for the display to come on. From the second time, the display will take approximately 10 seconds to appear. * Same for reconnecting the OBD Connector.

【Reference】Notes about using the OBD Connector

M a k e s u r e t o g r i p t h e d i s t e n d e d p o r t i o n s w h e n pulling it out or inserting it.

CAUTION

Do not pull on the wires when trying to remove the connector; the wires may become disconnected.

If you unable to get a grip on the distended portions.

In such case, pull out the connector by pulling on the e n d o f t h e zip tie.

W i t h s o m e c ar m o d e l s i t m a y be difficult to get a g o o d gr i p o n the connector.

About Using OBD Products in Combination

If you wish to use DUAL GAUGE in combination with products in our 3-drive Series (FLAT or COMPACT),

PROGAUGE the “OBD2 Wiring Kit OBD - EH” (sold separately ¥3,200) makes installation a snap.

For more details about using combinations of products see here.

http://pivotjp.com/obd-e/

* When using the DUAL GAUGE with products mentioned above, they can only be used together in compatible model vehicles for both products.

Connecting Oil Sensor

To display Oil temperature, you m u s t p u r c h a s e Te m p e r a t u r e sensor (DTS ¥3,800) which is sold separately.

Basic Operation

1 Key Switch ON

(Engine start)

2 Opening Demo 3 Display Each Mode

Opening Demo

●When the key is turned ON the needle will move to the extreme left several times for searching position. Then it will move to the maximum value and finally to reading for current measurement item.

●Due to analyzation time for the car data transmission it may take up to a few seconds from engine start before opening demo.

4 Key Switch OFF

(Engine stop)

5 Meter OFF

The needle stops in the vicinity of lowest value.

Turning off the Display

●Due to analyzation time for the car data transmission, the illumination may remain on for up to 3 minutes even after the engine has been turned off; this is normal and no effect on the vehicle performance.

Reset the Peak Value

Only the peak value on display will be reset. This will return to the Real-time Display for the currently displayed mode.

* Peak readings are reset when the key is turned OFF.

* For Boost, Vacuum, RPM, Water Temperature and Oil Temperature the high will be shown and for Voltage the low will be displayed.

* If you wish to check the loss of voltage upon operation of the starter, turn the key to the ON position and after the digital display comes on, operate the starter.

Troubleshooting

Trouble Possible Causes Possible Solutions

Does not work with Engine start.

Upon starting up, the unit will start in the newly changed display.

Before the opening demo star ts the needle briefly moves.

The displayed values are different from the standard meter.

Poor connection of Gauge cable ,

7-pin Connector and OBD Connector .

The unit has been installed into an incompatible car model.

Please reconfirm whether wiring and connections are correct or not.

Please check the “Fitting List” .

OBD Connector was connected when the key switch was set to OFF, or car battery was changed.

Connect again OBD Connector when the key switch is set to ON (engine start).

Because after changing displays, if the car’ s engine is turned off within 3 seconds, the new setting will not be stored, make sure to wait at least 3 seconds before turning the engine off.

This is due to a special characteristic of the meter and is not a malfunction.

The key switch is set to ON, Needle of

Boost / Vacuum shows minus value.

The Oil Temperature displays do not change from ---

.

, or do not show the value with connecting the sensor.

Due to the ECU information received, the displayed values on this product may differ from those of standard or other meters.

This product’ s boost meter reads absolute pressure and may differ from a meter using relative pressure.

Absolute pressure sensor shows the value which subtracted atmospheric pressure.

(Example : 700m above sea level = Minus 8kPa)

Poor connection of Temperature sensor or breaking of wire.

Please reconfirm Temperature sensor whether wiring and connections are correct or not.
