The PLX DM-5 OilTemp is a standard size 2 1/16" (52mm) LED
automotive display designed to display the values measured
from the SM-FluidTemp. Measuring only 0.7" (18mm) thin, it
can virtually be mounted anywhere. The DM-5 is designed to fit
into most aftermarket 2 1/16" (52mm) cups, and mounts for
seamless integration into your vehicle. This is an ideal
accessory for your SM-FluidTemp module. Up to 32 can be daisy chained together in the iMFD system.
CONNECTION DIAGRAM:
3.3V from SM - Connects to the SM-FluidTemp module's 3.3V output. This is where the DM-5 gets it's power.
Serial RX - Digital Serial input from iMFD chain
Serial TX Digital Serial output to remaining iMFD chain
*No ground connection is necessary. Ground obtained from Serial RX, TX
USES:
There are two recommended uses for the DM-5. The simple setup
connects to just one SM module. This is great for stand alone
gauges. The full setup is great for monitoring several SM
modules simultaneously. Looking at the above diagram. the DM-5
OilTemp labeled (1) automatically displays the information from
SM-FluidTemp labeled (4). The DM-5 OilTemp labeled (2)
automatically displays the information from SM-FluidTemp labeled
(5). The DM-5 OilTemp labeled (3) automatically displays the
information from SM-FluidTemp labeled (6) and so on.... The DM-5 automatically "knows" where to look for the information with respect to where it is connected in the iMFD chain.
