Wet Compass backlight

[joaquim Sa Nogueira]

Hi,
I've bought recently a Simkits Wet Compass together with one CCU2 (my first experience with these gauges) and I don't see any backlight in it, although the compass is working perfectly.

Is it really necessary to wire (previously) the CN11 with a potentiometer as indicated in the available documentation, in order to have the backlight working?

Thanks in advance for your help
Regards

Hi,

Concerning my previous question:

The answer is yes, since after installing a 10K Ohm potentiometer, wired to the CN11, I have the backlight working and (obviously) can regulate the intensity of the light. So as far as I could understand, without potentiometer, no backlight at all!
