Default SAGA Stepper Gauges- Help !!

I have a set of saga gauges as shown below:



I need a guide or manual on these urgently, my issue is that there is an over-boost alert from the boost gauge which is set too low.

I need to know how to change the setting on this but do not know how to do so. I have a little reset switch that you plug in the back of each gauge to reset them, tried fiddling around but still not too sure as it had not made a difference.

Advice needed urgently...

Thanks

Neel

I've had these Gauges for about 6 months or so now and still don't know how to work them lol.
They do look good though

Isn't there a website? Defi has a website with online downloadable instructions, I'd be surprised if these haven't?

Try here for instructions: sales@autodials.co.uk

I've had a look on that site Alcazar, not found anything...
Looked everywhere, not sure what to do.
Wondering if someone has the same gauges and still had the manual that came with it...

Thanks

If they're anything like the Prosport/Autogauges ones, the way to reset them would be:

"Push and hold the button until the pointer begins to flash. Release button. Then while the pointer is still flashing (set mode) push the button and hold it to move the pointer fast or each time you push the button the pointer will move in small increments to the exact point where you want to set it. After you have the pointer where you want to set your warning level just wait about 6 seconds and the pointer will stop flashing and retain that point as your new warning level. If you pass the point you wanted to set the level at-just keep going and once it reaches the end of the scale it will begin to come back."

Nedster I have done the steps you instructed, works properly, however when I turn the car off and turn it back on it seems to be resetting itself back to normal.
Please advice further thanks...

Hi Neel,thought we were gettin somewhere,are you setting with engine at idle needs to be set with ignition on only i think, also have you got the calibration **** might be best to start again.Other than that setting is as i said earlier i know mine went a bit weird once and i recallibrated it and reset and been fine since.if you still have problems may be worth contacting autodials.co.uk they could help as said earlier.

Yeah it sets but does not save, I have set it with engine running and also with ignition on, makes no difference . I have already reset it, makes no difference. This is getting very annoying now.

Thanks

If it's setting OK but not saving, most likely you've got the +12v input wired to an ignition-switched feed instead of a permanent feed. I don't think many of these gauges will save otherwise (even a lot of decent Jap-branded CD players don't save radio presets and so on without continuous power, so not really surprising).
