The air pressure gauge will read wet or dry air pressure. The sender used for this gauge
is an oil pressure sending unit, so it is compatible with air, water, oil, and fuel. The air pressure
gauge will operate and read correctly between the pressure range of 0 - 145 psi using the SEN-
03-1 senders and 0-400 psi using the SEN-03-5 senders. The sender for tank pressure is
always the SEN-03-5 400 psi unit. The gauge has a user adjustable low and high warning level.
Operation:
The gauge needs only the PWR and GND terminals connected to light up. When the
DIM terminal has 12 volts, it will dim the display for night viewing. The R-R, L-R, R-F, L-F, and
TNK terminals are for the pressure senders. 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, the display will show “EE”. If
the sender is shorted to ground, the display will show “--”.
The display will flash and the warning output will be set whenever one of the displayed
pressures is out of the warning set limits.
Using external warning indicators:
The WRN terminal provides a ground trigger whenever any of the senders are outside
the set limits. Low current indicators (less than 1/4 A) can be activated directly by connecting
their power wire to 12 volts and connecting their ground wire to the WRN terminal.
For higher current buzzers or lights, a relay will need to be used to switch the indicator
on. Dakota Digital’s RLY-1 30A relay may be used for this. One of the coil wires should be
connected to 12 volts and the other coil wire connected to the WRN terminal. When the gauge
is outside its limits, the relay will turn on. The relay contact wires can be used to switch the
higher current.
WARNING! - CONNECTING A HIGH CURRENT INDICATOR DIRECTLY
TO THE WARNING OUTPUT WILL DAMAGE THE UNIT.

Setting the warning limit and sender type:
The low and high warning limits can be set to different values, also the front bag, rear
bag, and tank warnings can each be set differently. The push button switch on the front of the
display is used for setting the warning limit. The procedure for setting the warning limit is as
follows:
1. Hold the switch while you turn the key on. The display should light up and show “SETUP”
“MODE”.
2. Release the switch. The display should show “xxx SNDER” “TYPE” where is xxx is 150 for
the 150 psi senders and 400 for 400 psi senders.
3. Each time the switch is pressed the type will change.
4. When the desired sender type is shown press and hold switch.
5. The display will now show “xxx FRONT” “HIGH” where xxx is the current front bag high
pressure warning point. Release the switch.
6. Each time the switch is momentarily pressed the high warning point will increase.
7. When the desired high warning point is displayed press and hold the switch. The display will
change to “ xx FRONT” “LOW ” where xx is the current front bag low pressure warning point.
8. Release the switch. Use the switch to increment through the low warning values until the
desired value is shown.
9. Press and hold the switch. The display will change to “xxx REAR” “ HIGH” where xxx is the
current rear bag high pressure warning point.
10.Release the switch. Each time the switch is momentarily pressed the high warning point will
increase.
11.When the desired high warning point is displayed, press and hold the switch. The display
will change to “ xx REAR” “ LOW” where xx is the current rear bag low pressure warning
point.
12.Release the switch. Use the switch to increment through the low warning values until the
desired value is shown.
13.Press and hold the switch. The display will change to “xxx TANK” “HIGH” where xxx is the
current tank high pressure warning point.
14.Release the switch. Use the switch to increment through the high warning values until the
desired value is shown.
15.Press and hold the switch. The display will change to “xxx TANK” “LOW” where xx is the
current tank low pressure warning point.
16.Release the switch. Use the switch to increment through the high warning values until the
desired value is shown.
17.Press and hold the switch. The display will show “SETUP” “DONE”.
18.Release the switch. The gauge will restart with the new warning points.

Wiring:
PWR - connect to 12 volt accessory power.
GND - connect to a good ground point in the vehicle.
TNK - connect to tank pressure sender (optional).
DIM - connect to the tail light circuit.
WRN - can connect to the negative side of a relay, light, or buzzer.
The TNK terminal should be left open if the tank pressure is not being monitored.
Sender Wiring for 4 bag systems:
R-R - connect to the right rear pressure sender.
L-R - connect to the left rear pressure sender.
R-F - connect to the right front pressure sender.
L-F - connect to the left front pressure sender.
Sender Wiring for 3 bag systems:
R-R - DO NOT CONNECT.
L-R - connect to the rear pressure sender.

L-F - connect to the left front pressure sender.
Sender Wiring for 2 bag, front/rear systems:
R-R - DO NOT CONNECT
L-R - connect to the rear pressure sender.
R-F - DO NOT CONNECT
L-F - connect to the front pressure sender.
Sender Wiring for 2 bag, left/right systems:

Sender Wire Connection:
The SEN-03-1 has just a single terminal on top. Connect this to a wire that goes back to
the controller. The sender case is the ground connection. Screw the sender into a grounded
fitting to 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 controller. 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.
