ODYR-24-1 and SLX-24-1
Air Bag Display and Control System
Introduction
This control system connects to a display module and pressure senders to allow monitoring and
control of all four corners and optional monitoring of the tank pressure. Each bag can be
manually raised or lowered as well as control of the front two together, rear two together, or all
four together. The bag senders can be either 150 psi units or 400 psi units for high pressure
systems. The tank sender is always the 400 psi unit.
This control system can also be connected to a remote transmitter system to allow individual
remote control of the air bag system. The functions include individual corner up/down, all
up/down, front up/down, and rear up/down.
IMPORTANT: Make sure to always disconnect the negative cable from the battery if you are
going to be working on or under the vehicle. Failure to do so can result in serious injury if the
system is accidentally activated.

OPERATION AS DISPLAY AND MANUAL HEIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM
Operation:
The gauge needs only the RED and BLACK wires connected to light up. When the BLUE
wire has 12 volts, it will dim the display for night viewing. The senders must be Dakota Digital
part SEN-03-1 or SEN-03-5. Sending units from other manufacturers will cause incorrect
readings. SEN-03 has 1/8” NPT threads. If other thread sizes are needed, an adapter fitting
should be used to change the thread size. If a sender is giving an incorrect reading or is
disconnected, the display will show “EE”. If the sender is shorted to ground, the display will
show “--”.
The display will flash whenever one of the displayed pressures is out of the warning set
limits. When the system is first powered up it will be in the warning display mode. Four, three,
or two bag readings will be displayed depending on which senders are connected. If one of the
bag pressures is outside of the warning limits then that reading will flash and the warning output
will be activated. Moving the joystick up, down, left, or right will not do anything. Pressing the
joystick in and holding it for a couple seconds will switch to the tank display if the tank sender is
connected. Pressing and releasing the joystick will switch to the manual control display.
When in manual display if any of the pressures are outside their warning limits the
reading will not flash, but the warning output will be active. If the joystick is pressed and held to
display the tank pressure the system will always go back to the warning display mode when the
joystick is pressed again. The bags cannot be raised or lowered while the tank pressure is
displayed. If no switches are pressed for 8 seconds then the system will automatically switch to
the warning display mode.
The first manual control display has only one bag reading highlighted at a time. The bag
matching the reading highlighted can be raised by moving the joystick up or lowered by moving
the joystick down. Moving the joystick to the right or left will change which bag is highlighted.
Pressing and releasing the joystick will switch to the next manual control display.
The second manual control display has both front or both rear bag readings highlighted at
the same time. This screen will not be seen in two-bag setups. Moving the joystick up will raise
both bags and moving the joystick down will lower both bags. Moving the joystick to the right or
left will change which bags are highlighted. Pressing and releasing the joystick will switch to the
next manual control display.
The final manual control display has all of the bag readings highlighted. Moving the
joystick up or down will raise or lower all bags together. Moving the joystick left or right will have
no affect. Pressing and releasing the joystick will switch back to the warning display mode.

Using the auto raise feature:
This unit can optionally be set to adjust the bag pressures to a preset level every time the
key is turned on. This feature can also be turned off. The auto raise will quit if the joystick is
moved in any direction, the tank pressure drops to the same level as one of the bags, or 20
seconds has expired. If the unit times out or quits due to low pressure, it will begin scrolling
between “TANK LOW”, “LEFT EXIT”, and “RIGHT RETRY” while showing your current tank
pressure to the left of the screen. While this screen is showing, move the toggle to right and the
system will try to adjust to the preset ride height again, move the toggle to the left to revert back
to manual operation mode. The procedure to change the settings are as follows:

the controller. The sender case is the ground connection. Screw the sender into a grounded
fitting or attach a ground wire to the case.
The SEN-03-5 has two terminals on top. Connect one to a wire that goes back to the
sender input on the controller. Connect the other to a wire that goes back to the ground
connection for the gauge. The polarity of the two wires on the sender does not matter.
Mounting:
The gauge requires a round hole 2-1/16” in diameter. It should be inserted into the
opening from the front and the U-clamp will be installed from the back. Tighten the two nuts on
the U-clamp so that the gauge is secure. Gauge depth to the back of the case is 1”. Gauge
depth including the mounting studs is 1-7/8”.
The controller can be mounted to wood, metal, or plastic using screws with the four
mounting holes, double sided tape, or hook and loop fasteners.

OPERATION AS REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM
The remote system is active when the large red power wire has power and the accessory power
wire does not. This prevents accidental operation using the remote system while the vehicle is
being driven. When the remote system is ready and waiting to operate the red light on the
controller will be flashing slowly.
There are two modes of operation for the transmitter.
RR up/down
All down
RF up/down
LR up/down
All up/auto raise
LF up/down
OPERATION FOR MODE 1
The key chain transmitter has six buttons. They are labeled I, II, III, IV, V, and VI.
Button I controls the left front bag. The first time it is pressed it will release air from the
bag until the button is released. The next time it is pressed it add air into the bag until it is
released. Button II controls the right front bag, button V controls the left rear bag, and button VI
controls the right rear bag. They work the same as button I, reversing the bag direction each
time it is pressed.
Button IV will lower all of the bags together. Button III will lower all of the bags together if
the auto raise on power up is disabled. If the auto raise on power up is enabled then button III
will begin the auto raise routine after a 3 second delay.
