MAN# 650447:A
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 BIM-19 provides all of the
sensor connections and attaches to the gauge with the supplied power/data cable.
The
senders must be Dakota Digital part SEN-03-9.
Sending units from other manufacturers will
cause incorrect readings. SEN-03-9
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.
When the tank pressure sender is connected, pressing the switch on the front of the
gauge will switch between displaying the bag pressures and the tank pressure.
The default setup for the BIM-19-2 will work correctly with the ODYR-19-7 kit. Additional
specifics about the BIM-19-2 can be found in its separate manual.

Using external warning indicators:
The WHITE wire provides a ground trigger whenever any of the senders are outside the
set limits. Low current indicators (less than 1/2 A) can be activated directly by connecting their
power wire to 12 volts and connecting their ground wire to the WHITE wire.
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 WHITE wire. When the gauge is
outside its limits, the relay will turn on. The relay contact wires can be used to switch the higher
current.
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 1-1/2
”. Gauge
depth including the mounting studs is 2-3
/8”.
The BIM-19 can be mounted to wood, metal, or plastic using screws with the two mounting
holes, double sided tape, or hook and loop fasteners.
