LED SETTINGS
The 10 full-color LEDs (A) above the digital screen are status or an alarm indicator for the selected instrument field. The Led’s color, direction and step interval, and alarm can be set in the submenu.

1.  Enter the LED Settings submenu (Fig. 11).
2.  Edit the MODE field to and use the arrow up and arrow down buttons to select either ALERT RPM or ALERT SHIFT instrument. Consult Table 2 for the available instrument alarms.
3.  Press the OK button to confirm the selection.
4.  Choose the STEP value. There are four options: 100, 200, 250 or 500 rpm. This is the number of RPMs between each LED or each color change.
5. Chose to either use the SHOW MODE or MULTICOLOR for the method that the LEDs illuminate to indicate each step.

SHOW MODE

1.  Enter the SHOW MODE field to choose the direction for the LEDs to light up during the step interval. The options are from left to right (•→) or outside to middle. (→•←).
2.  Enter the chosen STEP interval. One LED will light up per each interval above the default start limit. The interval is calculated differently based on which direction you’ve chosen in step 4.

•  Left to Right Interval. The LEDs will remain dark until you reach 4,000 RPM. Then for every 100 RPM after that, another LED will light up, until all 10 LEDs are lit. When the upper RPM limit is reached, the LEDs will flash.

• Interval chosen x 10 = Start of Lower Limit Value

•  STEP 100 RPM x 10 = 1,000 RPM

•  5,000 RPM – 1,000 RPM = 4,000 RPM

•  Outside to Middle
  The LEDS will remain dark until you reach 4,000 RPM. The LED at each end will light up. Then for every 200 RPM after that another LED on each side will light up until the last two LEDs in the middle will light up. When the upper RPM limit is reached, the LEDs will flash.

•  Interval chosen x 5 = Start of Lower Limit Value

•  Step 200 RPM x 5 = 1,000 RPM

•  5,000 RPM – 500 RPM = 4,500 RPM

MULTICOLOUR
The MULTICOLOR option is an alternate method of displaying the step order with the LEDs. This replaces the SHOW MODE option.

DIMMER
Changing the three DIMMER options (Red, Green and Blue) changes the colour gradation of the LEDs.

ALARM SETTINGS
The instruments in the Alarm list can be set with a custom upper Limit Value instead of using the default value.

1. Select the IND. Output and switch to ON (Fig. 12).
2.  Select the individual setting and press the OK button so it is editable. Adjust the number with the arrow up or arrow down. Press the OK button again to confirm the selection.
3.  Once all settings are adjusted, click on the C button to leave the submenu.

INSTRUMENT| DEFAULT VALUE| UNIT| LOWER LIMIT VALUE| UPPER LIMIT VALUE| TYPE OF ALARM| IND OUTPUT
---|---|---|---|---|---|---
TACHO| 6000| RPM| 0| 9000| ≥ Set value| Open
TACHO| 5000| RPM| 0| 9000| ≥ Set value| Open
SPEED| 120| km/h| 0| 400| ≥ Set value| Open
BATTERY VOLTAGE| 11| V| 8| 18| ≥ Set value| Open
COOLANT| 105| ºC| -40| 140| ≥ Set value| Open
Engine Oil Temperature| 115| ºC| -40| 140| ≥ Set value| Open
TURBO/IN-MF P.| 115| kPa| 0| 255| ≥ Set value| Open
FUEL PRESSURE| 50| kPa| 0| 600| ≥ Set value| Open

The rear port is used by technicians that use external sensors to monitor the oil pressure and exhaust gas temperature. It is not accessed during normal daily use.

FUNCTIONAL TESTS

WARNING! Only perform these tests at a location where you will not endanger yourself or bystanders. Make sure you are driving safely by taking into consideration the road and weather conditions and the potential of other vehicles or people appearing on the road unexpectedly.

There are three functional tests: drive, acceleration and braking. The vehicle must be in motion for these tests to work. You can only perform one test at a time.

1.  Select Start and choose one of the three tests. It will appear across from the word MODE.
   RST 0-100km/h will test how long it takes your vehicle to reach 100 km/h
   RST 100-0km/h will test how quickly your vehicle can brake.
   RST 400m will test your vehicle’s rate of acceleration.

2.  Drive until you’ve attained the distance or speed required for the test.

3.  Select play and choose the test you wish to view. A new screen will appear with the data for the test. You can either play it back or save it.

DIAGNOSE
IMPORTANT! Some older vehicles may not provide data results in the Diagnose screen.

• Press SCAN DTCS and the unit will display any Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) errors detected.
• Select and press CLEAN DTCS to remove the current list of DCTS errors. You will not be able to retrieve them.
• Press Data Stream to open a submenu that will display the current error codes found.

HEADS-UP DISPLAY (HUD)
The display screen information can be set-up to reflect off the inner windshield for easy reference without affecting your view of the road.
Due to the limited lumen output, this function is best used at night, as the image may be washed out on a sunny day.

1. Choose the display configuration you wish to view while driving.
2. Go to the configuration screen and select display settings.
3.  Choose Mode, then select Reversed. The display will now be upside down.
4.  Push the HUD unit (C) away from you until it is horizontal.
5.  You will see the display reflected off your windscreen. Adjust the brightness until you can see the information, but it does not interfere with your view of the road.

MANUAL WAKE UP FUNCTION
You can manually start the unit without the motor running. This is necessary with some engines, as the DTC codes cannot be cleared with a running engine.

1.  Turn the vehicle key to the ON position, but do not start the engine.
2.  Press one of the four-button once to bring the unit out of hibernation.
3.  Press a button again within a minute to prevent it from re-entering hibernation.
4.  Once you have finished your tasks, press one of the four buttons once and it will reenter hibernation in one minute.
   You can also turn off the unit while running the engine by following step 4.

FUEL CONSUMPTION DATA

Obtaining the correct fuel consumption result requires two factors:

1.  The fuel consumption calculation requires the selection of the correct fuel type in System Setting – Fuel Type. Chose Gasoline or Diesel based on your fuel system.
2.  The fuel consumption data calculation is based on either the airflow data or the turbine/inlet pressure. A vehicle without either of these systems will not display the correct fuel consumption.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

1.  Maintain the tool with care. A tool in good condition is efficient, easier to control and will have fewer problems.
2. Inspect the tool components periodically. Repair or replace damaged or worn components. Only use identical replacement parts when servicing.
3.  Maintain the tool’s labels and nameplates. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact Princess Auto Ltd. for replacements.

WARNING! Only qualified service personnel should repair the tool. An improperly repaired tool may present a hazard to the user and/or others.

DISPOSAL
Recycle a tool damaged beyond repair at the appropriate facility. Contact your local municipality for a list of disposal facilities or by-laws for electronic devices, batteries, oil or other toxic liquids.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Visit a Princess Auto Ltd. location for a solution if the tool does not function properly or parts are missing. If unable to do so, have a qualified technician service the tool.
