FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Centre black circle on gauge is flashing intermittently.
If the black centre ring is flashing and the gauge sounds an alarm, the gauge may have been
programmed to trigger a relay, but a relay is not detected. Check the relay connection or reprogram as
required. If no relay output is required refer to setup mode 8 and select ‘nc’.
What is the ‘peak hold’ (PH) feature?
When the gauge push button is pressed, the needle pointer(s) and/ or digital display will show the
highest/ peak reading for the function being monitored. This feature will reset when the vehicles ignition
is turned off.
Do I need to purchase the optional sensor for my gauge to work?
No, the standard features of the gauge will still work. To purchase the optional sensors please visit www.
redarc.com.au
What is the P-clip used for?
Attaching the p-clip to the back of the gauge ensures that the connectors are strongly fixed to the gauge,
thereby minimising the risk that they may come loose during installation and/ or rough driving conditions.

Please contact REDARC’s free technical support on (08) 8322 4848
Is the gauge compatible with existing vehicle sensors or other sensors available in the market?
No, the gauge is designed to work only with the sensors sold by REDARC.
What is the best mounting solution for my gauge?
REDARC offers a range of mounting panels and a mounting cup for its gauge range. Please ensure that
fitment of your gauge does not impede your driving field of view or create a head impact hazard.
Should I enclose the wiring harnesses in conduit?
REDARC recommends enclosing the supplied wiring harnesses in a suitable conduit that will protect the
wiring against sharp edges and/ or extreme temperatures.
Where should I install the black push button?
In most cases, once the gauge is set up and programmed the push button can be hidden behind the
vehicles instrument dash panel. However, if you believe that you may need to regularly change any of the
modes or wish to use the peak hold feature you should locate the push button in an accessible area (e.g.
at the back of the mounting cup).
Can I fit my gauge to a 24V vehicle circuit?
The gauge requires 12V to operate. A 24V to 12V adaptor is available for purchase (GA-2412V). This
can be purchased for all gauges, however the G52-VA and G52-VVA will only allow you to monitor the
charging performance of 12V batteries.
My gauge is too bright when driving (i.e. at night), what should I do?
You will need to purchase an Enhanced Lighting Controller (GA-ELC). This module is to be used when
you do not have a dimming circuit you can connect your gauges to, are using REDARC Gauges for all of
your instrumentation so require dimming or the dimming circuit in your vehicle does not dim the REDARC
gauges to your liking. The ELC allows you to program the night time brightness and colour of your gauges,
including dimming if connected to a dash dimmer (i.e. once programmed your gauge(s) will change colour
when turning on your park lights and back to a day light colour when you turn them off). You only require
one ELC for a complete set of gauges. It can be used in conjunction with the 24 volt adaptor (GA-2412V)
for a 24 volt system (ELC module is 24V capable).
