Product Overview
A-1 OAT Overview

OAT or Carb Temp
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.
Ice Zone Warning
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.
Reliable Probes
A-1 OAT Kit Includes:
- One (1) P-110F Fast Response EGT Probe
- One (1) P-100 CHT Probe
- One (1) P-128 OAT/Carb Probe
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.

I started with a CGR-30C. I loved it so much, I added a CGR-30P… [Your customer service] was a great help configuring it and EI gave me a great deal. I am now an EI customer for life!

Great service for Electronics International. Very helpful with what it needed for my aircraft. My mechanic has installed several of these units and highly recommended this for my aircraft.
I won a FP-[5]L and had it installed in my c150. I was/am impressed with the accuracy and ease of operation of the FP. I wanted a new tach and I trust (and verified) that the EI R-1… would be my best choice. I am not a rich man. These instruments are affordable and incredibly accurate. Already planning my next buy from EI.
