TERMINAL DESCRIPTIONS

Status LED

This LED is located at the corner of the control box, next to the GROUND terminal. The LED is used for diagnostics.

A steady flash, on and off, about one second apart indicates the system is powered and operating normally.

On steady indicates low power, below 9V, at the POWER terminal (the displays will also generally be dim) .

Not flashing or lighting indicates loss of power or ground.

GROUND

This is the main ground for the display system. A wire should be run from this terminal to the vehicle’s main chassis ground. Use 18 AWG or larger wire to ensure sufficient grounding.

Proper vehicle grounding is extremely important for any gauges (or electronics) to operate correctly. The engine block should have heavy ground cables to the battery, frame, and firewall. Failure to properly ground the engine block or the control box can cause incorrect or erratic operation.
