How do you wire Faria gauges?
Connect a wire to the gauge stud marked “+” (positive) and secure with nut and lock washer. Connect opposite end to the positive (+) side of the boat’s battery. 7. Connect the blade terminal adjacent to the twist-out light assembly to the positive “+” side of the instrument lighting circuit.
Where are Faria gauges made?
Uncasville, CT
Faria Beede Instruments, Inc. has been manufacturing “World Class” Instrumentation in Uncasville, CT for more than 60 years (Established in 1956 as the Thomas G.
How do you adjust a Faria Depth Sounder?
Press and hold the “Up” or ‘Down” arrow keypads to adjust the reading to the desired depth. When the shallow depth setting is read by the depth sounder, the “SH” will flash on the LCD and the audible alarm will sound rapidly.
How does a Faria speedometer work?
Pitot tube type speedometers operate by pressure from the water being forced into the pitot tube. This pressure is then transmitted through flexible tubing to the bourdon tube movement inside the speedometer head where it is converted into a speed reading by the movement mechanism.
What is cog on speedometer?
Course Over Ground (COG) and actual heading (compass heading over ground) are displayed on the optional digital LCD.
Can I mount my transducer inside the hull?
The most important thing to keep in mind is that transducers can only be glued inside hulls that are SOLID fiberglass or up to 1/8th” aluminum. However, since boat hulls absorb acoustic energy, transmitting through the hull reduces the transducers performance.
What is difference between SOG and cog?
COG, Course Over Ground, indicates the direction of the boat’s heading relative to the land. Over ground means “in relation to the earth”, see also the term SOG. Therefore, COG means the true direction free from the effects of sea currents.
What color is the fuel sender wire?
Fuel sender wires are typically pink on the positive side and black on the negative side. Ignition wire colours can vary depending upon the engine maker.
Does a fuel sending unit need to be grounded?
Yes, the sending unit needs to be grounded to the body for it to work correctly.
How do you test a 2 wire fuel sending unit?
To check the wire, disconnect it from both the sender and the “S” pin on back of the gauge. Set your multimeter to the Ohms scale and check the resistance within the wire. If there is no resistance (as close to zero Ohms as possible), the circuit is good and the sender is faulty.
