Title: Audit output for led monitor
Post by: Yetch on February 23, 2016, 11:57:09 am
Is there a way to display the audit tank monitor info on an lcd monitor?  I have removed the old tube monitor, but could use a wiring diagram in order to hook up an lcd monitor with Rca plugs to display the info, if possible.  Use a different monitor for rear camera.
Thanks, Mike

BNC to RCA converter from Radio Shack (or online at Amazon) is working for me.

Mike,

The backup camera feeds into the Audit and the dash switch switches views between the tanks and the backup camera therefore there is no need to have two displays.  In addition to the adapter you will need a BNC to BNC cable because the short cable from the Audit to the monitor only has BNC on one end.  Here in Houston, TX there aren't any Radio Shacks left but there are others like Fry's.  You might find the stuff at Best Buy, too.

I have a specific monitor for multiple backup cameras mounted on left side of drivers area, not using any component of the audit system.  Audit monitor failed, so I have removed it from instrument panel.  What I would like to do is utilize a second small screen to monitor the tank data, but dont know how to get the output of the audit system, nor where it comes from, to the new monitor.

The "brain" is in a box attached to a plywood pull-out panel under the cupholder on the dash. If you detached the BNC from the old CRT monitor the other end should be at the "brain". Just add the adapters and turn on the old "Monitor and Select" switches and you should have it.
