This Bus Interface Module has a constant battery power input and an accessory input. The battery power keeps the

clock running and the accessory input powers the bus interface port. There are two interface (I/O) ports on the

module. Either one can be connected to the gauge system or to another module, allowing several units to be daisy

chained together. Do not connect the I/O port to anything other than a Dakota Digital gauge or BIM. Do not mount the

module in the engine compartment; it should be mounted in interior of the vehicle.

Each BIM needs a unique ID number assigned to it. It can be assigned an ID from 1 – 16, or turned off. The factory

default ID number is 7. The clock can run in 12 hour or 24 hour format. The factory default time format is 12 hour.

Page 3 Troubleshooting quick tips: While the BIM is operating, the dot in the upper left corner of the display will indicate the status. On steady indicates the accessory power is on but not receiving any bus activity. Flashing slowly indicates it is communicating on the bus. If the switch is pressed while the accessory power is off the dot will flash rapidly until the switch is released.
