WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
Note: Automotive circuit connectors are the preferred method of connecting wires. However, you may
solder if you prefer.
Ground –Black This is the main ground for the display system. A wire should be run from this
board to the vehicle’s main engine block ground. Use 18 AWG or larger wire to ensure sufficient
grounding. Proper vehicle grounding is extremely important for any gauges (or electronics) to
operate correctly. The engine block should have heavy ground cables to the battery, frame, and
firewall. Failure to properly ground the engine block, senders, or digital dash can cause incorrect
or erratic operation.

Power –Red Connect the power terminal to accessory +12V power from the fuse panel or
vehicle wiring harness. This terminal should have power when the key is on or in accessory
position. Use 18 AWG wire to ensure the system receives a sufficient power feed.
Dimmer –Purple Connect to the parking lights to dim the LEDs 50% when the headlights are
on. However, do not connect to the headlight rheostat control wire; the dimming feature will not
work properly.
Turn Signals –Grey Two 18-gauge wires, one for each signal. Each wire is labeled on the
printed circuit board as ‘LEFT’or ‘RIGHT’. Connect each wire to its corresponding indicator
circuit.
High Beams –Brown Connect the brown wire to your high beam headlights.
Water –Blue Replace the existing water temperature sending unit with the unit included. The
gauge is incompatible with other sending units. Do not use Teflon tape or other sealer on the new
sending unit’s threads to avoid inaccurate readings. Connect the blue wire to the sending unit.
Fuel - Yellow The fuel gauge sending unit is not normally supplied because the display system
can use the existing fuel level sending unit in the tank in most cases. If your wiring harness
already has a single wire routed through the vehicle for the fuel sender then it may be used. If
using a wire from an external harness, make sure that the wire does not have power. Fuel senders
reference their ground from the sender mounting plate.
Connect the yellow wire to the factory sending unit. Be
sure the toggle settings on the switch match those
displayed on the diagram, as illustrated.
Both toggles in the up position for Ford/Chrysler
For GM - #1 toggle is up, #2 toggle is down
Both toggles in the down position for VDO
For Universal/Stewart Warner - #1 toggle is down,
# 2 toggle is up.

Oil –Orange Replace the existing oil pressure sending unit with the unit included. Do not use
Teflon tape or other sealer on the new sending unit’s threads to avoid inaccurate ground
connections as the sending units get their ground from the threads. The oil sender gets its
grounding from the threading into the engine block and it is crucial it is grounded properly.
Connect the orange wire to the sending unit.
Tachometer (memory capable) –Green
If your vehicle has a separate ignition coil, connect the green wire to the negative (-) side of the
coil –the wire that goes to the points or electronic ignition module.
If your vehicle has a GM HEI ignition, connect to the terminal marked ‘TACH’, or, on some
systems, a single white wire with a spade terminal.
If your vehicle has an after-market ignition –some systems will connect to the TACH output
terminal.
If your vehicle has a computer controlled ignition system, consult the service manual for the
wire color and location.
If your vehicle has a magneto system, connect the tach signal wire to the negative side of the coil.
Do not connect the tach terminal to the positive (+ or high voltage) side of the ignition coil.
Note: If doing an LS engine swap, pick up the tach signal wire from the ECM/ECU and then set the
tach switch to 4-cylinders.
To set the tach, use the Tach Selector (DIP Switches), which is located
below the tachometer display. The default tach setting is for an
8-cylinder engine, (both switches UP, as shown).
For a 4-cylinder engine, set the DIP switches as
Switch 1: DOWN and Switch 2: UP.
For a 6-cylinder engine, set the DIP switches as
Switch 1: UP and Switch 2: DOWN.
To recall the highest RPM achieved, simply press and release the button near the tach readout. To
reset the peak RPM value, press and hold the button until the RPM displayed value is zero.
Speedometer –White Disconnect the mechanical speedometer cable from the transmission
and thread the new electronic sensor onto the transmission. This unit comes with a 3-wire sensor.
If you are using this sensor, the white wire is the speed signal; connect this to the speed signal
wire on your gauge. The red and black wires in the cable are switched power (12VDC) and
ground, respectively. Twisting the ground and signal wires around each other will provide an
additional level of interference protection. The speed signal wire should not be routed alongside
the tachometer, ignition, or any other high-current or high-voltage wires. For vehicles which have
a vehicle speed signal from a transmission -- one wire goes to the speedometer, and the other to
the ground -- or ECM. Tap into the VSS wire (consult a vehicle service manual or wiring diagram
to determine the correct wire color) and connect it to the white speed sending wire on the digital
dash.
Note: If your vehicle is equipped with an electronic transmission, there will be an electronic vehicle
sender with either two or three wires.

