Main Features (for customer)
○The battery wire (+B, red color) of the
Power Wire is not properly installed.
○The fuse is blown out.
○When the engine is turned off,
the pointers of gauges don't
point at the bottom.
○Check if the wiring is proper as per
instructions in this manual. If the wire is
installed properly, the pointers point at
the bottom after the closing mode.
○Make sure the wiring is not touched on
the vehicle body and then contact us.
○DIN-Gauge carries out the opening
mode. The check function is also
carried out during the opening mode.
○When the ignition key is turned
on, the movement of the
pointers are strange.
○This condition is normal; however, it
means "wire disconnection" or "short
circuit" when the pointer shakes at a
regular interval after the opening mode.
Refer to the "Operation" section and
contact the retail outlet where the unit
was purchased.
○The genuine water temperature's
pointer doesn't move at a certain
value except in a dangerous
conditions so as not to make the
drivers nervous. DIN-Gauge's water
temperature gauge points an
accurate value.
○The genuine water temperature
gauge points a constant value,
but the pointer of DIN-Gauge's
water temperature continues to
move.
○This condition is normal.
○In the case that a conversion adapter
or a Three-way joint is used between
a sensor attachment and the sensor,
sensors cannot measure the
accurate temperature.
○The indication of water and oil
temperature is not accurate. It
indicates lower values.
○Use a different type of attachment so that
a conversion adapter is not necessary.
○This happens because the water
temperature sensor is installed at an
upper hose coming out from the
radiator, and the thermostat opens to
circular the coolants.
○Engine gets hot gradually, but
water temperature indication
begins to go up suddenly when
a short time passes after the
engine is started.
○This condition is normal.
○Wiring is improper. ○Gauge pointers move
abnormally.
○Check wiring as per instructions in this
manual.
○Wiring is improper. ○Does not operate. ○Check wiring as per instructions in this
manual.
○Wiring is improper or connection is
loose.
○The illumination switch of the
vehicle is turned on, but the
gauge Illumination does not
come up.
○Check wiring as per instructions in this
manual.
○Connectors of sensor wires were
inserted to incorrect connectors of
DIN-Gauge.
○TEMP1 (30℃∼ 150℃) is
connected to water temperature
and TEMP2 (50℃∼ 150℃) is
connected to oil temperature, but
the display is opposite.
○Check the position of connectors as per
instructions in this manual.
○DIN-Gauge carries out the closing
mode.
○When the ignition key is turned
off, the movement of the
pointers is strange.
○This condition is normal.
○The illumination switch of the vehicle
is turned on while the ignition key is
off.
○This condition is normal. The
illumination comes up by turning on the
ignition
○It may be caused by installation
sensors.
○The car condition is not good
after installing the product.
○Ask the shop where the sensors were
installed to recheck.
●Three gauges are fitted into one DIN size.
●The front cover of the gauge has flat face glass.
●Opening and Closing mode: The needle pointers of three gauges move sequentially.
●The three meters are angled towards the driver for a higher level of visibility.
●Stepping motor
・Maximum angle 270° is controlled by the microcomputer up to 4,600 divisions(0.059°) to provide high precision in
the accuracy of information generated.
・Quick response which is sustainable in racing scenes.
●Bright transparent gauge dials and instrument needle pointers are used in the gauges to increase visibility at night.
●The lights are produced from super high bright LED lamps.
