Go to  www.krgathering.org and scroll down to pictures of the 
Gathering or go to www.krnet.org and scroll down to "completed KR's" 
and you'll find hundreds of photos.

KR> Re: EIS Thermocouple Wiring

[Craig Williams]

Some of us are doing steam gauges and not GRT or engine management systems.  My 
EGT is 6 probes that go to a six pos switch and to a single Westach EGT gauge.  
Guess I can do it most any way I want as long as it works in the end.

Guys,I am totally confused. I thought that the thermal couples that i received 
from GRT (i.e. exhaust and head temp) were premade with ends installed - They 
are not to be cut or modified in any way. The kit includes extra terminals to 
cut and terminate the wires from the instrument to the correct install length 
and then connect to the thermal couple wire. Why are we talking about 
terminating the thermal couple wires, What did i miss?Joe Horton,Coopersburg,

Soldering does not create a dissimilar metal connection as such, but 
creates an alloy at the junction of the two metals, which provides a 
reliable conductive path. I have a hard time believing that the 
calibration error introduced by this junction would be anywhere near 
the  error introduced by the galvanometer (meter movement) it is 
normally displayed on (considering that there are solder joints along 
the meter path INSIDE the unit). What is the accuracy of the 
thermocouple itself, 2-5%? Perhaps less accurate?

I need to pick out a paint scheme, where can I find lots and lots!!!
pictures of completed kr2 planes? Thanks! :)

for my KR2S or there have been changes on the plans which require more
spruce the those on ACS website, as am going to build strictly by the plans
without any modification.

I used those EU style terminals on a project a few years back and loved them.  
Bought them for my KR from Mouser and plan on doing all my wiring that way.

The GRT thermocouple wires are iron and constantan.  There are no 
terminations on the wires.  Solder does not stick to well on them and even 
if you did solder the pins, you create a dissimilar metal joint that messes 
with the thermocouple calibration.  With a little luck you can also create a 
corrosion problem at the pins, not pretty.
I went to the Omega Instruments site.  This is a large outfit that 
specializes in industrial instrumentation, especially thermocouples.  All of 
their connections for thermocouple wires use tin coated screw-type clamps. 
One page even has step by step how to.  If it works for Omega, I could copy 
their system.  I found a European style barrier strip at Radio Shack that 
has tin coated screw contacts for bare wire connection.  These barrier 
strips have electrical isolation and are made for high vibration

environments found on aircraft.  The plan is to terminate the thermocouple 
wires at the barrier strip and then run copper wires to the DP-25 connector. 
I will let you know in a few days how the Radio Shack barrier strips work 
out.

If the thermocouples are like the ones from Westach, with the little male
pin on the end.  Get some of the female pins and make you a connector with
whatever size wire you like and run that wire into the 25-pin connector.
Westach can supply the female pin ends.  This is very easy to do.

I've done alot of wiring of small pins for the lighting system on a friends 
plane and found that the best thing is always to solder the pin connections 
no matter how good you think the crimp is. With a good iron it takes only 
moments to do and will keep the wires in place. If you are using a DB25 
connector (looks like a computer cable) those come as a unit which you 
solder together and then screw on the strain relief w/o crimping.

I got an email from I think a netter name Dave about a mag setup for a VW
and I open it last night and must have deleted it and my trash empties on
shut down. If you could please resend that information I will get in touch
with you. Sorry for the net traffic, but I need the mag.
