Wait (+); Gear (1 Wire); 4X4 (-); Right (+) - Dakota Digital 3 Series Installation And Operation Manual

WAIT (+)

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. Whenever the WAIT input is powered
with +12V, the system will display "WAIT" on the tach message display. This message can be
cleared by pressing and holding SW2, or once the WAIT terminal loses the +12V signal.

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-1000/2000/5000 gear shift sending unit
is connected or a Dakota Digital BIM-01-1 with a compatible electronic transmission is used,
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.
The GEAR terminal will connect to the FIRST terminal on a GSS-1000 or to the 1-WIRE
terminal on a GSS-2000 or GSS-5000. Follow the instructions in the GSS manual for use with a
single wire display system. When the gear shift sending unit is connected, the gear name will
be shown on the tach message display.
NOTE: The system will automatically change to the gear display for a few seconds
whenever the gear position changes, even if viewing a different message display.

4x4 (-)

The 4x4 terminal can be used on four wheel drive vehicles. The 4x4 input is activated by
a ground signal from a switch on the transfer case. Connect a wire from this terminal to the
switch on the transfer case. Whenever the 4x4 input is grounded the system will display "4W
DRV" on the message display. When signal turns off, the system will briefly display "2W DRV" on
the message display.

RIGHT (+)

The RIGHT terminal is activated by a 12 volt signal from the turn signal flasher. When
this terminal has 12 volts, an arrow will light up to the right of the speedometer display. An
existing wire from the vehicle for the right turn indicator can be used or a new wire can be
connected from the turn signal flasher or power wire feeding the right turn signal bulb.
LEFT (+)
The LEFT terminal is activated by a 12 volt signal from the turn signal flasher. When this
terminal has 12 volts, an arrow will light up to the left of the speedometer display. An existing
wire from the vehicle for the left turn indicator can be used or a new wire can be connected from
the turn signal flasher or power wire feeding the left turn signal bulb.
HIGH (+)
The HIGH terminal is activated by a 12 volt signal from the headlight high beam wire.
When the terminal has 12 volts, an indicator will light up to the lower right of the speedometer
display. An existing wire from the vehicle for the high beam indicator can be used or a new wire
can be connected from the high beam side of the hi/low beam switch.
BRAKE (-)
The BRAKE terminal can be used as a brake system warning indicator. The BRAKE
input is activated by a ground signal from the brake pressure switch on the master cylinder or
from the parking brake set switch. Connect a wire from this terminal to the pressure switch on
the master cylinder or consult a vehicle service manual to determine color and location of an
existing wire. Whenever the BRAKE input is grounded, the system will display "BRAKE" on the
message display. This message can be cleared by pressing and holding SW2.
