Jeff (or Alan, Dan, Tom, ...),

 

I bought the Autometer Elite gauges with DA outputs, installed them last month (really like them), and finally getting around to connecting them to my TraqMate HD.  Thus far, I haven't located the instructions for connecting the wires or configuring the inputs.  Can you point me in the right direction?

 

TIA.

The elite gauge DA outputs are 0-5V.

 

Some of the gauges will have a calibration sticker on the gauge body. See the PDF below for how to use that to correct the output.


The temperature gauges log to the DA as if they were the highest-temp gauge, so if you have a 260deg temp gauge, it still uses 340F as the max output.

 

http://www.autometer...0-1408-00rA.pdf has the temp gauge setup.

http://www.autometer...0-1409-00rA.pdf has pressure gauge setup.

The pressure gauges are linear 0-5V across the gauge's range, so there's no chart. I confirmed in my datalogger config that I'm using a straight 0-5V for oil pressure.

 

Hope that helps.

Wasn't sure if these links would help.
