Dakota Digital ODY-16-1 Operation, Setting the time, Adjusting the accuracy, Wiring, Mounting

Introduction:

The Odyssey gauge series from Dakota Digital, Inc. incorporates the reliability and quality of our standard gauges, along with several unique features and easy mounting. These features include:

•Quartz accuracy.

•Night dimming feature.

•Very low standby power to prevent battery drain.

•High Visibility VFD display for sunlight readability.

The Odyssey series clock displays the current time in 12 hour format. The high brightness display matches our other Odyssey and STR series gauges and has the same night brightness dimming capability.

Operation:

The gauge needs the red, orange, and black wires connected to operate. The red wire should have switched 12 volt power from an ACC. point on the fuse panel. The orange wire should have constant 12 volt power. The black wire should be connected to a good ground point. When the blue wire has 12 volts, it will dim the display for night viewing.

Setting the time:

Using a small, thin object such as a toothpick or pin, press “set” buttons through front lens access holes. The access holes are on the right side of the lens. Top “set” button advances hours, bottom “set” button advances minutes. Each time that you make a change to either the hours or minutes, the seconds are reset to zero.

Adjusting the accuracy:

The clock is accurate to +/-2 minutes a month as it is sent. It can be tuned for better accuracy if desired. Press and hold both of the set buttons for several seconds. The clock will display “C 0”. The “C” indicates that it is in the calibration mode and the second number is the current calibration value. The calibration value indicates the number of seconds to add or subtract each day. The clock can be adjusted from +7 sec/day to -7 sec/day.

Press the minute set button to change the cal value. Press the hour set button to return to normal clock operation.

Wiring:
BLACK	-	connect to a good ground point in the vehicle.
RED	-	connect to switched 12 volt power point.
		(An accessory terminal will work for this.)
ORANGE	-	connect to a constant 12 volt power point.
		(This will keep the correct time.)
BLUE	-	connect to the tail light circuit.

Mounting:

The gauge requires a rectangular cut out that is about 2 15/16“ x 1 11/16“. It should be inserted into the opening from the front and the U-clamp will be installed from the back. Tighten the two nuts on the U-clamp so that the gauge is secure. Figure 2 shows the required cut out for the gauge. Figure 3 shows how the gauge mounts.
