Chapter 3. Operating the Display System
Chapter 3. Operating the Display System
This chapter takes you through the operation of the system so
that you can familiarize yourself with its use before you install it
in the vehicle.
Switching the Display System On
You will have switched the system on already if you have
followed the instructions in the previous chapter and have just
set the system up for the first time before installing it.
When installed in the vehicle, the system is switched on when
you switch the ignition on.
When the power is first switched on, the digital display will
immediately show a "Low Oil P" warning and the alarm light
will come on. The tachometer will reset itself by moving the
needle until it touches the stop-pin and then moving it back to
the zero RPM position. Press Switch 2 or Switch 3 to clear the
warning message from the display.
The digital display panel and the analog dial face are always
backlit when the system is switched on
If none of these actions occurs when you switch on, switch off
the power to the system and consult the section on
troubleshooting in this manual.
Changing the Display Layers
The digital display can show separate sets of parameters and
their values on the various display layers.
Each of the display layers can be displayed in turn by pressing
Switch 3. Press switch 3 when the last display layer is being
displayed in order to return to the first display layer. The Display
System will remember which display layer was showing when
the unit was switched off and will redisplay that layer at powerup.

Chapter 3. Operating the Display System
Peak Values (Tell Tales)
The system can display the peak values (sometimes called ‘telltales’) that have been recorded during a run for all the monitored
parameters.
Peak values are updated only when the engine speed has
exceeded its "gate value" for RPM for at least one second. This
allows the values to stabilize. Blipping the engine may not be
enough to update the peak values. The gate value is a predefined
RPM value that is used to control when the system updates the
peak values. This is to prevent abnormal peak values from being
recorded when, for example, the engine is either not running, is
idling or is being warmed up.
The system stores either a maximum or a minimum value as the
peak value, depending on the parameter, as follows:
Parameter Type of Peak Value Gated to RPM
Engine Speed (RPM) Maximum Yes
Oil Temperature Maximum Yes
Water Temperature Maximum Yes
Oil Pressure Minimum Yes
Fuel Pressure Minimum Yes
Battery Voltage Minimum Yes
Wheel Speed Maximum Yes
Displaying the Peak Values
Press and hold Switch 1 to show the peak values for the
parameters currently being displayed. Release the switch to
return to the normal display.
Race Dash Users Guide 9
Chapter 3. Operating the Display System
Resetting the Peak Values
You can reset all of the peak values, except the fastest lap time,
manually. All peak values are reset at the same time. If the
engine is running at or above its gate value when the peak
values are reset, they are set to the current value of each
performance parameter.
To reset the peak values:
• Press and hold Switch 1 to display the peak values.
• While holding Switch 1, press and hold Switch 3.
• With Switch 3 held down, you will see the display revert to
the current values. The new peak values that are stored are
those being displayed when you release Switch 3.
If the engine is running below its gate value, the peak values are
not reset to the current values but are set to the values in the
following table:
Parameter New Peak Value
Engine RPM 0 RPM
Wheel speed 0 MPH
Oil Pressure 999.9 PSI
Fuel Pressure 99.99 PSI
Oil Temperature 0ºF
Water Temperature 0ºF
Battery Voltage 26.0V
Peak Value Memory
The peak values are stored in a memory that is powered by an
internal back-up battery. They remain stored in this memory
when the external power source is disconnected from the system.
The system needs to be returned to Auto Meter every 4-5 years
for the internal battery to be changed. An alarm is triggered when
the power from this battery drops below a safe level and the
warning “MEM BATT” is displayed.
10 Race Dash Users Guide
Chapter 3. Operating the Display System
Alarms
The Display System has built-in warnings to alert the driver
when certain parameters either exceed or fall below their alarm
values. For example, a warning is signalled if the fuel pressure
falls below its alarm value or if the oil temperature rises above its
alarm value. You can adjust the preset alarm levels when you
configure the Display System. See Chapter 4, Configuring the
Display System in this manual.
Some of the warnings (see the following table) are triggered only
while the engine speed exceeds its "gate value" for RPM for at
least one second. Blipping the engine should not be enough to
trigger a warning. The gate value is a predefined RPM value that
is used to control when the system is to trigger a warning. This
is to prevent abnormal warnings from being triggered when, for
example, the engine is either not running, is idling or is being
warmed up.
(The oil pressure alarm will come on at power-up until the
engine is started and pressure exceeds the threshold set for the
alarm.)
The Display System has the following built-in alarms:
Parameter Alarm is triggered when the: Gated to RPM
Oil Temperature Current value exceeds the preset
value
Water Temperature Current value exceeds the preset
value
Oil Pressure Current value drops below the
preset value
Fuel Pressure Current value drops below the
preset value
Battery Voltage Current value drops below the
preset value

Making a Recording
All of the displayed parameters are recorded including the Lap
Times.
Data recording starts when the Engine Speed rises above a preset
RPM value. That value can be configured as described in
Configuring the Display System below. Recording stops when
the Race Dash is switched off or after the Engine Speed has been
at zero (engine not running) for more than five seconds.
The Race Dash can hold up to fifteen Runs; about two hours of
data. Recorded data can be deleted from the Playback Menu (see
next page).

