UNIVERSAL 5 GAUGE DIGITAL DASH PANEL

Note:  To prevent electrical noise from causing the gauges to act abnormally, check to make sure that any signal wire between the senders to the gauges does not run next to the ignition system or spark plug wires.  Resistor-type spark plugs and wires that are in good condition are also suggested.

1.   Connect the BLACK (GND) wire to a good chassis ground. The best location is on the engine block. The included sending units provide a resistance value to the gauges.  If any additional resistance is seen (because of having the grounds of the sending units and gauges grounded at different locations) the readings on the gauges will be inaccurate.

2.   Connect the RED (+12V) wire to the ignition switch circuit or an accessory fuse.

3.   Connect the PURPLE (DIM) wire to the vehicle’s headlights.  This will cause the display brightness to dim by 50% when it receives +12 volts.

4.   Connect the WHITE (LTURN) wire to the left turn signal.

5.   Connect the WHITE (RTURN) wire to the right turn signal.

6.   Connect the BROWN (HIGH B) wire to the high beam.

7.   Connect the ORANGE (OIL) wire to one of the poles on the new oil pressure-sending unit.  Connect the other pole on the sending unit to ground.  This is an isolated ground sender, so it does not matter which pole you connect to.

8.   Connect the BLUE (TEMP) wire to the new water temperature-sending unit.  Make sure not to use Teflon tape on the threads because the sender must be grounded to operate properly.

9.   Connect the GRAY (SPEED) wire to the tan wire on the new speedometer sending unit (if needed).

10. Connect the black wire on the sending unit to a good ground, preferably to the same location as the ground from the digital panel.

11. Connect the YELLOW (FUEL) wire to your fuel level-sending unit and make sure that the fuel-sending unit is also properly grounded.  This fuel gauge is designed to be used with an industry standard 240-33 ohm fuel level-sending unit.  If you need a digital panel for a GM, Ford, or Chrysler fuel level sending unit please contact the factory.  This gauge reads in 0-99% remaining, not gallons.

DIGITAL PERFORMANCE SPEEDOMETER

SPEEDOMETER FEATURES

The speedometer has 2 displays:

1.   A 3-digit speed display that displays 0 to 300 MPH, 0 to 60 MPH elapsed time, ¼ mile elapsed time.

2.   A 5-digit odometer display that displays total miles accumulated up to 99,999 miles, a resettable trip odometer that displays up to 999.9 miles and the programmable calibration constant for the speedometer input.  The speedometer comes preset with 8000 pulses per mile.

The speedometer is reprogrammable for different tire sizes and/or rear-end gear ratio changes.

BASIC OPERATION

1.   When the gauge first powers up, the default display mode for the gauge is for the speedometer display to show your speed and the odometer display to show the total miles traveled.

2.   When the pushbutton is momentarily pressed, the odometer display is now your trip odometer (a decimal point should be seen in the odometer display).

3.   If the pushbutton is pressed and held while in the trip odometer mode display, the trip odometer is cleared.

4.   Momentarily pressing the pushbutton again causes the odometer display to go back to showing your total miles traveled (default display mode).

PERFORMANCE DATA

To clear all stored Performance Data from memory (Note: The memory must be cleared before you begin a new run and record a new 0-60 MPH / quarter mile data):

1.   Your vehicle must not be moving (or else inaccurate data will be recorded).

2.   From the default display mode, press and hold the pushbutton (for a few seconds) until the odometer display shows “HI-SP” then release the pushbutton.

3.   Allow the gauge to cycle through the entire Performance Data until it returns to the default display mode.  This will clear from memory all the data and your vehicle is now ready to store new values in memory.

To display the stored data collected after having run your vehicle:

1.   With the odometer in the total miles traveled setting (default display mode), press and hold the pushbutton (for a few seconds) until the odometer display shows “HI-SP” then release the pushbutton.  The speedometer display will show the highest speed reached.

2.   The gauge will automatically change the odometer display to show “0-60”.  The speedometer display will show the time it took to reach 60 MPH.

3.   The gauge then changes the odometer display to show “1/4".  The speedometer display will show the speed reached when a quarter mile is reached.

(Note: The stored data can only be seen once. Repeating this procedure will clear the stored data for the next run.)

4.   The gauge then changes the speedometer display to “CAL”.  The odometer display will show the number of pulses the gauge is calibrated for in a mile (generated from a speedometer sender or from a computer).

5.   The gauge will now return to the default display mode (speedometer display will show your speed and odometer display will show the total miles traveled).

CALIBRATION

1.   First bring your vehicle to the beginning of a measured mile.

2.   With the gauge in its default display mode (speedometer display will show speed and odometer display will show total miles traveled), press and hold the pushbutton until you get into the Performance Data described earlier.  Release the pushbutton when the odometer display shows “HI-SP”.

3.   When the speedometer display changes to “CAL”, momentarily press the pushbutton to enter the calibration program.  The odometer display will show ”PROG”.

4.   Momentarily press the pushbutton.  The speedometer display will show “CAL” and the odometer display will show “0”.  The odometer will be displaying the accumulated number of pulses counted while your vehicle is moving.

5.   Begin driving your vehicle (speed moving doesn’t matter) the distance of the measured mile.  As you are moving, the odometer display should show the number of pulses counted increasing.

6.   At the end of the measured mile, stop the vehicle and momentarily press the pushbutton.

7.   For a few seconds, the odometer will display the number of pulses counted during the measured mile.  It will then return the default mode.  Your speedometer is now calibrated.
