1 TEMPERATURE, PRESSURE AND fuel LEVEL GAUGES Gauge Installation Instructions RUDDER POSITION INDICATOR D. Due to the variety of steering systems, we do not include any linkage parts without rudder senders. However, our mounting kit provides the necessary parts for most applications. Please check with your dealer. E. For dual station Installation wire two gauges parallel to sender. VOLTMETER D. Temperature and Pressure Senders Remove blind plug or existing warning light switch from engine/gearbox (If applicable). Install sender instead. Cut 2- 5/16" hole in tank. Make sure float movement will not be obstructed. Remove all metal burrs. Adjust sender length (L) and float radius (R): L= 1/2 H, R" 2/3 H. E. For dual station Installation use dual sending unit and wire two gauges in parallel.

2 0-511-011-063 A. Disconnect battery. B. Cut 2- 3/32" hole in a suitable position in dash. Make sure rear of instrument has sufficient clearance from existing equipment and wiring. C. Wire Gauge according to diagram. Engine Hour Meter Quartz Clock Power Trim Gauge D. For electrical connection of sender unit refer to power trim manufacturer instruction (owners manual) D. Positive Gauge terminal must be connected to +12 V only if engine is running ( ignition switch, pressure switch) If you should not get proper readings from Siemens VDO Gauge : DO NOT attempt to open, as this voids any warranty! Check wiring, especially for proper ground. All gauges are floating grounds: you have to run a separate ground connection from terminal "- " to ground. If sender is standard ground, make sure the engine/gearbox has common ground, is grounded to same battery negative as gauges.

3 In case of sender being floating ground, ground terminal has to be connected to Gauge negative. Not for Voltmeter, Engine Hour Meter and Quartz Clocks: Pull sender lead from sending unit. Pointer must now move fully to one side of scale. Then, ground sender lead. Pointer must now peg to opposite side of scale. If both occurs, your Gauge and wiring is basically , the problem will be a defective or improperly grounded sending unit. Siemens VDO Instruments are repairable. D. Positive Gauge Terminal must be connected 12 V source. ALLENTOWN, PA USA 1- 800- 265- 1818 Permanent +12V Dash Light Switch A. Disconnect battery. B.
