As a safety precaution, the
+12V terminal of this product
should be fused before
connecting to the 12V ignition
switch. We recommend
using a 1 Amp, 3AG fastacting type cartridge fuse
(Littlefuse® # 312 001 or an
equivalent).

Installation
NOTE: Some late model vehicles use electronic sensors in their
pressure and temperature senders for engine control
functions. Before removing the original sender, we
recommend that you contact your automotive dealer to be
sure no critical functions will be disrupted.
1. Check that you have all parts required for installation,
and the engine is cool.
CAUTION!
2. Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable.
3. Gauge mounts in a 2
hole for 2-1/16
" gauges. Use supplied brackets and
nuts to secure gauge to dash.
4. Drill 1" diameter hole where wires pass through sheet metal
(such as firewall and install rubber grommet provided.
(Grommet will require slit.)
5. Connect the white wire to dash lighting or switchable 12v light
source, the red wire to switched +12V source and the black
wire to ground.(see diagram for details)
6. Install temperature sender.
A. Water Temp: Install temperature sender.
Note: Included sender is 1/8" NPT. For 3/8" NPT or 1/2"
NPT ports, use included adapter.

internal clearance for nut and sender.
7. Cut end of included dielectric grease packet, and squeeze grease
into connector of temperature sender prior to connecting harness.
(Important: This will protect connection from dirt and moisture.)
8. Connect red wire to switched +12V source and the black wire to
ground. (see diagram for details)
9. Reconnect negative (-) battery cable.
NOTE: Test all fittings and connections for leaks. If any leaks are
detected, determine the cause of the leak and repair.
Do not operate vehicle if any leaks are detected.
Caution: LUBRIPLATE® DS-ES is a non-hazardous substance.
However, it is recommended to wash hands thoroughly after use.
NOTE: Do not remove factory temp sender to install temp sender. If no
location found, a hose adapter can be used.
NOTE: When the ignition is off the pointer may not always rest at zero.
Power-Up
The pointer will move counter clockwise to the stop pin and then moves to the current gauge reading. This procedure is an auto-calibration
function and is performed on every power-up. While this test is being performed, the gauge may make a clicking sound. This is normal.
Peak Recall
Press and hold the PEAK button to recall the highest temperature reading since the memory was last cleared. To clear the memory, press
and hold the PEAK button, and while still holding the PEAK button, press the WARN button. The pointer will move to the stop pin to indicate
that the memory has been cleared. Release the PEAK and WARN buttons to resume normal operation. The peak recall point is retained when
power is removed from the gauge.
Full Dial Warning
This gauge features full dial warning. When a warning point is reached, the entire dial illuminates in the programmed warning color. This feature
is available for both a high and low warning set point. In addition, the warning color will flash when an over warn point is reached.
Pro Control High Warning Set Point
To adjust the high warning set point, press and release the WARN button. The warning light will begin to flash and the pointer will move to the
previous high warning set point signifying that warning set mode has been selected. Once in set mode, press the WARN button to move the
pointer down, or press the PEAK button to move the pointer up. Three seconds after the last button press, the warning light will stop blinking
and the pointer will return to the current reading. The warning set points are retained when power is removed from the gauge.
Pro Control High Over Warn Set Point
To adjust the high over warn set point, press and hold the WARN button. After three seconds the warning light will begin to flash and the
pointer will move to the previous high over warning set point signifying that over warn set mode has been selected. Release the warn button.
Once in set mode, press the WARN button to move the pointer down, or press the PEAK button to move the pointer up. Three seconds after
the last button press, the warning light will stop blinking and the pointer will return to the current reading. The over warn set points are retained
when power is removed from the gauge.
Pro Control Low Warning Set Point
To adjust the low warning set point, press and hold the WARN button, and while still holding the WARN button, press and release the PEAK
button. The warning light will begin to flash and the pointer will move to the previous low warning set point signifying that warning set mode has
been selected. Once in set mode, press the WARN button to move the pointer down, or press the PEAK button to move the pointer up. Three
seconds after the last button press, the warning light will stop blinking and the pointer will return to the current reading. The warning set points
are retained when power is removed from the gauge.
Pro Control Low Over Warn Set Point
To adjust the low over warn set point, press and hold the WARN button, and while still holding the WARN button, immediately press and hold
the PEAK button. After three seconds the warning light will begin to flash and the pointer will move to the previous low over warning set point
signifying that over warn set mode has been selected. Release both buttons. Once in set mode, press the WARN button to move the pointer
down, or press the PEAK button to move the pointer up. Three seconds after the last button press, the warning light will stop blinking and the
pointer will return to the current reading. The over warn set points are retained when power is removed from the gauge.
Change Backlight Color
To change the backlight color:
With power off, press and hold the warning button. Apply power to the gauge. Release the WARN button. Press and release the PEAK button.
The pointer will move to half scale and the dial will illuminate with the current Backlight Color. Press and hold the PEAK button to cycle through
the available colors. Once you have selected the desired color, release PEAK and don’t press any buttons for about three seconds. The dial
will flicker white several times to indicate the desired setting has been saved and the gauge will return to normal operation with your new color
selection. Color selections are saved when power is off.

(Region A color)
Warn Color Set Mode:
With power off, press and hold the WARN button. Apply power to the gauge. Release the WARN button. The pointer will be at the stop pin and
the dial illumination will be off. Press and release the WARN button to cycle between HIGH warn color set and LOW warn color set modes. In
High Warn color set mode, the pointer will move to full scale and the dial will illuminate with the current High Warn color. In Low Warn color set
mode, the pointer moves to the minimum position and the dial will illuminate with the current Low Warn color.
To change Low Warn Color:
