The OPT-1 is more readable than the factory Cessna oil pressure/temp gauges.

Product Overview
How It Works
Prepare the Wires: Strip the ends of the wires to the appropriate length.
Crimp the Ferrules: Place the stripped wire ends into the ferrules and use the crimper to secure them.
Insert into OLC-2: Insert the crimped ferrule ends into the OLC-2 connector and tighten the set screws.
Crimp the ferrule.
Snip off any excess wire that may be protruding through the end of the ferrule terminal.
Pull on the crimped ferrule (3 to 4lbs) to ensure that it is firmly attached to the wire.
Insert the crimped ferrule into OLC-2 and tighten with a hex wrench until the hex wrench flexes (3 inches lbs). Repeat on the opposite end to complete your connection.
Pull on wires (3 to 4lbs) to ensure that your connections on both sides of the OLC-2 are firm and secure.

This is the third EI instrument I am having installed in “Lillybelle .” I am impressed with the ease of operation, the affordability and the accuracy of each of these instruments. For years I trusted my life to 50+ year old gauges. Now I don’t have to. What a relief!

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!
The installation was straightforward and quite easy. Reliability and accuracy far exceed the original [aircraft’s] oil pressure/temperature systems. Also, the price was about a third of the cost to replace the gauge cluster.

I have been installing avionics since 1996. This was THE BEST wire harness I have ever seen!
Installing [EI’s FP-5L] in my RV 6. . . owned an FP-5L 6 years ago in a Cessna 206 on floats in a commercial operation in Alaska. Getting every ounce of payload, and coming home across Cook Inlet with the Cessna gas gauges near or on empty, I spent a lot of time explaining the benefits of the Fuel flow gauge… and reassured my passengers there were 12 gallons of fuel on board. I’m a believer…
