FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I cannot get the relay output feature to work.
The G52-VA and G52-VVA are not equipped with a relay output feature. All other gauges within the range
include this feature.
Why is the centre ring fl ashing?
The centre ring will fl ash if setup mode number 4 is incorrectly set. For the G52-VVA, setup mode number
4 should be set to ‘none’ (no pointer showing).
I cannot get the ‘peak hold’ feature to work.
The G52-VA and G52-VVA is not equipped with the peak hold feature. All other gauges within the range
include this feature.
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 fi xed to the gauge,
thereby minimising the risk that they may come loose during installation and/ or rough driving conditions.

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
fi tment of your gauge does not impede your driving fi eld 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 you should locate the push button in an accessible area (e.g. at the back of the mounting cup).
Can I fi t 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?
If the illumination circuit in your vehicle varies the negative voltage for dimming, the brown wire can
be connected to a dash light and will dim the gauge accordingly. If the dimming circuit in your vehicle
does not dim the REDARC gauges to your liking, a REDARC Enhanced Lighting controller (GA-ELC) will be
required.
Alternatively, if the illumination circuit in your vehicle varies the positive voltage for dimming (or if your
vehicle has no dimming circuit at all), you will require a GA-ELC to get the gauge to dim with your night-
time driving lights.
Besides dimming the gauge(s), a REDARC GA-ELC also allows you to program a night time colour for your
gauges. Only one GA-ELC is needed for a complete set of gauges. It may also be used in conjunction with
the 24 volt adaptor (GA-2412V) for a 24 volt system (the GA-ELC module is 24V capable).
