2. Water Temperature Sensor Installation
To install the water temperature sensor, follow these steps:
- Measure Pipe Size: First, accurately measure the outer diameter of your vehicle's water pipe to select the correct adapter size.
- Select Adapter: Refer to the table below to choose the appropriate adapter based on your pipe's inside diameter.
Image: Guide for measuring water pipe diameter and selecting the correct adapter.
| Inside Diameter | Adapter Size | Outer Diameter Range |
|---|---|---|
| 16MM | 16MM | 19-21MM |
| 18MM | 18MM | 21-24MM |
| 22MM | 22MM | 25-28MM |

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and accurate performance of your NORXI 3-in-1 Multifunction Gauge, follow these general maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the display and casing with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the surface.
- Connections: Periodically check all wiring connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion.
- Environmental Protection: While the gauge is designed for automotive use, protect it from extreme weather conditions, direct prolonged sunlight, and excessive moisture when possible.
Troubleshooting
The gauge includes built-in alarm functions to alert you to potential issues:
- Low Voltage Alarm: If the voltage drops below 11.5V, the gauge will flash to indicate a low battery or charging system issue. Check your vehicle's battery and charging system.
- High Water Temperature Alarm: If the water temperature exceeds 120°C (248°F), the gauge will flash. This indicates engine overheating. Immediately check your vehicle's cooling system.
If you experience other issues not covered here, please ensure all connections are correct and secure. For persistent problems, contact customer support.
