MEP-831A Oil Pressure Sender Suggestions
- Thread starter kloppk
- Start date
I would go with the same one thats on the MEP-802a, Mep803a. They are available through a few suppliers. Search "DATCON OIL PRESSURE TRANSMITTER PART NUMBER 02504" The one listed on eBay looks like a good deal. Hope this helps.
Part numbers for the oil pressure sending unit.Part number: 02504NSN: 6620-01-128-3053SMR Code: 16476

Is this for that controller board you making?

I had found a low cost alternative for the 831 sending unit. It was from the same company as the OEM. I don't remember the part number off hand. A search may show it as I listed it here as a couple other people needed them.
I found the thread. It was about the Low Oil Pressure SWITCH.
I'm looking to add a Oil Pressure SENDER to read the actual oil pressure.
I tried to PM you but your InBox is full. Might want to delete some old messages so you can receive PM's.
Might you have the part numbers for the large oil pressure Senders?
Ordered a couple off of fleabay today.
I like the idea of using the same P/N as the 802/803 for simplicity, as long as parts availability is there. Im questioning the complexity of the mounting of that big thing though and if through a hose like the 802/3 the costs would be higher.
Best of both worlds would be to find a small lightweight sender that has the same sweep/values as the 802/3 so there are options.
Just ramblings here though.

I just put a mechanical gauge on one of my 831's. Unfortunately the 802/803 sender won't work. 
Oil Pressure at startup is ~125 PSI and Oil Pressure when warmed up is 80 PSI.
Looks like I have 2 spares senders coming for my 802..
Have a 150PSI sender on it's way to try this weekend.

Sorry about that had no idea the pressure was that high.
No biggie. Shame on me, I should have done the mechanical gauge check before clicking "Buy It Now".
I can always use them as spares or for repairing other sets in the future.
That buy it now button is a dangerous button.... It needs a cover like battle short.

Sorry about that. That is what happens when I run on not enough sleep! I was thinking you needed that part, not a sender

No tag on the other big gold one,...

Would a pressure transducer work?
I received the one I ordered that's good for 150 PSI. Tested it with shop air from 20-135 PSI. It's a powered type and has very linear voltage output.
A perfect candidate for my application.
What controller you are using for this application, and what programming language it is based on?
