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.

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.

NOTE: The Pro Control Active State does not

affect the color of each dial region.
