This looks like a "parts for sale" Thread. But it isnt. Is this part being sold by you?

I think this is an informational thread, about a non OEM cross for the sets.

No,not being sold by me, just information on a find. I have no pecuniary interest in this.

Have you checked to see if this will work in Gen sets? Looks good, but unless your 100% sure, you might want to check.

Received my 947886 gage and installed it. Warmed up the MEP-803a to 140 degrees on the gage then engaged the load @ 240vac on the set meter @ about 80% load. The set warmed up further and stabilized.
The temp gage is reading about 2 needle widths above the 200 degree mark on the gage and no coolant high temp fault light. Although my previous gage read right at 185 degrees (but failed after a couple of years), in my opinion, this replacement gage is sufficient to run with this/these sets as at least a "ballpark" indicator of engine temp conditions.
I ran the set for an hour @ 80% load, no change in temp.

This is the circuit I'm going to try to calibrate the reading on the gage. Although the diagram shows 12v, I'm confident that it will work for a24v system also.

Nice ! Thanks
I posted this about a year ago. The Datcon part numbers below have worked very well for me so far. As far as I'm concerned there's only 2 types of Beede gauges. Broken and about to be broken.
I have used all 3 of the following Datcon gauges. All have worked perfectly for me with the senders that came on my 802a. I bought a second of each for when the Beede gauges fail on my NOS 802a. There are also 24v light kits available from the same vendor.
