Technical Data of the Detonation Sensors

Use MOTORTECH detonation sensors

The DetCon detonation controllers are parameterized for operation with MOTORTECH detonation sensors (piezoelectric acceleration transducers).

 

Explosion hazard!

Only use detonation sensors approved by MOTORTECH for operation in potentially explosive atmospheres.

Sensor installation

Tightening torque: 20 Nm ± 5 Nm (14.8 lb-ft ± 3.7 lb-ft) for mounting screws:

  • Cast iron engine block: M8 x 25 mm (0.98"), property class 8.8
  • Aluminum engine block: M8 x 30 mm (1.18"), property class 8.8

Tightening torque: 15 Nm ± 5 Nm (11 lb-ft ± 2.2 lb-ft) for mounting screws M6 x 30 mm (1.18"), property class 10.9 with sleeve.

If necessary, the material of the cylinder head screw on which the sensor is installed should also be considered (see section Installation of the Detonation Sensors).
