MeterMatch-VR
™
Overview
MeterMatch™ by TechnoVersions LLC is for making analog
gauges more accurate, or to allow you to mix and match
different gauges and senders. It can be used with many
gauges that have resistive senders - such as common fuel, oil-
pressure and temperature gauges.
The MeterMatch-VR, a special model, is designed to control
gauges in 60's-early 70's era Ford and Chrysler products which have gauges that are powered by a
5V instrument voltage regulator behind the instrument panel. MeterMatch-VR provides the circuitry to
improve the accuracy of the gauge, and also to power the gauge since the factory regulator isn't
compatible with modern electronics.

Summary of Contents for TechnoVersions MeterMatch-VR

  • Page 1 Note: If you are finding this small manual difficult to read, go to the TechnoVersions.com web site where you will find this manual as a PDF, which you can view or print in larger size.

  • Page 2: Theory Of Operation

    - it can correct for that. To calibrate MeterMatch-VR, you first set the sender to a known value. For example, fill your fuel tank. Set the MeterMatch to program mode, then with Up and Dn buttons, make your gauge read what you want for that sender value.

  • Page 3: Installation

    Installation MeterMatch-VR is contained in a plastic enclosure that is 1.85" by 2.40" x 0.93". To calibrate it, you will need to expose the circuit by removing the small Phillips-head screw in the bottom center of the enclosure, using a #1 or smaller Phillips screwdriver. Take care that the circuit board doesn't touch any metal which could short things out, and when finally installed, make sure it is in a dry spot that doesn't get overly hot.
  • Page 4 (power and signal) as originally wired. - Don't attempt to power more than one gauge from the orange wire from the MeterMatch-VR, it is designed to only provide enough current for one gauge, and could otherwise overheat.
  • Page 5 Calibration Once wired, it is necessary to calibrate your MeterMatch. The rotary switch Ѳ positions are used as follows: Normal Operation after calibration High calibration point Mid-high calibration point Mid-low calibration point Low calibration point In addition to the terminal strip and rotary switch, you will find three push-buttons: Moves the meter needle one direction Moves the meter needle the other direction Stores the calibration point presently selected...
  • Page 6 Finally, set the MeterMatch rotary switch Ѳ back to "0" (Normal Operation), put the cover back on, and enjoy using your calibrated gauge. You can go back and reset any point using the same process, it will simply over-write the data for that point stored previously.
