OIL PRESSURE SETUP
Dakota Digital only offers one pressure sensor for this system, SEN-03-8, 0-100 psi solid
state sensor with 1/8” NPT threads. The Oil Pressure setup allows you to set up a low pressure
warning point that will cause the message display to flash the oil pressure reading whenever the
value is lower than the warning set point. There is also a test mode that will display the voltage
from the sensor for trouble shooting assistance.
Press and hold SW1 while turning the key on. Release the switch. Press and release
SW1 to enter the “Setup oIL” menu. Press and hold the switch until “oil warn” is displayed to
enter the oil pressure setup menus, then release SW1.
Now you can press and release the SW1 to scroll through the oil sub-menus, “WARN”
“test” “DONE”. When you get to the desired sub-menu, press and hold the switch to select it.
Oil pressure warning setup (WARN)
This menu will allow you to select the low pressure warning point. When the display value
is lower than this point, the oil pressure will display and flash in the LCD1 message center. The
value is adjustable from 5 – 36 psi.
When “Oil WARN” is displayed, press and hold SW1 until the message screen changes
Release SW1, and the current warning point will be displayed as “oil warn low xx”
where “xx” is the current warning point.
Press and release SW1 to change the value from “LOw 05” – “low 36”
When the desired value is displayed press and hold SW1 until “DONE” is displayed.
Release the switch to go on to the next menu item.
Oil pressure sensor test (test)
This menu will allow you to check the voltage the control box is reading from the pressure
sensor. This can be used for a diagnostic tool if you are having trouble or feel that the reading is
incorrect. For the Dakota Digital SEN-03-8, 0-100 psi sensor, the voltage increases with
pressure. At 0 psi, the voltage should be close to 0.5V and at 100 psi the voltage should be close
to 4.5V.
When “oil test” is displayed press and hold SW1 until the message screen changes
Release SW1 and the current voltage from the oil pressure sensor will be displayed as
“test oil x.x volts” where x.x is the voltage seen at the control box.
Press and release SW1 to scroll to other sensor inputs if you wish “Fuel” “temp” “oil”
Once complete, hold SW1 until “DONE” is displayed.
Release the switch to go onto the next sub-menu item.
Exit oil pressure setup (done)
This will allow you to exit the oil pressure setup and go on to the next setup menu.
When “oil done” is displayed, press and hold SW1 until you get “DONE”.
Release the switch to go on to the next menu.
