Introduction

These fitting instructions are to be used with the following electrical gauges: -

  1. Fuel Level.
  2. Water Temperature.
  3. Oil Pressure.
  4. Oil Temperature.
  5. Voltmeter.


IMPORTANT INFORMATION

  • only to be fitted to negative earth vehicles
  • disconnect your vehicle’s battery prior to installation


Wiring

Voltmeters

MAKE SURE THAT THE BATTERY IS DISCONNECTED

Voltmeters have only two connections (see diagram) connect terminal A to the fused side of the vehicle’s ignition and B to earth/ground via the vehicle chassis/body, i.e. any place that will take this connection back to the negative side of the battery.

Other gauges

MAKE SURE THAT THE BATTERY IS DISCONNECTED

All other electrical gauges have 3 terminals (see diagram), connect terminal A to the fused side of the vehicle’s ignition, terminal B to earth/ground via the vehicle chassis/body. Terminal C connects to the sender unit providing the input signal.


Illumination


  1. Assemble bulb into holder
  2. Install bulb and holder into the lamp aperture at the rear of the gauge.
  3. Connect one wire from the bulb and holder assembly to the power feed for the fascia lighting, connect the other wire to earth/ground via the vehicle chassis/body.


Installation

These gauges require a 2 1/16inch (52mm) hole in the fascia panel. Insert the gauge into the hole and secure with the fixing clamp, washers and knurled nuts supplied.