Chapter 5. Installing the Display System
Warning Lights
The Race Dash has two built-in warning lights. One of these is
for the shift light and the other for warning the driver that an
alarm has been triggered.
As an option, you can install additional external warning lights
for these functions. External warning lights should be installed in
any position that is in the driver’s direct line of vision as they
need to be visible at all times.
Auto Meter can supply suitable external warning lights for
installation in the dashboard as well as shrouded versions that
can be mounted on top of the dashboard.
If you are using your own warning lights, ensure that the bulb
rating does not exceed 2 Watts; otherwise the Race Dash will be
damaged. If you need to use lamps greater than 2W, connect
them to relays and use the output sockets from the Race Dash to
switch these relays.
Engine Speed (RPM) Measurement
The engine speed (RPM) is measured by connecting the engine
speed wire directly to the ignition system. A single wire, with the
label ES, connects the Race Dash to the ignition system or lowtension negative side of the coil (see warning on the next page).

Pressure Sensors
Fitting the pressure sensors
The system is supplied with two 150 psi pressure sensors to
measure Oil Pressure and Fuel Pressure. These sensors have a
1/8” NPTF thread.
Optional adapters may be supplied to match the pressure ports of
different types of engines.
If you find that you have a sensor with an incorrect thread, please
contact Auto Meter for advice.
Installing the pressure sensors
• Position each sensor and its cable as far as possible from all
sources of intense heat and from the ignition HT leads.
• Each sensor can be either screwed in directly to the
monitoring point or fitted separately by using a suitable
pressure hose to connect it to the monitoring point.
• Do not screw the sensor directly into the engine block, as
excessive vibration from some racing engines can affect the
long-term life of the sensor.
• Do not over-tighten the sensors.
Race Dash Users Guide 27
Chapter 5. Installing the Display System
Temperature Sensors
The Race Dash is supplied with two temperature sensors with
1/8” NPTF thread. Each sensor can be used for monitoring both
oil temperature and water temperature.
Fitting the temperature sensors
• Position the sensors and their cables as
far as possible from sources of intense
heat and from the ignition HT leads.
• Mount each temperature sensor directly
in the appropriate fluid line. Screw the
sensor into a suitable mounting boss, so
that its end lies in the middle of the flow
of fluid.

A
VSS Pulse Amplifier Interface
Introduction
This amplifier is designed to convert the output of an existing
sensor, which generates a pulsed signal which is not compatible
with the system’s channel input requirements. This
incompatibility may be caused by insufficient voltage or lack of
output current drive capability.
The amplifier has negligible loading effect on the signal and
includes the facility to adjust its sensitivity, so can be used with a
wide variety of sensors.
WARNING! For reasons of safety, NEVER
connect the amplifier to an ABS speed sensor.
Installation
Mounting
The amplifier should be mounted, using the self-adhesive dual
locking material supplied, in a position away from strong sources
of heat and H.T. leads. It should be noted that this adhesive will
not reach full strength for up to 24 hours.
On one side of the module there is a small red LED and a
potentiometer access hole. This potentiometer is used to alter the
sensitivity and the LED is used to give visual confirmation of
correct adjustment. Access to this part should therefore be
considered when choosing a mounting position.

Using the 'dual-lock' fastener with Auto Meter sensors
This is a high opening force 'Velcro-type' fastener system with
identical mating halves. It is intended to be used for semipermanent fixing applications and is not intended for frequent
dismantling.
For best performance, the following precautions should be taken:
Bond strength is dependent upon the amount of adhesive to
surface contact development. Firm application pressure develops
better adhesive contact and thus improves bond strength.
To obtain maximum adhesion, the bonding surfaces must be
clean, dry and well unified. Typical surface cleaning solvents
are isopropyl alcohol/water mixture (rubbing alcohol) or
heptane. Use proper safety precautions when handling solvents.
Ideal application temperature range is 70-100ºF. Initial
application to surfaces at temperatures below 50ºF is not
recommended because the adhesive becomes too firm to adhere
readily.
To mount a sensor or housing on the vehicle
Take one of the supplied pieces of 'dual-lock' fastener, remove
the adhesive backing and attach to the sensor or housing.
Take a second strip of the fastener and attach to the first piece by
pushing them together firmly, ensuring correct alignment.
Remove the adhesive backing off the second strip of fastener and
attach the sensor or housing to the vehicle in the desired position.
Push against the fastener firmly to ensure maximum adhesion.
Do not try to separate the 2 strips of fastener immediately
The acrylic adhesive backing should be given 24 hours to
achieve full bond strength.
If you require further fastener strip or have any comments,
questions or recommendations regarding its use, please contact
Auto Meter or your nearest distributor.

