5. Istruzioni per l'installazione

This section details the steps for installing your KUS GPS Speedometer. Refer to the provided diagrams for visual guidance. The installation diagram is part of the included instruction manual (Image 3.1).

1. Preparare il foro di montaggio: Cut an 85mm (3-3/8") diameter hole in the panel. Ensure a clearance of 55mm (2-3/16") behind the panel for the gauge body.
2. Secure the Gauge: Remove the fastening ring (labeled 'I' in diagrams) from the gauge. Insert the gauge into the prepared hole. Reinstall the fastening ring from the rear and tighten it to secure the gauge firmly.
3. Connessioni dei cavi: Connect the multi-plug socket (labeled 'V' in diagrams) to the gauge. Refer to the wiring diagram for correct connections:
   • Filo rosso: Connect to positive power supply (+12V/24V).
   • Filo blu: Collegare a terra (-).
   • Yellow/Orange wire: Connect to a switch for backlight selection (Red or Yellow). If only one backlight color is desired, connect the corresponding wire.
4. Installazione dell'antenna GPS: Securely fasten the GPS antenna (labeled 'IV' in diagrams) in a location with a clear, unobstructed view of the sky to pick up satellite signals. Connect the antenna cable to the socket on the gauge. Do not cut the antenna cable.
5. Initial Power-On and Calibration: Dopo aver acceso l'alimentazione, lasciare che l'indicatore si accendaample satellite signals for approximately 1 minute. The pointer will indicate the speed over ground (SOG) when the vehicle is moving. If the vehicle is stationary, the accumulated mileage display will remain unchanged.
6. Spegnimento: When the vehicle is powered down, the gauge will retain the last recorded mileage.
7. Nota importante: All data provided by the GPS speedometer is for reference only and should not be solely relied upon for navigation.

6. Funzionamento

The KUS GPS Speedometer operates by receiving signals directly from satellites to display real-time speed and total accumulated mileage.

• Visualizzazione della velocità: The main needle indicates the current speed in kilometers per hour (km/h).
• Odometer Display: The LCD screen at the bottom of the gauge displays the total accumulated mileage in kilometers (km). This value is stored even when power is off.
• Selezione della retroilluminazione: The gauge features a selectable backlight (red or yellow). This can be controlled by connecting the appropriate wire (yellow or orange) to a switch, as detailed in the installation section.

7. Manutenzione

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your KUS GPS Speedometer, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Pulizia: Clean the gauge surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the display or bezel.
• Impermeabilizzazione: The gauge has an IP67 waterproof rating. While designed to withstand water exposure, ensure all connections are secure and the back of the gauge is properly sealed during installation to maintain this protection.
• Antenna GPS: Keep the GPS antenna free from obstructions and debris to ensure optimal signal reception.
• Collegamenti elettrici: Controllare periodicamente tutti i collegamenti elettrici per verificarne la tenuta e la corrosione.

8. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

If you encounter issues with your KUS GPS Speedometer, refer to the following troubleshooting guide:

• No Speed Reading / "No Signal" on LCD:
  • Ensure the GPS antenna is securely connected to the gauge.
  • Verify the GPS antenna is installed in a location with a clear, unobstructed view del cielo.
  • Allow sufficient time (up to 1 minute) after power-on for the gauge to acquire satellite signals.
  • Check power connections to the gauge.
• Lettura della velocità imprecisa:
  • Ensure the GPS antenna is correctly positioned and not obstructed.
  • Compare the reading with another reliable GPS device if possible. Minor discrepancies can occur due to environmental factors or signal quality.
• Backlight Not Working or Incorrect Color:
  • Check the wiring for the backlight (yellow and orange wires) to ensure they are correctly connected and receiving power.
  • Verify the switch controlling the backlight is functioning correctly.
• L'indicatore non si accende:
  • Check the main power (red wire) and ground (blue wire) connections.
  • Ensure the vehicle's power supply is active and providing the correct voltage (12V/24V).
