Description
GM-603 24V water temperature gauge (engine coolant temperature meter), 52mm (2 1/16 inch) analogue dial, 40-120°C Celsius scale, black dial with black bezel – for compatible 24V trucks, lorries, buses, tractors, plant machinery, diesel engines and marine installations.
Product Description
The GM-603 Water Temperature Meter is a reliable engine coolant temperature gauge designed to monitor engine operating temperature in 24V electrical systems.
Featuring a clear black dial with yellow temperature markings, a high-temperature red warning zone and a white indicator needle, this gauge allows drivers and operators to monitor engine temperature easily.
With a temperature measuring range of 40°C to 120°C, it is suitable for monitoring engine cooling systems in a wide range of commercial, agricultural, industrial and other 24V-powered vehicles and machinery.
The gauge features a durable black bezel, a clear display and rear electrical connection terminals for installation into a suitable vehicle dashboard or instrument panel.

Suitable Applications
This 24V water temperature gauge may be suitable for the following applications, subject to compatible wiring, sender requirements and dashboard mounting dimensions:
- Commercial trucks and heavy goods vehicles (HGVs).
- Buses and coaches.
- Agricultural tractors and farm machinery.
- Construction and earthmoving equipment.
- Excavators and loaders.
- Industrial diesel engines.
- Diesel generator sets.
- 24V commercial vehicle dashboards.
- Marine diesel engine installations with compatible 24V instrumentation.
- Other machinery and equipment using a compatible 24V temperature monitoring system.
Important: Please check your existing gauge, electrical system, temperature sender compatibility and mounting arrangement before purchasing.
Temperature Measuring Range
The gauge measures engine coolant temperature between:
- Minimum displayed temperature: 40°C
- Mid-range reference: 80°C
- Maximum displayed temperature: 120°C
- The red section on the dial indicates the high-temperature warning area.
This allows the operator to monitor engine temperature and identify potentially excessive operating temperatures.
Installation / Wiring
Wiring diagram for the GM-603. It is also the last photo in the product gallery. Fitting by a qualified auto electrician or vehicle technician is recommended.

Rear terminals (GM-603)
- S: temperature sender wire
- Middle terminal: earth / chassis ground (−)
- + terminal: to the ignition switch, then to battery +24V (fuse recommended in the supply line)
- Black cylinder on top (Twist-in Light): dashboard illumination bulb holder. It is not an ignition connection.
Step-by-step installation
- Disconnect the battery (negative first) before starting any work.
- Confirm the vehicle has a 24V DC system and that the temperature sender is compatible with this gauge. This gauge is not for direct connection to a 12V system.
- Fit the gauge in a 52mm (2 1/16 inch) mounting hole and secure it with the bridge (U-bracket) clamp and the two mounting studs.
- Fit the temperature sender into the engine water outlet or coolant thread, using a suitable sealant, so that it reads the coolant temperature.
- Connect the sender wire to terminal S.
- Connect the middle terminal to earth / chassis ground (−).
- Connect the + terminal to the ignition switch, which is fed from battery +24V, with a fuse in the supply line.
- If you want the dial lit, fit a bulb in the Twist-in Light holder (black cylinder on top). This is the illumination bulb holder only and is not the ignition feed.
- Check that all connections are tight and insulated, then reconnect the battery.
- Switch the ignition on and check that the needle moves as the engine warms up.
Why Choose This Gauge?
- Easy-to-read analogue display.
- Clear yellow Celsius markings.
- Black dial with contrasting white needle.
- High-temperature warning section.
- Suitable for compatible 24V applications.
- Compact 52mm dial diameter.
- Useful for monitoring engine cooling system temperature.
