Vegsensor Installation – 4 easy steps.

1) Locate wire 86, at the Vegtherm relay. This is the SIGNAL or TRIGGER wire. The numbers are marked on the relay where the wires connect.

2) You will be cutting that wire at a place where it is convenient to be able to connect each end of the Vegsensor wires, one to each end of the cut 86 wire. Extend wires as needed to reach where you have installed the Vegsensor (clamp it to an injector, a return line bolt, etc….)

3) The Vegsensor is simply a thermal switch. When its surface temperature reaches ~90C, it no longer allows current to pass, and the relay shuts off. When it cools to ~65C, it allows current to pass again, the relay then closes, and current passes through relay to Vegtherm via #30 (to battery )and #87 (to Vegtherm). This cycle repeats itself over and over all day long as you drive, come to a stop light, accelerate, decelerate, etc. There is therefore no need to wire a separate toggle switch. Mounting the Vegsensor with a hose clamp to the flat side of the nut on an injector is an easy way to mount.

4) The supplied connectors are heat shrink connectors. You can heat them with a hair dryer, etc. and shrink them after you have crimped them.

The Vegsensor is set to turn off the relay that controls the Vegtherm at around 90 Celsius (194 Fahrenheit), and back on around 65C/149F (these are approximations, but in that range, which is the range we want the oil to be - the test sensor results were in a somewhat tighter range of ~80C/176 off and ~70C/158F back on, but results will vary).

The Vegsensor is a thermal switch. It is very easy to wire into new or existing installations. You simply cut wire #86, the "trigger" or "signal" wire for the Vegtherm relay ( numbers are marked on bottom of relay) and attach one Vegsensor lead to each end.

Since it's a thermal switch, current will not pass once it reaches the upper end of it's temp. range....and will pass again once things have cooled a bit,

Mounting the Vegsensor on an injector nut using a hose clamp is easy.

Since we want to have oil that is 70-90C area, at the injector, it makes sense to just hose clamp the sensor to the injector. As the cylinder head and injectors and fuel are heated by whatever means, that heat reaches the sensor on the injector. Insulation can be added to shield from ambient cooling effects.

That way, if a person is not looping the return, and is instead using a Hotplate (FPHE) and lots of other coolant based heat, for example, they can run without the loop if they want to (provided fuel delivery and filter restriction from the higher flow rates are not an issue), use all the coolant heat they can, use the Vegtherm to top that up, and have the Vegsensor turning the Vegtherm on and off in that range, as sensed at the injector.
