A friend of mine have bought an old CAT excavator, and we are looking at upgrading and fixing some gauges.
I have put him on the idea of replacing old ugly, nonfunctioning and new gauges with an Utcomp.
Do you have any advices on how easy or not it would be?
The original display shows water temperature, hydraulic oil temperature, fuel level, oil temperature, and we would like to add oil pressure as well.
One of the gauges was tapped from the original display unit, so I was able to measure the voltage. With engine off I measured 4.7V, and when we started the engine it showed 6V, going down to 5,7V after a while. I haven´t been able to measure the other gauges yet, but I put my friend on the task of digging up documentation.
From what I´ve written here - how realistic would it be to be able to tap the 4 existing gauges on the excavator?
