Fully lit needles, backlit faces, and highly visible LCD message centers are a few of the things that you can see which set the VHX Series apart from yesterday’s traditional approach to instrumentation. A few of the features which you don’t normally see are the micro-controlled precision stepper motors, solid state sensors for unparalleled accuracy, and user-customizable display feedback, all supported by an unrivaled limited lifetime warranty which has become the standard for Dakota Digital instrumentation systems . Completely engineered and manufactured at our facility in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, the VHX Series has completely revolutionized the instrumentation industry!

Lighting Technology
Back lit technology is popular with performance instrumentation due to precise lighting allowing you see what is truly important when you really need it at a quick glance. Each number, tick mark, annunciator, needle, indicator and digital message center is lit by a series of LEDs behind the gauge face
Auto-contrasting LCD display for optimal view in the brightest of sunlight
LED backlit at night to match/complete the look at night
Sensors Included
Water tempurature – 1/8″ NPT, ground isolated sensor with 10 ft harness
Oil pressure – 1/8″ NPT solid state sensor with 10 ft harness
Cable driven speed sensor/generator – replaces GM and/or Ford style speedometer cable with a 10 ft wire harness. Sensor requires approximately 5″ clearance extending between the cable drive output and any obstruction.
