Pressing the ‘MENU’ button will set
the currently displayed power level as
the new operating level, and display a
‘SAvED’ message before returning to
the normal display mode. If no buttons
are pressed within five (5) seconds,
the module will return to the standard
display mode without saving any
changes.
Setting Desired Maximum
EGT Limit:
To set the desired maximum EGT limit
and alarm level from the normal display
mode, press the ‘MENU’ button until
‘TLMT’ is displayed, then press the
‘SELEcT’ button.
The current EGT limit will be displayed,
in degrees Fahrenheit (the default value
is 900 °F). Press the ‘SELEcT’ button to
continue operating with this EGT limit
and return to normal operating mode
(the module will display a ‘SAvED’
message confirming your selection),
or press the ‘MENU’ button to cycle
through all available EGT limit options
from 800 °F to 1500 °F, in 50 degree
increments.
Press the ‘SELEcT’ button when your
desired maximum EGT limit is displayed,
and the Six-Gun module will save your
selection, display a ‘SAvED’ message,
and return to the normal display mode.
If no buttons are pressed within five (5)
seconds, the module will return to the
standard display mode without saving
any changes.
NotE: When setting the maximum
desired EGt limit, keep in mind that
there can be up to a 250 °F difference in
measured EGt based on thermocouple
installation location. Gale Banks
Engineering recommends that EGt
not go over 1300 °F (1050 °F when
measured at the turbocharger’s exhaust
turbine outlet) for more than a few
seconds.
The Six-Gun module will now limit the
measured EGT at or below this value
as much as possible by reducing the
amount of extra fuel that it injects into
the engine. In addition, if the measured
EGT increases past the selected limit,
an alarm will trigger and illuminate the
warning light as well as flashing the
current EGT value on the display.
WARNING: If the Six-Gun Diesel
Tuner is installed in tandem,
or ‘stacked’ with another
performance module that modifies
the amount of fuel injected into
the engine, the Six-Gun module
may not be able to control EGT
within the set limit as it is not able
to control the functions of the
secondary performance module.
ALWAYS CAREFULLY MONITOR
YOUR EGT WHEN RUNNING
STACKED PERFORMANCE
MODULES.
Setting Default Display Options:
To set the desired default display
parameter from the normal display
mode, press the ‘MENU’ button until
‘DISP’ is displayed, then press the
‘SELEcT’ button.
The currently selected engine parameter
is displayed – to continue operating with
this parameter displayed by default on
the Six-Gun module, press the ‘SELEcT’
button – a ‘SAvED’ message will be
displayed and the module will return
to the normal display mode. To cycle
through the available parameter display
options, press the ’MENU’ button. ‘EGT’
will display the Exhaust Gas Temperature
from the thermocouple (if installed);
‘BST’ will display boost (manifold)
pressure; ‘FUEL’ will display the amount
of fuel entering the engine as ’vER’ and
percentage of the stock fuel amount.
’vER’ will display tuner port number and
current firmware/calibration version.
