Power-Up
The pointer will move counter clockwise to the stop pin and then moves to the current gauge reading. This procedure is an auto-calibration
function and is performed on every power-up. While this test is being performed, the gauge may make a clicking sound. This is normal.

Peak Recall
Press and hold the PEAK button to recall the highest temperature reading since the memory was last cleared. To clear the memory, press
and hold the PEAK button, and while still holding the PEAK button, press the WARN button. The pointer will move to the stop pin to indicate
that the memory has been cleared. Release the PEAK and WARN buttons to resume normal operation. The peak recall point is retained when
power is removed from the gauge.

Full Dial Warning

This gauge features full dial warning. When a warning point is reached, the entire dial illuminates in the programmed warning color. This feature
is available for both a high and low warning set point. In addition, the warning color will flash when an over warn point is reached.
Pro Control High Warning Set Point
To adjust the high warning set point, press and release the WARN button. The warning light will begin to flash and the pointer will move to the
previous high warning set point signifying that warning set mode has been selected. Once in set mode, press the WARN button to move the
pointer down, or press the PEAK button to move the pointer up. Three seconds after the last button press, the warning light will stop blinking
and the pointer will return to the current reading. The warning set points are retained when power is removed from the gauge.

Pro Control High Over Warn Set Point

To adjust the high over warn set point, press and hold the WARN button. After three seconds the warning light will begin to flash and the
pointer will move to the previous high over warning set point signifying that over warn set mode has been selected. Release the warn button.
Once in set mode, press the WARN button to move the pointer down, or press the PEAK button to move the pointer up. Three seconds after
the last button press, the warning light will stop blinking and the pointer will return to the current reading. The over warn set points are retained
when power is removed from the gauge.

Pro Control Low Warning Set Point

To adjust the low warning set point, press and hold the WARN button, and while still holding the WARN button, press and release the PEAK
button. The warning light will begin to flash and the pointer will move to the previous low warning set point signifying that warning set mode has
been selected. Once in set mode, press the WARN button to move the pointer down, or press the PEAK button to move the pointer up. Three
seconds after the last button press, the warning light will stop blinking and the pointer will return to the current reading. The warning set points
are retained when power is removed from the gauge.

Pro Control Low Over Warn Set Point

To adjust the low over warn set point, press and hold the WARN button, and while still holding the WARN button, immediately press and hold
the PEAK button. After three seconds the warning light will begin to flash and the pointer will move to the previous low over warning set point
signifying that over warn set mode has been selected. Release both buttons. Once in set mode, press the WARN button to move the pointer
down, or press the PEAK button to move the pointer up. Three seconds after the last button press, the warning light will stop blinking and the
pointer will return to the current reading. The over warn set points are retained when power is removed from the gauge.

Change Backlight Color

To change the backlight color:
With power off, press and hold the warning button. Apply power to the gauge. Release the WARN button. Press and release the PEAK button.
The pointer will move to half scale and the dial will illuminate with the current Backlight Color. Press and hold the PEAK button to cycle through
the available colors. Once you have selected the desired color, release PEAK and don’t press any buttons for about three seconds. The dial
will flicker white several times to indicate the desired setting has been saved and the gauge will return to normal operation with your new color
selection. Color selections are saved when power is off.

Change Low Warn Color

(Region A color)
Warn Color Set Mode:
With power off, press and hold the WARN button. Apply power to the gauge. Release the WARN button. The pointer will be at the stop pin and
the dial illumination will be off. Press and release the WARN button to cycle between HIGH warn color set and LOW warn color set modes. In
High Warn color set mode, the pointer will move to full scale and the dial will illuminate with the current High Warn color. In Low Warn color set
mode, the pointer moves to the minimum position and the dial will illuminate with the current Low Warn color.
To change Low Warn Color:
When the Low Warn color set mode has been selected (see above), press and HOLD the WARN button to cycle through the available colors.
Once you have selected the desired color, release the WARN button. Don’t press any buttons for about three seconds. The dial will flicker
white several times to indicate the desired setting has been saved and the gauge will return to normal operation with your new Low Warn color
selection. Color selections are saved when power is off.

Change High Warn Color

(Region C color)
Warn Color Set Mode:
With power off, press and hold the WARN button. Apply power to the gauge. Release the WARN button. The pointer will be at the stop pin and
the dial illumination will be off. Press and release the WARN button to cycle between HIGH warn color set and LOW warn color set modes. In
High warn color set mode, the pointer will move to full scale and the dial will illuminate with the current High Warn color. In Low Warn color set
mode, the pointer moves to the minimum position and the dial will illuminate with the current Low Warn color.
To change High Warn Color:
When the High Warn color set mode has been selected (see above), press and hold the WARN button to cycle through the available colors.
Once you have selected the desired color, release the WARN button. Don’t press any buttons for about three seconds. The dial will flicker
white several times to indicate the desired setting has been saved and the gauge will return to normal operation with your new High Warn color
selection. Color selections are saved when power is off.
 Lighting Mode
(Region B Color)
This gauge allows the dial lighting to operate in two modes, Full On or Dimmable. Factory default is Full On.

Full On: In this mode, the white lighting wire is ignored. The gauge dial lighting is always on at full brightness. (unless you select NO color
when setting the Backlight Color). If using Full On mode, white wire hook-up is not needed.
Dimmable: In this mode, the white wire is used to set the intensity of the dial lighting from full brightness down to off.
To change the Lighting Mode:
With power off, press and hold the PEAK button. Apply power to the gauge. Release the PEAK button and the dial face will illuminate with
either white lighting or blue lighting. Press and release the PEAK button to toggle between Full On (dial is illuminated white) and Dimmable
(dial is illuminated blue). Once you have selected the desired mode, don’t press any buttons for about three seconds. The dial will flicker white
several times to indicate the desired setting has been saved and the gauge will return to normal operation with your new mode selection. Mode
selections are saved when power is off.
Data Logger Output
This gauge is equipped to output the sensor signal to an external data logger system. This feature allows you to use the same sensor for both the
gauge and the data logger. With this gauge, it is not necessary to install two sensors to measure the same function.
To use this feature, you must have a data logger system installed in the vehicle and connect the data logger output from the gauge to the data
logger. Pins number 4 (black wire, ground) and 8 (yellow wire, sender signal) in the connector on the back of the gauge are the data logger sensor
signal and ground connections that must be connected to the data logger. After connecting the gauge to the data logger, refer to your data logger
instruction on how to calibrate the data logger to use the signal.
Quick Calibration: Ground Neg (-)
Use the voltage in the ‘DL Vout’ column to calibrate your data logger over the desired temp range. (Black)

The Pro Control feature activates a switched ground output at a user defined set point. Pro Control can be used to switch on a relay to activate
ignition kill, cooling fans, lamps, alarms, etc. The set points define three regions on the gauge dial, the region below the low set point, between the
set points, and above the high set point.
