TRANSMISSION OIL TEMPERATURE GAUGE
Introduction:
The Odyssey gauge series from Dakota Digital, Inc. incorporates the
reliability and quality of our standard gauges, along with several unique features
and easy mounting. These features include:
• A warning feature that flashes the gauge readout when outside operating
limits.
• A connection for an external warning indicator that is activated when the
gauge flashes.
• User adjustable warning points.
• Microprocessor stabilized readings.
• Quick-Start feature to provide accurate readings quickly after being powered
up.
• Night dimming with lens label lighting.
• High Visibility VFD display for sunlight readability.
The transmission oil temperature gauge will read the temperature that the
transmission oil is currently at. The transmission oil temperature gauge will
operate and read correctly between the temperature range of 0 - 300° F(0 -
150°C). Because of the wide temperature span, the gauge may not be as
accurate below 75° F (24°C). By monitoring the transmission temperature, you
can determine if there is an overheating problem before any damage is done. A
transmission oil cooler, similiar to a small radiator, helps prevent the transmission
from overheating by circulating and cooling the oil. The gauge has a user
adjustable high warning level. This can be set to indicate when the transmission
is beginning to overheat.

    Operation: The gauge needs only the red and black wires connected to light up. The gray wire connects to the sender. The sender must be Dakota Digital part SEN-04-1 or SEN-04-2. Sending units from other manufacturer’s will cause incorrect readings. SEN-04-1 has 1/8” NPT threads and SEN-04-1 has 3/8” NPT threads.
  • Page 3 For higher current buzzers or lights, a relay will need to be used to switch the indicator on. Dakota Digital’s RLY-1 30A relay may be used for this. One of the coil wires should be connected to 12 volts and the other coil wire connected to the yellow warning wire.
  • Page 4 Mounting: The gauge requires a rectangular cut out that is about 2 9/16“ x 1 11/16“. It should be inserted into the opening from the front and the U-clamp will be installed from the back. Tighten the two nuts on the U-clamp so that the gauge is secure.
