set limit contact, turn the knob to the desired point on the scale.

Using Thermocouple Extension Wire

1. After thermocouple installation, connect the thermocouple leads to the MDTM89 according to the instructions.
2. If the thermocouple leads are not long enough, you will need to use shielded thermocouple extension wire. The thermocouple extension wires, from your thermocouple lead wires to the terminals of the MDTM89, must be of the same material as the thermocouple lead wires. See Table 1.
3. When connecting the thermocouple extension wire to your thermocouple leads, twist the wire connections, then install wire nuts, such as ceramic type, which have no metal insert. DO NOT SOLDER.
   a. To prevent problems of interference from electrical noise, DO NOT route thermocouple wires in the same conduit or
   within 12 inches (304 mm) of ignition wires or alternating current conductors.
   b. Metallic-overbraided thermocouple wire is recommended. It provides electrical shielding as well as protection against wear and abrasion.

Connecting Thermocouple Wires (Ungrounded Thermocouple)

1. Remove factory-installed jumpers or shunts from TC1 and TC2 terminals before connecting thermocouple(s).

2. Connect the thermocouple leads to the thermocouples. Observe lead polarity. See Table 1 for thermocouple extension lead color code and thermocouple polarity.
   NOTE: Before continuing to the next step, decide which thermocouple is to be identified as TC1 and which is to be identified as TC2. A wire marker should be installed on each end of the thermocouple lead to identify TC1 and TC2.

3. Connect the positive lead of thermocouple TC1 to the positive (+) terminal of terminal strip TC1.

4. Connect the negative lead of thermocouple TC1 to the negative (-) terminal of terminal strip TC1.

5. Connect the positive lead of thermocouple TC2 to the positive (+) terminal of terminal strip TC2.

6. Connect the negative lead of thermocouple TC2 to the negative (-) terminal of terminal strip TC2.

Connecting Output Wires

1. Wire the gauge trip point outputs as shown in the Typical Wiring Diagrams section.
2. Connect the Power Wires as detailed below.
   a. Determine the voltage and the polarity of the input power before attempting to connect the power leads to the MDTM89.
   b. On CD ignitions, connect the shut-down lead to the MDTM89 ignition input as shown in the Typical Wiring Diagrams section.

Typical Wiring Diagram

Operation Test

Perform the Operation Test after the MDTM89 is installed and wired appropriately.

1. Rotate the trip point potentiometers TC1 and TC2 clockwise until an audible click is heard or detente is felt. These are 12- turn potentiometers.
   a. Start the engine or power up the monitor.

2. Set the display selector switch to the TC1 position to display the TC1 temperature. Note temperature reading for step 2b.
   a. Depress and hold the Push to Read trip point push button to display the TP1 setting.
   b. Rotate the TC1 trip point potentiometer counterclockwise until the display reading is equal to the temperature reading observed in step 2.
   c. Trip point TP1 will turn on and trip the shutdown device or alarm; verify by observation.
   d. Rotate the trip point potentiometer TC1 clockwise several turns to turn off TP1.
   e. Reset alarm or shut down device.

3. Set the display selector switch to the TC2 position to display the TC2 temperature. Note temperature reading for step 3b.
   a. Depress and hold the Push to Read trip point push button to display the TP2 setting.
   b. Rotate the TC2 trip point potentiometer counterclockwise until the display reading is equal to the temperature reading observed in step 3.
   c. Trip point TP2 will turn on and trip the shutdown device or alarm; verify by observation.
   d. Rotate trip point potentiometer TC2 clockwise several turns to turn off TP2.
   e. Reset alarm or shut down device.

Trip Point Adjustments
