Panel Mounting Instructions; Wiring Instructions - Intellitronix DP/BG10003 Installation Manual

PANEL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

Use the ABS plastic sheet as a mounting base for all of the gauges. You may
wish to cover the sheet with masking tape in the areas where the gauges will
be installed in order to mark the locations of the mounting holes. Once you
have determined the location of each gauge, drill holes in the ABS plastic, and
use the spacers to mount each circuit board to the ABS plastic sheet. Be sure to
insert one spacer between the ABS sheet and each circuit board, and another
spacer between the circuit board and the head of the screw.

WIRING INSTRUCTIONS

(If you have the BG10003 you will not have the extra black strip wires listed)
Use 18 AWG wire to ensure the system receives a sufficient power feed.
Note: Automotive circuit connectors are the preferred method of connecting wires. However, you
may solder if you prefer.
Note: LS Engines or any other Computer based engine systems most use the provides sensors
and install new wires to new sensors
Note: If doing a LS engine swap, pick up the tach signal wire from the ECM/ECU and then set
the tach switch to 4-cylinders. You may also need to order the Intellitronix LS Engine Swap
Adapter Kit for Series 1, 2 and 3 engines. The part number is 8014LS. If you are getting the tach
signal from the ECU, the resistor in the adapter kit will help pull a stronger signal for the
tachometer. If your engine is a LS the Tachometer will need to be put into 4 cylinder mode by
removing Resistors if the Tachometer does not have a push button for programing, please call
Tech Support at Intellitronix, as you may need to send the gauge back to us to be reconfigured.
There is no charge for this additional service.
Ground – Black--This is the main ground for the display system. A wire should be run from
this board to the vehicle engine block for the best ground. Use 18 AWG or larger wire to
ensure sufficient grounding. Proper vehicle grounding is extremely important for any gauges (or
electronics) to operate correctly. The engine block should have heavy ground cables connected
to the battery, frame, and firewall. Failure to properly ground the engine block, senders, or
digital dash can cause incorrect or erratic operation.
Battery - Red--Connect the +12 Volt terminal to constant +12V power from the battery power
source. Using a 5-amp fuse or an inline 5-amp fuse holder Use 18 AWG wire to Battery
Connect the +12 Volt terminal to constant +12V power from fuse box. Use 18 AWG wire to ensure
the system receives a sufficient power feed.
ater – Blue – This is Two wire for water temp sender. This gauge is incompatible with other
W
sending units, so you must replace the existing water temperature sending unit with the included
sender and wire pigtail. These wires will be both be wired to dash panel.
ater –Black/ Blue -This is ground for water temp sender and must be wired to corresponding
W
wire on dash.
