• 2023-08-03

1. Preparation before installation:

Before installing the water temperature gauge and fuel gauge, you need to prepare some tools: wrench, screwdriver, pliers, wires, etc. At the same time, it is necessary to purchase a voltage regulator to ensure the normal operation of the instrument.

2. Installation steps:

Locate the installation location:

First of all, you need to choose the appropriate instrument installation position according to the different models and brands of the car. Generally speaking, the water temperature gauge is installed above the oil temperature gauge, and the fuel gauge is installed below the water temperature gauge for easy observation.

Install the instrumentation regulator:

Before connecting the meter, the voltage regulator needs to be connected to the car power supply. Generally, the power supply voltage of the car is 12V, and the working voltage of the instrument is generally 5V. The voltage regulator can stabilize the 12V voltage at 5V to ensure the normal operation of the instrument and protect the instrument from damage.

Connect the wires:

Connect the cables of the water temperature gauge and the fuel gauge to the voltage regulator respectively, and pay attention to the correct connection sequence and interface to prevent short circuit or instrument damage.

Install the meter:

Install the water temperature gauge and fuel gauge to the predetermined position and fix them with screws. Be careful not to use too much force, so as not to damage the meter.

Precautions for use: Can not be directly connected to the power supply:

When using the water temperature gauge and fuel gauge of the gauge regulator, care must be taken not to connect the gauge regulator directly to the power supply. Doing so will short-circuit the meter circuit, causing damage to the meter and affecting the normal operation of the entire vehicle circuit. Correct wiring:  When connecting the wires, be sure to wire them correctly according to the circuit diagram to ensure the normal operation of the instrument.

3. Waterproof and shockproof:

When installing the instrument, it should be noted that the water temperature gauge and fuel gauge should adopt waterproof and shockproof design to ensure that the readings of the water temperature gauge and fuel gauge will not be inaccurate during driving.

4. Periodic inspection:

In daily use, it is necessary to regularly check whether the reading of the instrument is accurate to ensure the safe driving of the vehicle
