This Bus Interface Module has a constant battery power input and an accessory input.  The battery power keeps the 
clock running and the accessory input powers the bus interface port.  There are two interface (I/O) ports on the 
module.  Either one can be connected to the gauge system or to another module, allowing several units to be daisy 
chained together.  Do not connect the I/O port to anything other than a Dakota Digital gauge or BIM.  Do not mount the 
module in the engine compartment; it should be mounted in interior of the vehicle. 
Each BIM needs a unique ID number assigned to it.  It can be assigned an ID from 1 

– 16, or turned off.  The factory 

default ID number is 7.  The clock can run in 12 hour or 24 hour format.  The factory default time format is 12 hour.
