Traditional Indicators

The Rogerson Kratos' Temperature Instrument Product Line consists of numerous temperature monitoring devices for the aircraft systems. The temperature indicators interface with various thermocouples, resistance detectors (RTD), and thermistor temperature sensors installed in the aircraft systems. Some of the temperatures monitored in the Engine Instrument Product Line are as follows:

• Inter Turbine Temperature (ITT)
• Inlet Air Temperature (IAT)
• Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT)
• Turbine Outlet Temperature (TOT)
• Engine Inlet Temperature (EIT)
• Oil Temperature (Engine, Transmission, Hydraulic)


The monitored temperature in the Fuel Instrument Product Line is Fuel Oil Temperature. This function is often displayed on a dual indicator with Fuel Oil Pressure.

Some of the other temperatures on the aircraft, such as Cabin/cockpit Temperature, Battery Temperature, Duct Temperature, and Outside Air Temperature (OAT) are grouped within this Temperature Instrument Product Line.

Temperature Interfaces

The indicators within this product line interface with aircraft thermocouples, resistance detectors, and thermistor temperature sensors to provide the necessary input to the indicator.

Indicator Movements

The indicators utilize various types of movements depending on the type of input received from the sensors. The most common types are Rogerson Kratos' Taut Band driven pointer, servo motor driven pointers, full LCD displays, and digital LCD numeric display. Indicators with a combination of pointer and digital LCD numeric display are also available.
