Temperature sensor:
Your new Ignite controller can have multiple temperature sensors, the default on board temperature sensor
will need to be offset to give a more accurate in vehicle temperature reading. We recommend that the new
Ignite controller is placed in the vehicle for approx 15 minutes to allow it to acclimatise. From an independent
temperature gauge, take a reading and then offset the onboard temperature sensor to match your
independent gauge. Under normal circumstances the offset should be around -7.5 (minus) to allow for heat
within the actual Ignite casing. This only needs to be completed once on first installation.
