CAUTION!
As a safety precaution, the
+12V terminal of this product
should be fused before
connecting to the 12V ignition
switch. We recommend
using a 1 Amp, 3AG fast-
acting type cartridge fuse
(Littlefuse® # 312 001 or an
equivalent).
Installation
NOTE: When the ignition is off the pointer may not always rest at zero.
NOTE: Some late model vehicles use electronic sensors in their
pressure and temperature senders for engine control
functions. Before removing the original sender, we
recommend that you contact your automotive dealer to be
sure no critical functions will be disrupted.
1. Check that you have all parts required for installation,
and the engine is cool.
2. Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable.
3. Gauge mounts in a 2 5 ⁄
8 " hole for 2 5 ⁄
8 " gauges and a 2- 1 /
16
"
hole for 2- 1 /
16
" gauges. Use supplied brackets and
nuts to secure gauge to dash.
4. Drill 1" diameter hole where wires pass through sheet metal
(such as firewall and install rubber grommet provided.
(Grommet will require slit.)
5. Connect the white wire to dash lighting or switchable 12v light
source, the red wire to switched +12V source and the black
wire to ground.(see diagram for details)
6. Install temperature sender.
A. Water Temp: Install temperature sender.
Note: Included sender is 1 /
8
" NPT. For 3 /
8
" NPT or 1 /
2
"
NPT ports, use included adapter.
power-Up
The pointer will move counter clockwise to the stop pin and then moves to the current gauge reading. This procedure is an auto-calibration
function and is performed on every power-up. While this test is being performed, the gauge may make a clicking sound. This is normal.
peak Recall
Press and hold the pEAK button to recall the highest temperature reading since the memory was last cleared. To clear the memory, press
and hold the pEAK button, and while still holding the pEAK button, press the wARN button. The pointer will move to the stop pin to indicate
that the memory has been cleared. Release the pEAK and wARN buttons to resume normal operation. The peak recall point is retained when
power is removed from the gauge.
full dial warning
This gauge features full dial warning. When a warning point is reached, the entire dial illuminates in the programmed warning color. This feature
is available for both a high and low warning set point. In addition, the warning color will flash when an over warn point is reached.
B. Trans. Temp: Hole may have to be drilled, and adapter
nut welded or brazed in pan. Be sure there is adequate
internal clearance for nut and sender.
7. Cut end of included dielectric grease packet, and squeeze grease
into connector of temperature sender prior to connecting harness.
(Important: This will protect connection from dirt and moisture.)
8. Connect red wire to switched +12V source and the black wire to
ground. (see diagram for details)
9. Reconnect negative (-) battery cable.
NOTE: Test all fittings and connections for leaks. If any leaks are
detected, determine the cause of the leak and repair.
Do not operate vehicle if any leaks are detected.
NOTE: Do not remove factory temp sender to install temp sender. If no
location found, a hose adapter can be used.
Caution: LUBRIPLATE ® DS-ES is a non-hazardous substance.
However, it is recommended to wash hands thoroughly after use.