Chapter 5. Installing the Display System
Electrical
The amplifier connects into the system via a four way Mini Sure
Seal (MSS) socket, the larger of the two connectors on the
amplifier. Use the extender cable supplied to connect the
amplifier to the WS input on the harness.
Use the vehicle speed extension harness with a MSS connector at
one end and two wires at the other to connect the amplifier to the
speed sensor.
For a two wire sensor, connect sensor wires to the white and
black wires on the cable.
For a three wire sensor, such as 5291 & 5292, connect black wire
to common ground with sensor and connect the white wire to the
sensor signal.
Adjustment
Once the system has been fully wired power should be applied.
At this stage it is desirable to arrange for the sensor to generate a
low frequency signal by spinning the wheel slowly. The red LED
at the end of the amplifier should be seen to flash as each signal
is received. If the frequency is higher than approximately 10
flashes/second the LED may only appear to dim, as the flashing
is too fast for the eye to see.
If this does not happen (the LED is always on or off) it will be
necessary to adjust the input sensitivity of the amplifier to match
the sensor. This is accomplished by turning the small screw
head, which is recessed, in the hole adjacent to the LED. This
should be adjusted until the LED flashes consistently.
The operation should be checked at the lowest possible
frequency, as this is the most likely speed for problems to occur.
Following these adjustments, correct operation can be verified by
observing the LCD speedometer at a range of speeds.

Chapter 5. Installing the Display System
Lap Timing Sensor (optional)
The lap timing sensor is actuated by an infra-red beacon
positioned at the side of the circuit. The sensor is fixed to a rigid
bracket mounted at a convenient position on the outside of the
vehicle where it is able to detect the signals from the beacon.
• It is secured by two nuts with M18 x 1mm threads.
• This sensor must be positioned horizontally and square to
the axis of the vehicle.
• In order to detect the signals from the beacon, it must be
situated outside the vehicle.
• It should, if possible, be positioned so that other vehicles
that are being overtaken (or are overtaking) at the moment
your vehicle passes the beacon do not block the signal.
After detecting a signal, the system does not recognise any
further signals from beacons for a period of ten seconds.
Race Dash Users Guide 33
Chapter 5. Installing the Display System
Trackside Infra-Red Lap Beacon (optional)
The trackside infra-red lap beacon has a threaded socket on its
base for mounting to a standard photographic tripod. It should be
located as follows:
• As near to the start-finish line as possible
• At the same height as the on-vehicle detector
• Level, so that it emits a horizontal beam
• It must be between 6 and 95 feet from the vehicle when the
vehicle passes it
• Avoid positioning it so that the sun is directly behind it
when it is being used.
• Where the unit is to be used for lengthy periods in very
hot, sunny conditions, it should be protected by shading it
from direct sunlight.
• Do not allow water to be sprayed onto the transmitter
lenses. During wet conditions, fit a protective shroud over
the beacon. Do not cover the beacon, for example using a
plastic bag.
34 Race Dash Users Guide
Chapter 5. Installing the Display System
Power supply to Trackside beacon
The beacon operates from a 12v DC supply. A sealed lead-acid
battery with a minimum rating of 2.5 Amp/hour is recommended.
This provides about 15 hours of operation.
The condition of the battery is indicated by the color of the LED
indicator on the front panel of the unit
Green The voltage is, at present, adequate for use
Red The voltage is too low (replace the battery).
No Color Battery exhausted or disconnected.
Wiring harness
The Race Dash and the sensors, switches and external lights for
your Display System are connected together by means of the
wiring harness supplied with the system.
The wiring harness can be fitted after the Race Dash and all the
sensors and switches have been installed.
This harness has been designed so that the various branches are
long enough for most applications. Occasionally, an individual
branch may need to be extended significantly. Contact Auto
Meter or your Auto Meter dealer to purchase extension cables.
Do not shorten the supplied wire harness. It is recommended that
additional length is coiled and secured away from moving parts
and high heat sources.
Extender wires for connecting the air temperature and wheel
speed sensors to the wiring harness are available in lengths of
either 2’, 4’ or 6’.
Model No. Length

Race Dash Users Guide 35
Chapter 5. Installing the Display System
Fitting the wiring harness
When fitting the harness on the vehicle, you should observe the
following:
• Start by attaching the harness to the Race Dash by
connecting the 19-way military connector.
• First position the ends of all the wires at the locations of the
sensors, lamps and switches to which each is to be
connected, but do not connect them yet.
• All wires should be as far as possible and not less than 2”
from sources of electrical noise such as ignition HT leads,
distributor caps etc.
• When you pass any wire through a bulkhead or dashboard,
fit a cable gland into the hole so that the edge of the hole
cannot chafe the wire.
• Particular care is needed when passing wires through holes
in carbon fiber, as the carbon can cut through cables very
easily.
• The heatshrink sleeving around the sensor cables can be cut
back, if necessary, to enable the sensor cables to go in
separate directions earlier. It is recommended that you
always leave at least 6” of heatshrink sleeving to provide
additional strain relief for the cable where it enters the 19way connector.
• Connect the wires when all the sensors are in position and
you have secured the wiring harness.
Wiring labels
See Chapter 2 if you need to check the labels used to identify
the individual cables in the wiring harness
Checks and Alarms
You should check the system to ensure that all the sensors are
detecting the correct values. You should also run the engine up
to its operational levels to check that the values displayed by the
Display System are accurate. You should then check out the
alarm systems to ensure that they are functioning correctly
before going out for a test drive.
