SERVICE
For service send your product to Auto Meter in a well packed shipping carton. Please include a note explaining what the problem is along with your phone number. Please specify when you
need the product back. If you need it back immediately mark the outside of the box "RUSH REPAIR," and Auto Meter will service product within two days after receiving it. ($10.00 charge will be
added to the cost of "RUSH REPAIR.") If you are sending product back for Warranty adjustment, you must include a copy (or original) of your sales receipt from the place of purchase.
press and hold the C button. Weight is adjusted in 10lb increments, and can be set to any value from 500 to
8,000lbs. When the correct value is displayed, press the B button to confirm.
Reaction Time: Enabling this function allows the D-PIC to test your reaction time while in
the 1/4 mile mode only.
With Reaction time on, D-PIC will perform a dragstrip “Christmas Tree” start and
then measure the time it takes between when it displays and when the vehicle starts to move.
To enable or disable Reaction Time, enter Set Up mode as described above, then press the A button until
is displayed, then press Enter to confirm. The display will then read
if reaction time feature is enabled, or
if it is disabled. To enable reaction time, press the A button, to disable, press the C button. When the
desired result is displayed, press ENTER to confirm.
Bar Graph Forward High Setting: The bar graph forward high mode allows you to adjust the G force scale for forward acceleration as
shown on the D-PIC when operating on the forward axis in Real Time mode. For example, if you set the to 1g, when the bar is fully lit
on the right hand (acceleration) side, the vehicle is achieving 1g of acceleration force or more.
To select Bar Graph Forward High Mode, enter Set Up as described above, then press the A button until is displayed, then press
ENTER to confirm. The current setting should be displayed, and can be adjusted up and down from .3 to 2.0 G’s using the A and C buttons.
When the desired result is displayed, press ENTER to confirm.
Bar Graph Forward Low Setting: The bar graph forward low mode allows you to adjust the G force scale for rearward acceleration
(deceleration or braking) as shown on the D-PIC when operating on the forward axis in Real Time mode. For example, if you set the to
1g, when the bar is fully lit on the left hand (deceleration) side, the vehicle is achieving 1g of force or more during braking.
To select Bar Graph Forward Low Mode, enter Set Up as described above, then press the A button until is displayed, then press
ENTER to confirm. The current setting should be displayed, and can be adjusted up and down from .3 to 2.0 G’s using the A and C buttons.
When the desired result is displayed, press ENTER to confirm.
Bar Graph Lateral Setting: The bar graph lateral mode allows you to adjust the G force scale for lateral acceleration (cornering) as
shown on the D-PIC when operating on the lateral axis in Real Time mode. For example, if you set the to 1g, when the bar is fully lit on
either side, the vehicle is achieving 1g of force or more during cornering.
To select Bar Graph Lateral Mode, enter Set Up as described above, then press the A button until is displayed, then press ENTER to
confirm. The current setting should be displayed, and can be adjusted up and down from .3 to 2.0 G’s using the A and C buttons. When the
desired result is displayed, press ENTER to confirm.
Start G’s: The D-PIC is designed to work on a wide variety of vehicles from mild to wild. For each vehicle, the level of performance
modifications that have been made to the engine such as whether solid engine mounts are used or not can have a large affect on vibrations
that are transmitted throughout the vehicle. For nearly-stock vehicles that do not vibrate that much, you can set the starting G setting lower (.1-
.2) to accurately sense when the vehicle begins to move. On higher vibration vehicles, a setting of .1 to .2 could cause the D-PIC to false start
due to engine vibration. In those higher performance applications, set the starting G setting to .3 to .4. By adjusting the starting G setting you
can achieve the best combination of sensitivity without false starting (triggering the D-PIC too early). Remember, with a higher starting G
setting, if you launch the car soft, the D-PIC may not sense the start of the run. Choose the best setting for your vehicle and the way you
launch the car most of the time.
Vehicle Calibration: Performing this operation will be necessary in order to obtain correct readings from the D-PIC while operating in Real
Time mode. The Vehicle Calibration function allows the D-PIC to determine its angle, pitch, and general location in your vehicle, and to
compensate accordingly, allowing you to mount it virtually anywhere in any position, and still get accurate readings.
To select Vehicle Calibration Mode, enter Set Up as described above, then press the A button until is displayed, then press ENTER to
confirm. should display. At this point bring the vehicle to a stop on a flat and level surface, then press ENTER. will display, at this
point, D-PIC is taking a stationary reading. Do not move the vehicle at this time or your calibration will be incorrect and you will need to re-
calibrate. Next D-PIC will light all LEDs on the radial bar graph and display
. Launch your vehicle forward in a good, hard, straight path,
as if you were starting a 1/4 mile or 0-60 run. Accelerate forward, shifting smoothly if necessary. When finished with the calibration procedure
the D-PIC will display done for 3 seconds and then return to Real Time Mode. It is very important while performing the acceleration part of the
Vehicle Calibration that the vehicle not bounce up and down or move side to side.
Do Not: spin the tires, slide the vehicle sideways,
powershift, lug, jerk, bounce or turn the vehicle during this process or the calibration will be incorrect and you will need to repeat the
calibration process again. To check your calibration, change your display to Real Time Lateral mode (see Real Time Mode). When you
accelerate and brake in a straight line you should see very minimal if any lateral G force displayed. If you do, repeat calibration process as
outlined above. If problem persists, contact Auto Meter Tech Support for further assistance.
