*How to operate ADVANCE BF (Please refer to Deﬁ-Link ADVANCE Control unit operation manual for operations of ADVANCE BF.)

■Changing the opening/ending mode

For the opening mode and ending mode, you can select either A type (Simple) or B type (Special) by

sliding the DIP switch 2 attached to the advance control unit. Before changing the opening/ending

mode, make sure that the ignition is oﬀ.

Please check both A type and B type operations for their performances.

※The outer edge of the glass is not illuminated and the change of illumination color is not available on

ADVANCE BF gauge.

■Real mode

●

Adjusting brightness manually

You can adjust the brightness by pressing the right in the Real mode, Rec mode or Play

mode.

Five levels of brightness are provided for daytime and nighttime separately.

Day mode is changed to night mode as illumination switch turns on.

Also, an illumination cancellation function is available which enables to set the highest level of brightness

for daytime in night mode. This can be done by pressing the right several times.

Mounting BracketMounting Bracket

Install the gauge as shown in the following procedures and ﬁgures.

【Figure1】 Gauge assembly

1) Attach the buﬀer around the gauge.【Figure1】

※Do not touch on the front face of the gauge so as not to put ﬁngerprints.

2) Fit the mounting rubber inside of the mounting band.【Figure2】

3) Fix the mounting band to the mounting bracket temporarily with the spacer, bolts,

washers, and spring lock washers. Tighten bolts loosely by hands. Do not use a

hexagonal wrench (Allen key) at this stage.【Figure3】

4) Fit the indicator into the mounting band. And then ﬁt the gauge into the mounting

band. Locate the indicator roughly at this stage. The indicator can be positioned in

the range which it does not touch the mounting bracket and bolts.【Figure4】

【Figure5】

※Do not take hands oﬀ from the gauge so as the gauge does not fall down.

5) Identify the position of the mounting bracket with the gauge ﬁtted into the

mounting band. Mark the shape of the mounting bracket and the position of the

screw holes. The ﬁgure printed on the package can be used to position the screw

holes.

※To check that there is enough space for installation, identify the gauge position

with the gauge and indicator ﬁtted into the mounting band.

※When setting the gauge angle, take care not to scratch by hitting the gauge to

the mounting bracket.

6) Disassemble the mounting band from the mounting bracket, and disassemble the

gauge and indicator from the mounting band.

Attach double sided tapes on the bottom of the mounting bracket.【Figure1】

【Figure6】

8) Fix the mounting bracket on the gauge installing position by using the tapping

screws.

9) Fit the indicator and gauge into the mounting band again. Take notice that the

angle of the indicator cannot be changed while the bolts are fastened.

10) Attach the double sided tape on the back side of the gauge.

【Figure1】【Figure6】

11) Pass the indicator wire through the hole of the back case from the outside. Connect

the indicator wire to the connector on the gauge. 【Figure7】

12) Put the back case on the gauge. Position the hole for the meter wire to the gauge

connector for it. The indicator wire can be stored in the back space in the back

case.【Part names/Assembling example】

13) Connect the meter wire to the connector on the back side of the gauge. 【Part

names/Assembling example】

14) Fit the mounting band with the gauge in the mounting bracket by using a spacer,

bolts, washer, and spring lock washer.

※Depending on the installing space, it may diﬃcult to ﬁt the gauge. Do not pull

wires forcefully and take notice not to hit the vehicle by parts.

15) Fasten the bolts with a hexagonal wrench (Allen key) ﬁrmly.【Figure8】

Do not disassemble or modify this product. Such actions will not only void the warranty but also

damage or destroy the product.

Do not perform installation of this product immediately after the engine has been switched oﬀ. The

engine and exhaust system are extremely hot at this time and can cause burns if touched.

Ensure that the wiring of this product does not have an adverse impact on the other wiring of the vehicle. Before

tapping engine rev or speed signal from the ECU, please make sure that you have connected the power supply

wire of the advance control unit. And then conﬁrm that the DC Source LED of the advance control unit is lighted

with ignition on. If it is functioning normally, remove negative terminal connector from battery and go ahead with

wiring procedure. Incorrect wiring may destroy your ECU, ignition system and other engine management devices.

Please keep children and infants away from the installation area. Children may swallow small parts or be injured in

other ways.

Do not install this product in the area where safety equipment such as airbags are mounted. This may cause more

injuries in the event of an accident.

Danger

Ensure that the vehicle will remain stationary and turn oﬀ the engine before installing this product. Failure to do so

could result in a ﬁre, and could make the vehicle move during installation.

Remove the key from the ignition and disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal prior to installation of this

product. Failure to do so could result in a ﬁre caused by an electrical short circuit.

Take care not to install this product in a way that interferes with safety equipment such as seat belts and air bag

systems or vehicle operation equipment such as engine controls, steering wheel or brake systems. Interference

with normal operation of the vehicle can result in an accident or ﬁre.

Solder or use a solderless connector for wiring connections and make sure connections are insulated. In areas

where there could be tension or sudden impacts on the wiring, safeguard the wiring with corrugated tubing or

other shock absorbent material. Accidental shorts can cause ﬁres.

When wiring power supply wire, to avoid the risk of electrical shock or ﬁre, be sure to conﬁrm that there is no

disconnection or breakage of wire. Poor connection can result in short-circuit, electrical shock, ﬁre, or other hazards.

The ignition-switched +12V(IGN) line must be connected to the vehicle's ignition-switched wire with a fuse of 30A or

less. High-capacity fuse(more than 30A) will not blowout even with an abnormal current ﬂow and may cause ﬁre.

Discontinue use of this product if a blowout of the fuse has occurred. Continued use while the condition exists

could result in an accident, ﬁre, or damage to the vehicle.

Use the fuse of regulated capacity when the fuse of the power wire is replaced. Using a fuse that exceeds regulated

capacity may cause ﬁre.

Do not install the product at the wet places. It may result in a ﬁre caused by an electrical short circuit.

Discontinue use of this product if the product doesn't operate or operates improperly. Continued use while the

condition exists could result in an accident or ﬁre.

This product is designed for use on 12V vehicles. Do not install this product on vehicles with 24V systems.

Insulate any unused wires. If any wires or connectors loosen during installation, please make sure

they are correctly reattached.

Do not drop any of the components of this product. It may result in damage to the product.

Do not apply excessive force on switches/terminals. It may result in damage to the product.

Do not use wires other than the provided wires.

Do not attach wires on the body of the vehicle or engine parts as this may result in damage to the product.

Install wires away from ignition and also radio signal frequency interference as this could cause the gauges to

malfunction.

Please set it up so that the equipment such as the wireless machines and cellular phones that emits electric waves

should not touch the advance control unit. It may result in incorrect operation.

Do not place wires near the engine, exhaust pipe or turbine. It may result in damage or fusion of wires.

Make sure the waterproof processing is done when diverging wires in the engine compartment.

When installing the sensor, do not bend the wire near the sensor body.

Wear gloves to avoid burns when soldering and cuts when installing wires, sharp edges of parts.

Do not expose the advance control unit to moisture, dust or direct sunlight, or place product directly in front of heat vents.

Install sensors away from hot or wet places.

When using sunshade, put sunshade between products and windshield to avoid direct sun exposure .

Use a dried soft cloth for cleanup. Do not use cleaners except neutral detergent. It may damage the product.

Do not pull the wires out of connectors forcefully. The connectors may be broken and the

wires may be cut. When pulling out the wires, press the lock ﬁrmly and unclip the locks of

connectors.

Do not install gauges into the passenger side or center of the dashboard. It doesn't meet

vehicle safety standards.
