Re: Another mystery solved.
FYI, The original sensor is actually a switch, not a sender like for the temp gauge. It closes (or opens) at a certain temp (200+ degrees or something like that) and then triggering the alarm.

Why not put an aqualarm exhaust sensor and panel? Indeed it will alarm before you damage the exhaust hoses and before the overheat alarm goes off. Not sure if the sensors will work with the old Hatteras alarm but the panel is small and easy to put somewhere

As Pascal said I have Aqua Alarm flow alarms that actually go off if the cooling water flow stops. They are not expensive and easy to install and yes have a very small alarm panel of there own.Attachment 46786

Yep that's what I thought. Normally open to ground.

A generator shut down switch should work

Re: Another mystery solved.
I noticed a plate on there with screw holes about the spacing you have there.... Does this go IN or sit on top of that plate? And you have a make for that?

The disc switch has a flange. Sam's has the switches.
Re: Another mystery solved.
This is one of my spring "go-to" projects. Lagniappe's Instalarm panel had some issues that I first had to solve like missing/blown light bulbs. I was able to swap the one good working bulb around to verify that the panel actually worked. I wound up having to order new bulbs as well as new red screw-on covers, so that part is done. I also had to figure out what the extra "mystery switch" was for. It turns out that someone had wired in an audible alarm defeat switch-which was in the "off" position. Guess how I figured that out! Anyway, I might leave it but not without some identification lettering at the very least. So, we are heading back down in a couple of weeks and sorting this system out is high up on the list. What I need to figure out is exactly where the sensors are for each of the alarms so that I can confirm that they are working properly. I see the close-up pictures but what are they close-up's of? Any help in identifying where/how each of theses sensors is located would be appreciated!
