Cristiano,

I'm not sure about the model numbers, but they are the Spek Pro Gauges.  I think the only difference in model numbers is the color of the gauge face, bezel and lens color.

Here are some pictures of my Spek setup.

I have the same set of Spek gauges and was able to set them up without using a potentiometer.  I also did not have to change any of the jumpers.

For the Fuel Level gauge, make sure you select Fuel Level %.  I found for Fuel Level, Water Temp, and Oil Temp, the gauges respond in a very narrow range of 0-57. You may be using too wide a range and thus not seeing the gauges react.

My 11K Tach has a wider range of 966-11556.

I know there are issues with getting any type of pressure gauge to work and you may have to use a potentiometer for that.

The Spek Fuel Level Gauge allows the gauge to be calibrated based on ohm ranges for different type fuel sender units.  Which of the following ohm ranges from the Spek manual would be most compatible with the Pro Gauge, or does it matter?

(73-10 Ω)
(16-158 Ω)
(0-30 Ω)
(0-90 Ω)
(240-33 Ω)
(107.5-7 Ω)
(131-12 Ω)
(Up to 300 max)

Here is the procedure to reset your ProGauge serial number:

Edit SimDash.exe.config which is in the SimDash' installation folder
change these lines:


        <setting name="ShowTestControls" serializeAs="String">
          <value>False</value>
        </setting>


to:


        <setting name="ShowTestControls" serializeAs="String">
          <value>True</value>
        </setting>


Start SimDash.
In the Pro-Gauge configuration screen  (RPM section) there is a button that says "Set Serial Number"
Click it and confirm (board should be connected at this point)
Unplug and plug the board in again
you won't be able to import the old settings, but you have to recreate new one and them export them.

General Discussions / 4-in-1 tach and ProGauge

« on: August 09, 2013, 11:32:59 pm »

I have my pro gauge board up and running with a 4-in1 tach I got off eBay:  http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemVersion&item=221246923517&view=all&tid=1214200119012

I mounted the pro gauge board in project box and added toggle switches for the tach’s power and lights.  The SymProjects' software was very easy to configure.  The only issue I had was that the tach initially would not calibrate all the way to 11,000 rpms.  I found information on the SymProjects’ website forums that I needed to turn up the small potentiometer on the tach’s circuit board.  It was easy to remove three small screws on the back of the tach to get to the circuit board.  A slight turn clockwise did the trick.  All of the tach’s gauges work perfectly in iRacing.
