OPERATION
Series 7000/8000/9000 Gas Multifunction Instrument
Series 7000(0)/8000(0)/9000(0) Gasoline Multifunction Instruments use a microprocessor-based, non-volatile Random Access
Memory (RAM) to store engine hours and gallons of fuel consumed. Non-volatile RAM requires no power for memory retention.
All “8”s are displayed for the first 3 seconds when the instrument is powered up. For 1 second after that, the instrument shows switch
positions and software version. After completing its start-up sequence, the instrument goes into normal operating mode. If supply
voltage drops below 10 VDC on engine start-up, the instrument may flicker or display “8”s for about 2 seconds.
If supply voltage drops below 10 VDC, the instrument may flicker, display “8”s, or display a row of decimals across the bottom of the
RPM window. This does not affect instrument accuracy. Stored engine hours and fuel consumption data will not be lost.
Liquid crystal displays have an OPTIMUM VIEWING ANGLE. If your viewing
angle is outside this range, contrast will decrease and numbers may flicker.
Optimum
viewing
angle
Before drilling any holes in your dash, it’s a good idea to temporarily power up
the instrument (+12V DC to the RED wire on plug #9, 12V DC to the BLACK
wire on plug #5) before installing it and see if the intended viewing angle is
acceptable.
Engine Hours
The engine hour meter is shipped at or near zero hours. It accurately tracks the
number of hours your engine has run. Unlike most hour meters, it only
accumulates time when the engine is actually running. If the meter is turned ON,
but the engine is NOT running, NO time is added to the engine hour display.
In twin engine installations, the HOUR window displays hours for the
engine being viewed. The engine hour meter can only be reset at the
factory.

Tachometer (RPM)
The Tachometer window shows engine speed to the nearest 10RPM.
On twin engine installations, the Hours window shows which engine you
are looking at.
Synchronizer, (Twin Engine, Single Instrument Installations Only)
When the Hours/Synch switch is turned on a bar graph is displayed in the Hours window. The upper graph shows, which engine is
turning faster, and the lower graph shows the slower, engine. The further out of synch your engines are, the longer the bar graph will
grow. The Port engine always shows on the left and the Starboard engine always shows on the Right.

Flow Consumption (GPH, LPH)
The GPH/LPH window shows the rate at which your engine is consuming fuel. The GPH/LPH and Gallons/Liters readings will both
change if the Black Calibration Switch on the back of the instrument is turned. On twin engine installations you’ll see either the Port
or Starboard engine fuel consumption.
