K&N A/F Ratio Monitor / Round Display

The K&N Air/Fuel Monitor is a precision instrument designed to help performance enthusiasts calibrate an optimum air/fuel mixture ratio. This device will work on carbureted, injected, supercharged, or turbocharged engines using unleaded gasoline, alcohol, propane, or nitrous oxide. It will not work with nitromethane or diesel fuels. Using the instrument to monitor the engine's air/fuel mixture ratio, a tuner can adjust for power, economy, and/or improved drivability. To "read" the air/fuel mixture, the system uses an oxygen sensor to sample the exhaust gas. The sensor "sniffs" the exhaust and measures the amount of oxygen present in the spent gases. When used as part of a computer controlled feed-back system, the oxygen sensor tells the computer (via a small electric signal) when the air/fuel ratio is rich, lean, or just right. The computer reacts to the signal by re-calibrating the fuel delivery system thousands of times per second. The feedback control loop, or "closed loop" system maintains a near perfect air/fuel ratio throughout the entire operating RPM range. Your K&N Air/Fuel Monitor uses this same electric signal to illuminate a group of 10 LED lights that correspond with an air/fuel ratio scale. Reading the scale will tell if your fuel calibration is rich, lean, or just right. Using the monitor as a tool, a tuner can adjust for peak performance, economy, and/or drivability under any load condition or throttle setting. The monitor reads oxygen left in the exhaust regardless of what fuel is used, so the number of lights and the corresponding scale remains the same. The monitor has red, yellow, and green lights that require 100 millivolts per light for a total of 1.0 volt. A K&N Air/Fuel Monitor has many uses. For example, it can be used as a guideline for preparing a vehicle for emissions testing or as a piece of dynamometer test equipment. Or calculate the amount of carbon monoxide (CO) or hydrocarbon (HC) emissions as related to the air/fuel ratio. Learning the air/fuel mixture reduces CO and HC emissions. The Air/Fuel Monitor can also be helpful tool when setting the idle mixture screws on an engine equipped with a large camshaft and automatic transmission. Chock the wheels, start teh engine and put the transmission in drive. Adjust the idle mixtrue screw until the 8th light on the monitor goes steady. The engine should then idle in drive without stalling. Installing an oxygen sensor in each exhaust pipe is an excellent way to confirm a fuel distribution problem. If you would like to monitor both banks, install a second oxygen sensor in the other pipe. Then swith between the sensors with a switch (purchased locally). * Note: The oxygen sensor in your K&N Air/Fuel Monitor assembly is not compatible with leaded fules or any fuel additive containing lead. Leaded fuel will contaminate the oxygen sensor causing it to deliver a false reading. The monitor can, however, be used to momentarily test an engine buring leaded fuel. Simply install the sensor - re-calibrate the fuel delivery system to deliver the desired air/fuel ratio - then remove the sensor to avoid prolonged exposure. Short term exposure will extend teh useful life of the sensor, but eventually it will become contaminated. Once contaminated, the sensor must be replaced to restore the accuracy of your instrument. Additionally, since there is no efficient way to test the sensor, there is no way to determine the level of contamination. Therefore, we recommend periodically comparing the used sensor with a new one. Other products that may contaminate or clog the sensor are: gas/oil mixture, injector or carburetor cleaners containing leaded additives, octane booster containing lead, and/or other "secret potions".
