DIM ADJ - SIG
• The DIM ADJ - SIG terminal is an optionally used input that allows you to have control over the
dimming brightness. By default, the system will dim the displays when the DIM terminal has
power (+12V) to a level that is adjustable in the SYSTEM-DISPLAY menu. Using the DIM ADJ
terminal allows you to have a dash mounted control to vary the brightness while the headlights
are on. This requires Dakota Digital's DIM-1 kit; a stock headlight rheostat will not work.
• The DIM-1 has two wires, one connects to the SIG terminal and the other connects to GND.
The dash mounted dimmer will only vary the display brightness when the DIM terminal has
power, +12V.
DIM ADJ - GND
• This terminal provides a ground reference for the optionally installed DIM-1 for dash mounted
dimming control. One wire from the DIM-1 will connect to the DIM ADJ - SIG terminal, the
other connects to the DIM ADJ - GND terminal.
*This terminal should not be used for grounding other sensors or devices or damage to
the Control Box will occur. If not using a Dakota Digital DIM-1, this terminal should be
left open. Do not ground this terminal.
EX- (-)
• This is an extra indicator input that is activated by grounding. When activated, a message is
displayed in the Message Area on the GRAFIX Instrument Cluster. The label can appear
temporarily when the state changes or remain displayed while active. The label and operation
can be changed in the MAIN-SYSTEM-DISPLAY-EXTRA LABEL setup menu. This input can
also be set up to connect a grounded dome light switch to activate the system entry screen
when the door is opened.
EX+ (+)
• This is an extra indicator input that is activated by +12V. When activated, a message is
displayed in the Message Area on the GRAFIX Instrument Cluster. The label can appear
temporarily when the state changes or remain displayed while active. The label and operation
can be changed in the MAIN-SYSTEM-DISPLAY-EXTRA LABEL setup menu. This input can
also be set up to connect to a powered dome light switch to activate the system entry screen
when the door is opened. This input can also be connected and configured as a camera input
trigger to switch the GRAFIX display to the camera video input.
WAIT/EX (+)
• The WAIT terminal can be used as a "wait to start" or glow plug indicator. The WAIT input is
activated by a 12 volt signal from the glow plugs. If the WAIT label has not been changed from
factory default, a yellow wait 'symbol' indicator will be shown on GRAFIX Instrument Cluster.
The Message Area will also indicate the WAIT terminal has been activated with a "WAIT TO
START" message. This WAIT input can also be set with a custom label for other uses or used
for Door Open, as configured in the MAIN-SYSTEM-DISPLAY-EXTRA LABEL setup menu.
This input can also be connected and configured as a camera input trigger to switch the
GRAFIX display to the camera video input.
GEAR (1 wire)
• The GEAR terminal is used for the gear shift indicator. The indicator is built into every system,
but will not light up unless a Dakota Digital GSS- gear shift sending unit is connected, telling
the system what gear the transmission is in. The gear shift sending unit is not included with
the system and must be purchased separately if desired. A BIM-01-x may also be able to
provide gear indication if the vehicle has a compatible ECM and transmission.
• The GEAR terminal will connect to the FIRST terminal on a GSS-1000 or to the 1-WIRE
terminal on a GSS-2000 and higher. Follow the instructions in the GSS manual for use with a
single wire Instrument Cluster. When the gear shift sending unit is connected the gear
indicator will be shown on the GRAPHIX Instrument Cluster.
