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.

Very accurate readings! The “analog” style LED arc means at-a-glance tach readings that allow the pilot to keep his attention where it matters, not reading a gauge. The digital readout is great for maintenance checks and mag drop tests.

Good support when we called with particular questions with the initial setup. We liked the functions and the price.
Always a pleasure to do business with EI. Products ship rapidly. I have been using your products for 20+ years.
The OPT-1 is more readable than the factory Cessna oil pressure/temp gauges.

After enquiring through (one of) your dealers and calling EI directly it was clear that you provided good customer service and would likely not drop the ball on tech support, and so far I have been right.
Easy installation.
[I chose the CGR-30P because of its] ease of use.

After a full IFR install on my Cessna 175, my two favorite instruments without question is the CGR-30 Combo set. Simple and customizable, the data is invaluable!
Much better quality with the bezel and buttons and knobs [vs. competition]. Also much easier to navigate and add fuel.

Great Product, that provides a lot of very helpful engine data in an easy to use and see display! We are already finding cylinder cooling issues that we would’ve never known about before, and probably explains why we’ve had to replace that specific cylinder in the past. EI customer service on questions on how we wanted to set ours up was very helpful and positive. The CGR-30 had quite a few positive reviews online from other users.
