Auto Meter 8592 - Manual

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
DIESEL EXHAUST PRESSURE GAUGES
2650-1700-00
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
3 Amp, automotive type fuse.
NOTE: When the ignition
is off the pointer
may not always
rest at zero.

Installation
1. The 2 1 ⁄
16
" gauges may be mounted in a 2 1 ⁄
16
" diameter hole. The
hole may be either a hole in the dash, a gauge panel or an Auto
Meter Gauge Pod. (It is best to connect all wiring to the gauge
before mounting it into the gauge hole.)
2. Follow the diagram below to connect 12 volt lighting.
The pointer will move backward to the stop pin and then move to
the zero box. 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.
Exhaust Particle Trap Recommendation
Wiring
To extend the maintenance period on the copper coil, Auto Meter recommends the installation of the Diesel Particle Trap kit, model #5375. The Diesel Particle
is inserted between the copper tubing and either the FSE pressure sensor or the nylon tubing used on the mechanical gauge. The trap provides an expansion
chamber for the soot particles to collect, similar to a dust collector. It also incorporates a z brass snubber to minimized pressure spikes at the pressure sensor or
mechanical gauge. It is easy to open for removing accumulated soot.

MOUNTING
BRACKET
1. Gauges may be mounted in In-dash holes, or in Auto Meter custom mounting
Solutions. Secure gauge with mounting clamps supplied. 2- 1 ⁄ 16
" gauges mount
in 2- 1 ⁄ 16
" diameter hole.
2. Drill 3 ⁄ 8
" dia. holes and install rubber grommet where pressure line passes
through sheet metal, such as firewall.
3. Attach nylon pressure line to fitting on back of gauge using adapter, ferrule,
and compression nut as shown in diagram above. Route line through grommet
Connect the nylon line to the coiled copper tube attached to the exhaust
manifold using 1/8" connector.
4. Make sure line is free from hazard of moving parts or hot engine components.
It is recommended that Auto Meter 3224 copper tubing kit be used where a
potential hazard exits.
5. Start engine and thoroughly check installation for leaks.
6. Twist in light socket assembly and connect one wire to dash lighting circuit or
other 12V power source and the other wire to a good ground.
