This Bus Interface Module has inputs for up to two devices to be monitored. Each channel can be configured
individually. 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 sensor connected to the bus needs a unique ID number assigned to it. This module has inputs for two channels
so it can use one or two ID numbers. Each of the two channels can be assigned an ID from 1 – 16, or turned off. The
factory default ID numbers are 3 and 4 for the two inputs respectively. The factory default labels are VOLTS for both.
Labels available for each input are:
VOLT - voltage input. This will display VOLT, V, or BIM VOLTAGE.
CURRENT - SEN-20-3 sensor input. This will display AMPS, C, or CURRENT.
Specs for each input are:
