Wiring an (Electric) Oil Pressure Guage

Post by Dadz Toy BFI »

Please HELP :oops:


I bought an Electric (rather than Mechanical) Oil Pressure Guage 8)

BUT there were no Installation Instructions in the box :x :x

Does any one have one similar and could fill me in on how to Install please :?:

It is made by HP - Hearty

Here's a few pics.

The back has terminals marked:

S : no doubt this goes to the sender unit (which was supplied) :?:
+ : must be positivefor 12v backlit
- : as above (negative)

then there are:

1 x red wire (batt pos) :?:
1 x blck wire (batt neg) :?:

1 x grey and yellow cable which terminate in some sort of a "stick on" sensor :? :?:
(Dimmer Unit) :?

The back has terminals marked:

S : no doubt this goes to the sender unit (which was supplied) ..........correct
+ : must be positivefor 12v backlit----connect to light switch
- : as above (negative)................connect to earth

then there are:

1 x red wire (batt pos) ....correct
1 x blck wire (batt neg) .......correct

1 x grey and yellow cable which terminate in some sort of a "stick on" sensor

me too got confused because there are 4 wires but two of them are for the light inside the gauge 8)

the stick on sensor is normally a pushbutton switch so jou can choose differant colours of backlighting,the black wire negetive and the red permenant + for the memory of the backlight
+=ignition+
-=negetive or earth
s=senderunit
if this doesnt work play around till it does aslong as jou connect black and - to earth and s to sender jou cant damage anything
hope jou come right
