Series II 

ODYR-17-1/SLX-17-1 CLOCK WITH COMPASS AND TEMP 

 
Introduction: 

The Odyssey Series II gauges from Dakota Digital, Inc. incorporates the reliability and quality of our 

standard gauges, along with several unique features and easy mounting.  These features include:   

 

Industry standard 2-1/16” gauge size. 

 Weather-proof 

construction. 

 

12 hour format with AM/PM display. 

 

8 point compass heading. (N, NW, W, SW, S, SE, E, NE) 

 

Outside Temperature display. 

 

Microprocessor stabilized readings. 

 

Night dimming with lens label lighting. 

 

Non-Glare, high contrast lens. 

 

High Visibility VFD display for sunlight readability. 

 
Operation: 

The white/red wire should be connected to a constant 12 volt feed to keep the time.  The red wire should 

be connected to a 12 volt accessory feed.  The case provides the gauge ground.  Connect the ring terminal from 
the black wire to a screw at the top rear of the case.  Attach the loose end of the black wire to a main vehicle 
ground and also the temp sensor black wire.  When the blue wire has 12 volts, it will dim the display for night 
viewing.  The gray wire attaches to the temp sensor red wire.  The 3-pin plug will mate into a connector from the 
compass sensor. 

The push button on the front of the display switches between the three different display screens and is 

also used for calibration.  The three display screens are clock, compass, and temp all displayed at the same time; 
clock only in tall format; compass and temp only in tall format.  Pressing and releasing the switch while the 
ignition key is on will switch between the different screens.
