General Information and

Safety Precautions

1. This gauge was designed for 12-Volt, negative

ground electrical systems.

2. It works with 1-wire, 2-wire, 3-wire, and 4-wire

oxygen sensors.

3. If your vehicle is not equipped with an oxygen

sensor, an oxygen sensor kit can be purchased

and installed. Install the sensor in a location where

the exhaust streams from all cylinders meet and

as close as possible to the cylinder head.

4. Read the entire instructions before proceeding.

5. Route all wiring away from linkages, engine

parts that become hot, or moving parts.

6. Never smoke while working on your vehicle

and always keep a fire extinguisher nearby. It

should be rated for gas/chemical/electrical fires.

7. Never lay tools on top of the battery or wear

jewelry during electrical work to avoid severe

shorts.

8. Do not touch the wire(s) coming from the

oxygen sensor to power or ground. Do not use

ohmmeter on these wires. Either of these actions

will damage the sensor.

Installing Gauge

This gauge can be mounted into a surface of your

choice or into a panel. Single, dual, and triple

mounting panels are available.

1. It is recommended that the battery ground cable

be disconnected before any electrical work is

performed.

2. Choose a location to mount the gauge where it

will be viewable from a normal driving position.

3. If you are using a mounting panel, mount it at

the chosen location with the screws provided.

4. If you are installing the gauge into a surface (for

example the dashboard) make a 2-1/16 hole for

the gauge. Be sure to check for wires behind dash.

Do not accidentally cut any wires or hoses. Be

sure there is clearance around the hole for the

gauge mounting bracket.

Figure 1 - Gauge Mounting

5. Plug the wire harness connector into the

receptacle on the back of the gauge.

6. Insert the wires and the gauge into the mounting

panel or hole.

7. Install the mounting bracket and tighten the

knurled nuts lightly.

8. Position the gauge for best visibility and tighten

the knurled nuts with moderate pressure.

Hooking Up Wires

1. Verify that the battery ground cable is

disconnected before any electrical work is

performed.

2. Connect the red wire to a fuse protected source

of +12 Volts turned on and off with the ignition key.

The fuse box is usually a good place to start.

3. Connect the white wire to a circuit which is

energized by the headlamp switch or to the tail

light circuit.

4. If desired, drill a 3/8" hole in the firewall, install

a rubber grommet (provided), and feed the black

and green wires through the grommet into the

engine compartment.

5. CONNECT THE BLACK WIRE TO A GOOD ENGINE

GROUND SOURCE. DO NOT CONNECT BLACK WIRE

TO GROUND POINTS UNDERNEATH THE DASH OR

ON THE BODY. FIND A LOCATION ON THE ENGINE

BLOCK. CLEAN RUST AND PAINT IF NEEDED

BEFORE MAKING THE CONNECTION. USE THE RING

TERMINAL (PROVIDED).

6. Connect the green wire to the signal wire between

the oxygen sensor connector and the car computer.

Do not connect to the wire between the oxygen sensor

and the connector, as this wire is often shielded.

Refer to diagrams below for selecting the correct

connection point. If the oxygen sensor has 2, 3, or 4

wires, consult wiring diagram for your vehicle or

contact vehicle manufacturer to identify the signal

wire.

Figure 2 - General Hookup

Figure 3 - 1, 2, 3 & 4-Wire Sensors

Oxygen Sensor

Figure 4 - Oxygen Sensor Operation

This sensor produces a voltage signal based on

the amount of oxygen it detects in the exhaust

stream. A low voltage (less than 0.4V) indicates a

lean exhaust (too much oxygen). A higher voltage

(0.6 - 1.0V) signals a rich exhaust (not enough

oxygen). The car computer uses the oxygen

sensor for fuel delivery attempting to maintain an

ideal air/fuel mixture for low emissions and good

fuel economy.

Gauge Operation

Note: Typical Air/Fuel Ratio Gauge operation is

described below. The operation may vary

from vehicle to vehicle.

The gauge measures the voltage produced by

the oxygen sensor and displays it in real time on a

radial, LED (Light Emitting Diode) bar graph. The

LEDs are color coded for ease of viewing and

interpreting the gauge reading.

When the headlights are turned on, the gauge

background illuminates and the LEDs are dimmed

for easy night viewing.

When the key is in the ON position and the engine

is cold and not running, all segments of the gauge

are off.

When the engine first starts, all segments of the

gauge are off since the sensor needs to warm up

to its operating temperature. The exact time

depends on whether the oxygen sensor is heated

(less than a minute) or non-heated (several

minutes) and the vehicle. On some vehicles the

gauge may read lean right away.

When the sensor reaches its operating

temperature, but the engine still has not reached

the operating temperature when the car computer

takes over (open loop), the gauge will most likely

read rich.

When the engine is controlled by the car computer

(closed loop) and the car is cruising, the gauge

segments will swing between rich and lean. On

vehicles with an added oxygen sensor that do not

have a computer the gauge reading will change

depending on the engine condition, but will not

constantly swing like on the computer-controlled

vehicles.

When the throttle is open during heavy load, the

readings will move toward rich.