DIGITAL PERFORMANCE SPEEDOMETER
Your Intellitronix dash panel is equipped with our Digital Performance Speedometer. This
electronic speedometer displays speed and includes an odometer, trip meter, high speed recall,
0 - 60 time, and quarter-mile elapsed time. It can be calibrated with the push-button to adjust the
speedometer for different tire/wheel sizes, and/or gear ratios. The single push-button is used by
a quick tap to toggle between odometer and trip meter. The microprocessor distinguishes
between a quick tap and a press-and-hold which will reset the trip meter in trip mode or display
performance data in odometer mode.
CALIBRATION
Note: If using the Intellitronix GPS Sending Unit, (S9020 –not included) the speedometer does not need
to be calibrated.
The speedometer leaves the factory with a pre-set industry standard setting of 8,000 pulses per
mile. Chances are that you may not need to recalibrate your speedometer, unless you have
changed the original tire size or the rear end gear ratio.
Note: Do not attempt to recalibrate your speedometer until after it is working properly and you have
determined that the speed is incorrect. The calibration procedure will NOT correct a faulty installation or
improper wiring. If you attempt to recalibrate your speedometer without making sure the speedometer is
receiving pulses from the sending unit, the speedometer will display ‘Err’ and default back to the factory
settings.
To calibrate:
1. Locate a measured mile where you can safely start and stop your vehicle. By running
the vehicle over this measured distance, the speedometer will learn the number of pulses
outputted by the speedometer sensor during a specific measured distance. It will then use
this acquired data to calibrate itself for accurate reading. There is a small recall push-
button in the center of the panel used to calibrate and read all of the data stored in the
speedometer. After installing your speedometer according to the wiring instructions, when
the ignition is on it should immediately display the default screen of 0 MPH, if the vehicle is
not moving.
NOTE: You will then need to drive your vehicle to the predetermined measured mile. During this
trip, the speedometer should read something other than 0 MPH. If it does not change, return and
locate the problem before continuing. Otherwise, proceed with the calibration.
2. Stop at the beginning of the measured mile with your vehicle running and in odometer
mode (NOT trip mode), press and hold the push-button until the odometer displays ‘HI-SP’.
On its own, the gauge will then cycle through the recorded performance in the following
order: ‘0 – 60’, ‘1/4’, ‘ODO’, and ‘CAL’.
3. While ’CAL’ is displayed, quickly tap the push-button once. This will put the speedometer
in Program Mode. If you did not tap while ‘CAL’ is displayed, the pulses per mile will be
displayed on the odometer and the display will go back to MPH mode. Otherwise, you will
now see ‘CAL’ displayed along with the number ‘0’. This indicates that the microprocessor
is now ready for calibration.

4. When you are ready, begin driving on the metered mile. You will notice that the reading
will start counting up. The odometer will begin to display the incoming pulse count. Drive
the vehicle through the measured mile (speed is not important, only the distance traveled).
5. At the end of the mile, stop and press the push-button again. The odometer will now
display the new number of speedometer pulses that were registered over the distance. The
odometer will continue to display the pulse reading for a few seconds. Once it reverts to
the default mode, you have successfully calibrated your speedometer.
Warning: If, while in ‘CAL’ mode, you do not move the vehicle and press the button again, the
microprocessor will NOT have received any data and the unit will display ‘Err’ and will revert
to the factory settings. At a minimum, drive some distance and return to the start if necessary.
If you miss stopping the display at ‘CAL’, simply repeat the steps.
Trip Distance
A single tap of the recall button will activate the trip meter in the odometer display. A decimal
point will appear which will indicate that you are in trip meter mode. Holding the recall button will
clear out the trip distance. To return to the default odometer display, tap the recall button again.
The decimal point will disappear, indicating that you are back in the default odometer display.
Setting the Odometer
While scrolling through ‘CAL’ mode you will see ‘ODO’ appear. This will allow you to enter the
vehicle’s actual mileage. Press the trip button again at this point and you will enter the odometer
set up mode. Press quickly to change the number of the digit on the right. Press and hold to
advance to the next digit. Do this for all 5 digits. For Example: To enter the mileage reading
23456 into the odometer, at the ‘ODO’ prompt, tap the small black button (quickly) two times,
until the number 2is displayed. Then press and hold the button until the numbers 20 are
displayed. Tap the button 3 times until 23 is displayed. Press and hold the button until 230 is
displayed, and continue in this manner until 23456 is displayed. The speedometer will advance to
the home screen, five seconds after the last number is entered.
Recording and Viewing Performance Data
Follow these steps to record and recall Performance Data (high speed, ¼mile ET, and 0-60 time):
1. Before each run, your car must be at a complete stop at the starting position. Press and
hold the push-button as it cycles through the performance data. At the end, the odometer
will reset and all performance data will be cleared. This will not affect your stored
calibration value or the odometer reading.
2. Press the push-button until ‘HI-SP’ is displayed. The gauge will automatically cycle
through the performance data.
3. Start the run, pass, session, etc., as mentioned above.
4. When finished, repeat Step 2 to view the data gathered from the run. While stopped, you
can view this data as often as you wish. However, once it finishes scrolling one time, the
memory is ready to record new data and will begin recording again once the vehicle
starts to move. The highest speed measured over multiple runs will be retained in
memory.
