Peak Value Memory
The peak values are stored in a memory, which is powered by an
internal back-up battery. They remain stored in this memory
when the external power source is disconnected from the system.
The internal battery needs to be changed every 4-5 years. When
the power from this battery drops below a safe level, an alarm is
triggered and the warning "Internal Battery Low" is displayed.
Note: Contact Auto Meter for service at (866) 248-6357 if this
message is displayed.
Alarms
The Display System has built-in warnings to alert the driver
when certain parameters either exceed or fall below their alarm
values. For example, a warning is signalled if the oil pressure
falls below its alarm value or if the oil temperature rises above its
alarm value. You can adjust the preset alarm levels when you
configure the Display System. See Chapter 4, Configuring the
Display System in this manual.
Some of the warnings (see the following table) are triggered only
after the engine speed has exceeded its "gate value" for RPM for
at least one second. Blipping the engine may not be enough to
trigger a warning. The gate value is a predefined RPM value that
is used to control when the system is to trigger a warning. This
prevents abnormal warnings from being triggered when, for
example, the engine is either not running, is idling or is being
warmed up. Once the engine has been running above the gated
RPM for at least one second, any problems will trigger an
immediate warning.
Note: The oil pressure alarm will come on at power-up until the
engine is started and pressure exceeds the threshold set for the
alarm.