During deceleration, the readings will be in the

lean zone. During a hard deceleration, the computer

might lean out the mixture to the point where no

LED segments will be lit.

Diagnosing Engine Problems

with Air/Fuel Ratio Gauge

A sluggish response of the Air/Fuel Ratio Gauge

may indicate a partially fouled oxygen sensor. If

the sensor degradation is confirmed, the sensor

should be replaced.

A lean operation under load is a sign of improperly

functioning fuel delivery system. This can lead to

engine damage.

Persistent rich operation (not under heavy load)

can lead to poor fuel economy, fouled spark plugs,

and poor performance.

Informations générales et

précautions de sécurité

1. Cette jauge est prévue pour des alimentations

en 12 volts avec négatif à la masse.

2. Elle fonctionne avec des détecteurs d'oxygène

à 1, 2, 3 et 4 fils.

3. Si votre véhicule n'est pas équipé d'un détecteur

d'oxygène, un ensemble peut être acheté et installé

pour cette fonction. Installez le détecteur à un

endroit où les gaz d'échappement de tous les

cylindres se rejoignent, et le plus près possible

de la culasse.

4. Lisez complètement ces instructions avant de

commencer l'installation.

5. Faites passer tout le câblage à l'écart des trans-

missions et des pièces moteur qui chauffent ou

qui bougent.

6. Ne fumez jamais en travaillant sur votre

véhicule, et gardez toujours un extincteur à

proximité. Il faut qu'il soit adapté aux feux de types

électrique/chimique/gazeux.

7. Ne posez jamais d'outils sur le dessus de la

batterie, et ne portez pas de bijoux pendant les

travaux électriques, afin d'éviter des courts-circuits

dangereux.

8. Ne faites pas toucher de fil(s) venant du

détecteur d'oxygène à la tension ou à la masse.

N'utilisez pas d'ohmètre sur ces fils. Ces deux

types d'action endommageraient le détecteur.

Installation de la jauge

Cette jauge peut être montée sur la surface de

votre choix ou sur un tableau. Des tableaux de

montage simple, double ou triple sont disponibles.

1. Il est recommandé que le câble de mise à la

masse de la batterie soit débranché avant

d'effectuer tout travail sur un circuit électrique.

2. Choisissez un emplacement pour monter la

jauge d'où elle sera lisible à partir d'une position

de conduite normale.

3. Si vous utilisez un tableau de montage, placez-

le à l'endroit choisi avec ses vis de fixation fournies.

4. Si vous installez la jauge sur une surface

(comme la planche de bord), percez-y un trou de

5,24 cm (2-1/16") pour passer la jauge. Vérifiez

bien l'éventuelle présence de fils derrière la sur-

face, ne blessez pas accidentellement des fils ou

conduites. Assurez-vous qu'il y aura assez

d'espacement autour du trou pour le support de

montage de la jauge.

Schéma 1 - Montage de la jauge

5. Branchez le connecteur du toron de fils dans le

connecteur à l'arrière de la jauge.

6. Insérez ces fils et l'arrière de la jauge dans le

tableau de montage ou dans le trou.

7. Installez le support de montage et serrez les

écrous moletés légèrement.

8. Positionnez la jauge pour optimiser la visibilité

et serrez les écrous moletés avec une force

modérée.

Raccordement des fils

1. Vérifiez que le câble de mise à la masse de la

batterie est bien débranché avant d'effectuer tous

travaux électriques.

2. Branchez le fil rouge sur une source de +12 volts

protégée par fusible qui est alimentée et coupée

par la clé de contact. Le boîtier à fusibles est

généralement un bon point de raccordement.

3. Branchez le fil blanc sur un circuit électrique

qui est alimenté par le commutateur de phares

ou de feux arrière.

4. Si vous le souhaitez, percez un trou de 10 mm

(3/8") dans la paroi pare-feu, installez un illet en

caoutchouc (fourni), et enfilez les fils noir et vert au

travers de l'illet vers le compartiment du moteur.

5. BRANCHEZ LE FIL NOIR SUR UNE BONNE

MASSE DU MOTEUR. NE BRANCHEZ PAS CE FIL

NOIR SUR DES POINTS DE MASSE SITUÉS SOUS

LE TABLEAU DE BORD OU SUR LE CHÂSSIS.

TROUVEZ UN ENDROIT SUR LE BLOC MOTEUR.

NETTOYEZ LA ROUILLE OU LA PEINTURE SI

NÉCESSAIRE AVANT DE RÉALISER LA

CONNEXION; UTILISEZ LA COSSE À ANNEAU

(FOURNIE).

6. Branchez le fil vert sur le fil de signal entre le

connecteur du détecteur d'oxygène et l'ordinateur

de bord. Ne branchez pas ce fil entre le détecteur

d'oxygène et le connecteur, car ce fil est souvent

blindé. Reportez-vous aux schémas ci-dessous

pour sélectionner le point de raccordement cor-

rect. Si le détecteur d'oxygène a 2, 3 ou 4 fils,

consultez le diagramme de câblage du véhicule

ou contactez son constructeur pour identifier le fil

transportant le signal.
