2 Thank you for purchasing the Vacuum Fluorescent Digital Dashboard from DAKOTA DIGITAL, the leader in custom automotive electronics. Represe nting the latest electronics dashboard technology for the .
3 WARNING The vacuum fluorescent displays are made of glass and should be handled with care. Use extreme care around the glass evacuation tubes (small tubes at the bottom of each display) as bumping them may cause breakage and render the d isplay useless.
4 MOUNTING KIT S INTO ORIGI NAL DAS HES W hen installing the display system into the original bezel, several steps must be taken to prepare the bezel. The first is to remove the cluster from the dashboard and all instrumentation from the bezel. You should essentially be left with a bare chrome or metal bezel.
5 Wiring the contr ol box into the v ehicle. +12V Connect the +12V terminal to accessory power from the fuse panel or vehicle wiring harness. This terminal should ha ve power w hen the key is on or in accessory position. In addition to powering the display system, this is also where the voltmeter gauge senses the vehicle electrical system voltage.
6 SPEED The vehicle speed sensor (VSS) connects to this to tell the system how fast the vehicle is moving. For two wire speed sensors, like the one Dakota Digital supplies with this system, the polarity of the wires does not matter. Connect one wire to ground and the other to the speed terminal.
7 A single wire should be run from the terminal on top of the water sende r to the control box terminal marked W ATER. If your w iring harness already has a wire route d through the vehicle for the water temperature then it may be used. Do not route the water sender wire along side a spark plug wire or other high current or high voltage wires.
8 A single wire should be run from the fuel sender to the control box terminal marked FUEL. If your wiring harness already has a wire routed through the vehicle for the fuel sender then it may be used. If using a wire from an existing harness, make sure that the wire does not have power.
9 BRAKE The BRAKE terminal can be used as a brake system warning indicator. The BRAKE input is activated by a ground signal from the brake pressure switch on the master cylinder or from the parking brake set switch.
10 MPH/KPH The MPH/KPH terminal is activated by a 12 volt signal from a push button or toggle switch(not supplied). W hen the display system is in English mode (MPH & ° F) by placing DIP programming switch #7 off, applying 12 volts to this terminal will convert the speed reading from MPH to KPH.
11 Insert cable with red stripe to right side. Optional display power connector found on some systems..
12 Setting up the c ontrol box SPEEDOM ETER CALIBRATION The speedometer calibration is done using the TRIP and RESET switches. There are two different ways to calibrate the speedometer. The first method control box uses an auto-cal mode where you drive one mile (1 km for metric) and t he system automatically adjusts the speedometer calibration.
13 TACHOMET ER DIP SWITCH SET TINGS The control box will work with 4, 6, 8, and 10 cylinder ignition system s. The DIP programming switches are located inside the control box, so the cover must be carefully removed to get access to the switches.
14 GAUGE W A RNI NG FE ATURE The gauges have the built in feature to alert you when they are outside their normal operation range. The fuel display will flash whenever the fuel level is below 10% to indicate low fuel. The voltage gauge will flash whenever the system voltage is below 11.
15 WIRE COLOR C ODE FOR GM W IRING HARNE SS On the connector that originally plugged into the inst rument cluster: Function Color ------------------------------------------------------------------- +1.
