Series 7500(0)/7600(0), 8500(0)/8600(0), 9500(0)/9600(0) Diesel 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 10V DC for any reason, the instrument displays 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 hours 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.
The engine hour meter cannot be reset.
Tachometer (RPM)
The Tachometer window shows engine speed in RPM and is accurate to within
± 1% (belt driven alternator tachometer signals are
only accurate to
± 50 RPM).
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 flow calibration switch (UPPER BLACK SWITCH) on the back of the instrument is turned.
Totalizer (Gallons, Liters)
The Gallons/Liters window shows total fuel consumed. The GPH/LPH and Gallons/Liters readings will both change if the flow
calibration switch (UPPER BLACK SWITCH) on the back of the instrument is turned.
Totalizer Reset
When the totalizer-reset switch is turned ON (Closed), the GALLONS/LITERS display will flash for ten seconds, then reset to zero.
Flashing indicates the instrument is in reset mode. If the RESET switch is turned OFF (Opened), before the totalizer reads “0.0”, the
instrument will NOT reset. If you neglect to turn OFF the RESET switch, “0.0” continues to flash.
