DGS-3

GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR

Operation:

The DGS-3 gear indicator unit works with Dakota Digital’s gear position sending units (such as the GSS-1000). The gear sending unit should be setup to for one wire mode (see manual for gear sender). The DGS unit will then display a letter or number indicating the current gear.

The DGS-3 also has 4 additional indicators. These are, left and right turn signal, high beam indicator, and a miscellaneous warning light.

Setup:

The wiring chart below describes the color code of the supplied harness. All inputs are +12v.

Color

Purple

Purpose

High beam indicator

Green Right signal

Orange Left turn signal

Blue Dim

Black GND

Red Ignition

The warning indicator has two possible modes of operation:

For a +12v activated warning signal, connect the White/Black wire to ground and connect the

White/Red wire to the warning signal wire.

For a ground activated warning signal, connect the White/Red wire to +12v and connect the

White/Black wire to the warning signal wire.

The yellow wire should be connected to the one wire signal terminal on the gear sender unit. The gear sender needs to be setup to use one wire mode or the indicator will not work properly.

Mounting:

The DGS-3 requires a round hole 1-3/8” in diameter. It should be inserted in the opening from the front and the U-clamp will be installed from the back. Tighten the nut on the U-clamp so that the display is secure. Display depth to back of case is 2-1/4”. Display depth including the mounting studs is 3-1/8”.
