Caution
Main Features
(for customer)
l
This product is a multi-purpose monitor for connection to Defi-Link Control Unit II or Defi-Link Control Unit. It uses an
organic light emitting diode made by Nippon Seiki.
l
The monitor’s display uses optimal technology for instant readability without afterimages or flicker even when seen from
the passenger’s seat or in daylight.
l
Real-time digital information includes speed, oil temperature, water temperature, oil pressure, fuel pressure and exhaust
temperature.
l
Vehicle performance data and peak values are placed in memory for 3 minutes, allowing examination of data after running
the vehicle.
* Defi-Link Control Unit II has a 3 minute memory. Defi-Link Control Unit has a 40 second memory.
l
When the RPM signal wire is connected to Defi-Link Control Unit II or Defi-Link Control Unit, 2 warning levels can be set in
addition to the warning setting made by Control Unit II or Control Unit, enabling the setting of a total of 3 warning levels.
(Tachometer Triple Warning Mode)
l
When the water temperature sensor is connected, the warm-up condition can be monitored.
l
A graphic animation plays after the ignition is turned on or off. (Opening Mode/Ending Mode)
l
An easily recognizable graphic on each setting screen helps guide easy setting of warnings for Defi-Link Meters and Step
Graph. (Setting Assistance function)
l
The Warning LED lights when the set warning value is exceeded for oil temperature, water temperature, exhaust
temperature and engine RPM. The Warning LED lights when measured value drops below the set warning value for oil
pressure and fuel pressure.
l
Trouble locations are shown by graphics so that connection problems can be quickly corrected. (Self-Diagnosis function)
l
The structure of the mounting base allows height and angle adjustment so that it can match the shape of the instrument
panel.
l
The Defi-Link Indicator (sold separately) can be connected to the display.
The following parts are included with this product. Confirm that all parts are present before installing the product. In addition,

Installing the Mounting Bracket
1. Cut the supplied double-sided tape. [Figure 1]
2. Insert the protrusions of the mounting bracket into the slots of the meter holder, then secure with the supplied bolt and nut.
[Figure 2]
3. Attach the supplied double-sided tape to the underside of the mounting bracket. Align the mounting bracket with the
location for unit installation, then bend the mounting bracket to the shape of the location while pressing down so the tape
will adhere. To prevent the unit from falling off, secure the mounting bracket with commercially available self-tapping screws.
[Figure 1]
l
Adjusting the height of the installation stay.
Turn the set screw to adjust position on the installation stay so the display is easy to see. (Position can shift up or down by
9.5mm.)
l
Before attaching the mounting bracket to the dashboard, thoroughly clean the mounting surface with a commercial
dashboard cleaner to remove dust, dirt and oils.
