Page 2 INSTALLATION 1. Disconnect the negative battery cable. 2. Secure the gauge in a 2 1/16th” (52MM) mounting hole with the supplied bracket. 3. Plug the 8-wire power harness into the mating connector on the back of the gauge and connect the wires as shown in Figure 1. Note: the locating tabs on the side of the connector should be nearest the center of the gauge. 4. Thread the sensor into a suitable pressure port that has 1/8” NPT female threads. Note: a small amount of thread sealant may be used. 5. Connect the sensor to the gauge using the 3-wire sensor cable. The single-row connector connects to the back of the gauge. The locating tabs on the single- row connector should be nearest the center of the gauge. 6. Reconnect the negative battery cable. RED (Power)- Connect to a constant 12 volt power source utilizing a 5A fuse. BLACK (Ground) – Connect to a clean power ground. PINK (Switched Power) – Connect to a switched 12 volt power source utilizing a 5A fuse. GREY (Lighting Intensity) - Connect to instrument lighting circuit supply voltage. *WHITE (Analog Output) - Connect to Analog + Input. *BROWN (Analog Ground) - Connect to Analog – input. (Must be connected if Analog + is used) *optional – only needed if using the available differential analog output Wiring notes: RED - When wired as shown above, the gauge will park the needle against the needle stop upon powering down. Alternatively, the RED wire can be connected to the same location as the PINK wire. With the RED wire and the PINK wire connected to the same switched power, the needle will remain at its current position upon powering down. For both power connection methods, the needle will rotate to the parked position before rotating to the value of the current operating condition upon powering up. GREY – The GREY wire is used to control the lighting intensity of the gauge. Maximum lighting intensity is achieved when the GREY wire is connected to 12 volts. Minimum lighting intensity is achieved when the GREY wire is not connected. The instrumentation illumination on many vehicles is controlled by varying the supply voltage to the instrument panel lights. When the GREY wire is connected to the instrument panel supply voltage, the intensity of the gauge is controlled by the dimmer switch on the dash. WHITE – The WHITE wire should be connected to the Analog + input on the AEM EMS or the analog + input on a similar device. BROWN – The BROWN wire should be connected to the Analog – input. If the EMS or similar device does not have a – input, the BROWN wire should be connected to a sensor ground. If no sensor ground is available, the BROWN wire should be connected to a power ground. Note: The BROWN wire must be connected in order to get correct readings from the analog output.
Page 3 Changing the Bezel and Faceplate The gauge kit comes with the black bezel and black faceplate installed. However, the kit also comes with a silver bezel and multiple faceplates. Instructions on how to change the faceplate are included in the kit on a separate sheet of paper. To change the bezel, orient the gauge so you are looking at the faceplate. Rotate the bezel counter-clockwise to unscrew it from the gauge cup. The bezel, lens, and rubber spacer are all removable. Reassemble the gauge as shown below in Figure 3. Note: When reassembling the gauge, it may be necessary to apply a light amount of pressure on the lens and spacer to keep the faceplate from rotating when reinstalling the bezel. Do not over tighten the bezel when reassembling the gauge. Backlighting The AEM Boost Gauge has 7 different backlight colors available to the end user, which closely match some of the more common factory dash panels: white, blue, green, red, orange, light blue, and aqua. To change the backlight color, rotate the backlighting switch using a small precision style screwdriver. The backlight switch is accessed through the small hole in the back of the gauge. Figure 3.

Page 4 Status Lights The AEM Pressure gauge has two status lights, see Figure 4. The status light on the left will flash if an out of range low voltage sensor error is detected. The status light on the right will flash if an out of range high voltage sensor error is detected. In either case, the needle will point straight downward to signify an error. See Table 1 for corrective actions. Status Light Fault Corrective Action Left Sensor Wiring and/or sensor Make sure sensor is connected, check for broken wires Right Sensor and/or sensor wiring Check for shorted sensor wires, possible overpressure condition Figure 4.

Page 5 Analog Output The analog output from the AEM 100 PSI Pressure gauge is a linear dc voltage signal that varies from 0.5 Vdc at 0 psig (0 Bar) to 4.5 Vdc at 150 psig (10.3 Bar) over the operating range of the gauge. The signal is used for sending information to a data logger or an engine management system like the AEM EMS or F/IC. The transfer function for pressure units in PSI is listed below. Pressure (psi) = 37.5 x Voltage – 18.75 The transfer function for pressure units in bar is listed below. Pressure (bar) = 2.58 x Voltage – 1.29 A list of output voltages and corresponding pressures is shown below in Table 1.
