Auto Meter 5646 - Manual (Page 3)

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.
NOTE: The Pro Control Active State does not
affect the color of each dial region.
Gauge Reset
It may be desired to reset the gauge. This clears programmable
settings to a system default. With power off, hold in both buttons.
Apply power to the gauge, wait two seconds, and release both buttons.
The dial face will flicker white several times and return to normal
operation. At this point, the gauge has been reset.

pro Control Active States
The active region for Pro Control outputs are user configurable. For
example, consider a pressure gauge with a low warning set point at
20 PSI . The gauge can be configured so the associated Pro Control
output is active when the pointer falls below the set point [less than 20
PSI] (active low) OR when the pointer is beyond the set point [greater
than 20 PSI] (active high). Likewise, consider a pressure gauge with
high warning set point at 95 PSI. Again, the gauge can be configured
so the associated Pro Control is active when the pointer falls below
the set point [less than 95 PSI] (active low) OR when the pointer
progresses beyond the set point [greater than 95 PSI] (active high).
To change the active state:
With power off, press and hold the pEAK button. Apply power to the
gauge. Release the pEAK button. Press and release the wARN
button. The gauge is now in Active State Set Mode. The pointer will
point straight up at the value in the top center of the dial. Press and
release the wARN button to toggle back and forth between the low and
high warning point active state modes. Doing so will cause the dial to
change back and forth between green and red. When setting the low
warning active state the dial face will be green. When setting the high
warning active state the dial face will be red.
Once the designated warning mode is selected (green or red) press and
hold the wARN button to toggle between active high and active low. As
you hold the button the pointer will continuously sweep from the left of
center and to the right of center pausing at each side. Left of center is
active low and right of center is active high. Release the wARN button
when the pointer is in the position of the desired active state. Once you
have selected the desired state, 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 state selection. State selections are saved when power is off.

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

the gauge will return to normal operation with your new High Warn color
selection. Color selections are saved when power is off.
