LCD GAUGE / SWITCH WIRING

● RED – POWER, Connect to 12V power source when ignition is turned on (ie. ACC), minimum of 15 AMP recommended.

● BLACK – GROUND, Connect to GOOD chassis ground

  • Harness for tank pressure sending unit plugs in the ‘TANK’ port on the back of the LCD gauge
  • Harness for FRONT pressure sending unit can plug into either ‘FL’ or ‘FR’ ports
  • Harness for REAR pressure sending unit can plug into either ‘RR’ or ‘RL’

      NOTES!

      User will need to set un-used ‘F_’ and ‘R_’ low pressure warning on above menu settings to 0 psi to eliminate warning buzz for the Element/EVO kit.

  • When powering up without sensors connected, gauge will beep for 5 seconds
  • No sensor or faulty sensor will display as “------“ on the screen (2 will read this way with the Element/EVO kit).
  • Gauge will flash if limits are not set properly or system has improper air pressure

REMOTE CONTROL BOX WIRING

● RED – POWER, Connect to CONSTANT 12V power source (the compressor power supply cable is a good source). This will allow for the remote system to actuate the valves even when the ignition is turned off

● BLACK – GROUND, Connect to GOOD chassis ground

      NOTE!   The stiff black wire curled on the small black remote box is the antenna for the remote. DO NOT GROUND/CUT/MODIFY, simply straighten out for the best remote to box signal.

      REMOTE BUTTON FUNCTIONS:

  1. FRONT UP
  2. REAR UP
  3. FRONT DOWN
  4. REAR DOWN

In the event the remote is not working please check to see if the red LED indicator is illuminated when a button is pressed. If not, the battery needs replaced. If it does illuminate and nothing happens, please open the small remote box and press the tiny round button to establish remote to box communications.

 

ALL VERA SYSTEMS ARE HAND ASSEMBLED AND FULLY TESTED IN THE USA PRIOR TO SHIPPING.   If you have issues with parts/systems not working, check your wiring!

 

TIPS:

We recommend using a pipe tape or thread sealant on all NPT fittings

A tool designed for hose cutting will ensure minimal leaks at PTC junctions, DO NOT USE DYKES OR
