the Max. MAX (MIN) blinking when Display window shows the minimum value or
the time of Min.
3. AL on indicates alarm is on and J1 relay is pulled in (closed).
4. Set key. To enter parameter setting mode, and to select or save parameters.
5. Shift key (“>”). In the parameter setting mode, press this key to select the digit
to be changed. In the normal operation mode, press this key to change the
display in the sequence as shown in the diagram below. Please note that time is
expressed in Hour.Minute (hh.mm) format.
6. Up key (“Λ”). In the parameter setting mode, press it to increase the displayed

Description
1. Terminal 1 and 2 are for power input.
2. Terminal 3 is for display brightness control. When connecting the
illumination signal (+12 V) to it, the brightness with synchronized with headlight.
If not connected, the brightness can still be controlled by “Λ” up key.
3. Terminal 4 and 5 are for alarm relay output. See Application example 1
below for how to use it.
4. Terminal 6, 7, 8, and 9 are for different types of input signal. Use 6 and 7 for
thermocouple input. Use 6, 7, and 8 for RTD sensor input. Use 6 and 9 for
pressure sensor.
5. Terminal 10 supplies a regulated +5VDC for powering pressure transducer.

display value. They do not apply to temperature sensors.
Note 2. For correcting the offset at zero: Display = measurement + PSb.
This parameter only applies to temperature sensors.

Note 5a. Relay action setting.
1) Set AH1 = AL1, relay is disabled.
2) Set AH1 > AL1, relay is for high limit alarm. See Figure 5 (left).
3) Set AH1 < AL1, relay is for low limit alarm. See Figure 5 (right).

Note 5b. AH2 and AL2 parameters should be ignored. They are associated with
J2 relay, which are not available in this gauge.
D.2.B) How to change alarm parameters
The procedure to change alarm parameters is similar to the procedure for basic
parameter setting shown in Figure 4 except the access code is 0001 instead of
0089.

Note 6. Peak function is inter-locked.
1) When MA is turned off, MA-t cannot be set to “on”.
2) When MI is turned off, MI-t cannot be set to “on”.
D.3.B) How to change peak value parameters
The procedure to change the peak value settings is similar to the procedure for
changing basic parameters in Figure 4 except access code is 0037 instead of
0089.
D.3.C) Reset the peak value
The peak values is stored in the memory even the meter is powered off. To reset
them, change display to show MA, MA-t, MI or MI-t. Then, press and hold “Λ”
key for 3 seconds. The display will show “- - - - “, indicating the memory (for all
four parameters) is reset. The meter will start to catch the new peak after 2
seconds.
E. Application Examples
E.1 Exhaust gas temperature (EGT)
Auber’s EGT probes are type K thermocouples. To read an Auber’s EGT probe,
set the sensor type inty to “k” (k). The gauge is preset for the EGT application.
Wire the meter as the diagram below (Figure 6) and it is ready to go.

E.2 Pressure transducers
Here is a brief description of how to set up the gauge for reading an Auber-103,
3 Bar MAP Sensor.
a) Identify the power, signal, and ground wires on the pressure sender (please
refer to the manual of pressure sender). Connecting power cable to terminal 10,
signal cable to terminal 9, and ground cable to terminal 6.
b) To display the pressure in bar (with 0.01 bar resolution), enter the Basic
Parameter Setting Mode using access code 0089, change the input type Inty to
“5v” input (5v), then set dot = 00.00, PuL = 00.01, and PuH = 03.15.
c) To display the pressure in PSI (with 0.1 PSI resolution), enter the Basic
Parameter Setting Mode with access code 0089, change the input type Inty to
“5v” input (5V), then set dot = 000.0, PuL = 000.2, and PuH = 045.7.
E.3 Water/oil temperature sensor
If a VDO 150° C/300° F sender is used to read water/oil temperature, here is the
basic settings.
a) Connect the VDO sender to terminal 8; jump a wire between terminal 6 and 7;
jump another wire between terminal 2 and 6.
b) Enter the Basic Parameter Setting Mode using code 0089; set input type
Inty = vdo; and set CorF to “C” or “F” for desired temperature unit.
