Electronics International’s A-1 instrument provides pilots with the precision and stability needed in order to accurately monitor Outside Air Temperature or Carburetor Temperature while in-flight.
Not only will Electronics International’s A-1 display Outside Air Temp with a stable, one-degree (Fahrenheit) resolution, it also comes complete with an “Ice Zone” light that alerts the pilot when the Outside Air Temperature could possibly contribute to ice forming in the aircraft carburetor.
A Monitor is only as good as its probes. That’s why Electronics International (EI) has taken the development of its probes, connectors, and accessories very seriously. EI has been designing and manufacturing probes for over 30 years. All of our probes have been designed in-house by our engineering team. Our team has studied, tested, and designed temperature probes since the 1970′s. They have written research documents such as The Pilots Manual – Leaning and Diagnosing Engine Problems and Accurate CHT Measurements. Just as a Monitor is only as good as its probes, a probe is only as good as its connector. That’s why EI’s engineering team developed EI’s proprietary OLC-1 connector. The OLC-1 connector greatly increases reliability and reduces installation errors as compared to traditional type connectors. Whether you’re looking for a reliable and accurate CHT, EGT, TIT, or various other probe types, EI has what you need. With more than a half million probes sold and tested you can count on EI’s reliability.

The R-1-6 is a great instrument. [I chose EI because of] quality.
Pleasure supporting folks with like values.
I installed a VA-1A Volts/Amps Insturment [sic] in my 1970 V35B to replace the original analog amp meter. What a great dual purpose digital gauge! Installation was simple and the product is very well made. It goes well next to my SuperClock I installed a couple of years ago. EI makes great products and this one will satisfy the most discriminating owner.
Works Great!
Fantastic customer support!
The FP-5l I had installed is easy to use and so accurate it’s almost scary. When I find a company that produces a product that good I stick with them. The fact that these instruments also look so darn good didn’t hurt either.
Good reviews and I don’t have to modify my panel. Additionally, the reps at Oshkosh were extremely helpful and answered all my questions.
While the installation is not quite done yet, I have seen the unit in my aircraft with the engine running and the monitor producing numbers. It looks very good and I cannot wait to go flying with it!
Safety and simplicity!
Easy install and great gauges. Previous experience showed that EI’s units were… great prices and even better instruments. Being able to install the gauge as a primary instrument was a major plus.
Great to have all 6 egt’s, installation was straightforward. [I chose E.I. because of] price and availability.
The display is large and clear. The functions are simple and easy to use. Great purchase decision.
