Installation
The design of the IQ3 Drag Dash kit greatly simplifies the installation process, as there is no
external data logger or related components necessary. However, there are basic guidelines that
must be followed in order to ensure correct operation of the product.
General Mounting Requirements
The IQ3 Drag Dash is designed to be utilized in a race vehicle environment and is designed as
such. However, there are external conditions that can influence the operation and longevity of
the product and associated wiring.
Heat
Avoid excessive heat, such as generated from exhaust systems, transmissions, etc.
Electrical Interference
Avoid electrical interference. Vehicles generate electrical interference from a variety of
locations such as ignitions, alternators, ECU, spark plugs, coils and radio/GPS/telemetry
antennas. This interference can affect the signals generated by any or all of the sensors that
relay information back to the dash.
Moisture
Avoid excessive moisture. The IQ3 Drag Dash is designed to be water resistant but not
waterproof. This means when installed in open cockpit type of vehicles (such as, dragsters,
roadsters, etc.) it is safe for use in light rain but not designed to be subject to immersion of
water. Excessive water buildup can enter dash and damage the unit.
Cleaning
Clean glass lens initially with a lint-free, non-abrasive (microfiber type) cloth. Do not apply too
much pressure to the screen. If using a cleaning solution,
DO NOT
use an all-purpose cleaner
with acetone, ammonia-based or alcohol, since they can take off the dash’s protective coating.
100% distilled water and/or 50%/50% distilled water and white vinegar is best. Heavy dust and
dirt can be blown away by using small cans of compressed air made for cleaning camera and
computer equipment.
Mounting Orientation of IQ3 Drag Dash
It is important to insure the IQ3 Drag Dash cannot become dislodged during use. Three #10
studs are provided in order to provide secure mounting. If desired, the studs can be unscrewed
from the threaded inserts located in the dash housing.
