Always disconnect battery ground before making any electrical connections. If in doubt, please contact your dealer or VDO Instruments at IMPORTANT: Mounting dimensions vary for different gauges. Please be certain to follow the instructions for your specific gauge as described below. Voltmeter Installation: 1. Select the location where you will mount the gauge, and mark a center point. 2. Cut a 2¹ ₁₆" (52 mm) diameter hole for all gauges except Pro Cockpit, which requires a 2⁵ ₈" (66 mm) hole. If the gauge is too snug, use a file to slightly enlarge the opening. (Diagram A) 3. Insert the instrument and secure it with either the VDO Spin-Lok clamp or mounting bracket. The Spin-Lok clamp can be reversed to accommodate various panel thicknesses. (Diagram B) DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Wiring the Voltmeter: 1. Run wires from the instrument location through the firewall to: a) a positive (+), switched power source (i.e: after the fuse box and the ignition switch, or any other switch.

Connect the appropriate positive (+), ground (negative [ ]), and signal wires to the gauge and gauge lamp socket as shown in Diagram D or E. 3. If you are using a VDO sender with a built-in warning contact terminal, run a wire (min. 16-gauge, stranded) from the sender terminal marked WK to one terminal on the warning light. (Diagram B) Run another wire from the other warning light terminal to a switched ignition source. NOTE: Do not use teflon tape on the sender threads which act as an electrical ground source for the unit. Water temperature senders work best if they are installed near the thermostat housing. Oil temperature senders can be used to replace the manufacturer s oil pan drain plug. The oil pressure sender is installed in the same location as the factory sender or warning light switch. Remember: These gauges measure ohm resistance which is created by the sender. The ohm range of the sender and gauge MUST MATCH or the gauge will not be accurate. VDO sells many gauges which work with other manufacturer s senders; but you must know the correct sender ohm range before you buy any of these gauges.
