SPECIFICATIONS:

• Gauge Type: Temperature Gauge
• Temperature Range: 50-125°C (Metric)
• Gauge Size: 2 5/8 inch (66.7mm)
• Hole Size: 2.64 inch (67mm)
• Warning Light: Yes
• Ships With:
• 3 ft Power & Lighting Harness – for LED Lit Gauges and Clocks
• Speedhut Temperature Sensor
• Temperature Gauge Wiring Harness (2-Wire Cable)

HOW TO USE:

1. Mount the Gauge: Locate a suitable 2 5/8 inch (67mm) diameter opening in your vehicle’s dashboard or instrument panel. Secure the gauge in place using the appropriate mounting hardware (typically included with the gauge).
2. Install the Temperature Sensor: Identify a suitable location in your engine’s cooling system (e.g., thermostat housing, coolant passage) to install the provided Speedhut temperature sensor. Ensure a proper seal to prevent leaks.
3. Connect the Sensor Wiring: Attach the 2-wire cable from the temperature sensor to the corresponding terminals on the back of the gauge.
4. Connect the Power and Lighting Harness: Connect the 3 ft power and lighting harness to the gauge. Typically, this involves connecting a wire to a 12V power source (ignition switched is recommended), a ground wire, and optionally, a wire to your vehicle’s lighting circuit if you want the gauge to illuminate with your headlights.
5. Set the Warning Light (if applicable): Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to set the desired temperature threshold for the warning light. This usually involves a button or dial on the gauge.
6. Test the Gauge: Start your vehicle and allow it to reach operating temperature. Observe the gauge to ensure it is providing accurate temperature readings. Verify that the warning light illuminates if the temperature exceeds the set threshold.
