Overview
Description
Driver Information Center displays vehicle and engine parameters
received from the SAE J1708/J1587 engine data bus. The parameters
are displayed on a two-line by twenty character, back lit liquid crystal
display (LCD) while the ignition is on. When the ignition is turned off,
Driver Information Center goes to ‘sleep’ and blanks the LCD. When
asleep, Driver Information Center keeps the clock running and monitors
the alarm. When the ignition is turned on again, Driver Information
Center ‘wakes up’, turns on the LCD and displays the same function
menu and field as was displayed before the ignition was turned off.Four
tactile keys allow the user to toggle and scroll through the vehicle and
engine parameters, set the time and the alarm, and start, stop or reset
any of the six Trips.
Note: - Engine and vehicle parameters are only displayed by the
Driver Information Center, they cannot be modified.
Installation
See Appendix A for the Driver Information Center installation instructions
Operating Environment
Driver Information Center operates within a temperature range of -20°C
to +70°C. Temperatures outside of this range may cause difficulty in
reading the display, however, the functionality of the Driver Information
Center will not be affected.

The Trips Setup menu in the diagram below is another example of a
two line display.
All the instructions in this manual refer to the top display line. The bottom
display line functions in exactly the same manner as the top.
In the diagram above, the top line displays Engine Oil Pressure while the
bottom line displays Coolant Temperature. Either line could be changed
to display a different parameter without affecting the other line of the
display. Some Driver Information Center functions require that both lines
be used to display one screen. For example, if the Upper Expand key is
pressed and held for longer than two seconds, the abbreviated text of the
upper line will be expanded, resulting in the display below. This two line
screen will be shown for four seconds before the previous screen returns.
Reading the Display
The Driver Information Center display has upper and lower lines. The
lines normally function independently of each other allowing two different
parameters to be displayed at once.

Function Keys
Driver Information Center has four keys. In this guide, the keys to the left
of the display are referred to as the Upper and Lower Expand keys. The
keys to the right of the display are referred to as the Upper and Lower
Set keys.
Using the Expand Keys
The Expand keys are located on the left side of the display and control
the line of text next to the key. Pressing and releasing a key scrolls the
line across the different function menus. (Refer to the Driver Information
Center Menu Tree for the function menus provided by the unit). Pressing
and holding a key for longer than two seconds when a parameter (not a
menu title) is displayed will display an expanded description of that
parameter. Both display lines will be used for the description and it will
remain displayed for four seconds.
Using the Set Keys
The Set keys are located on the right side of the display and control the
line of text next to the key. Pressing and releasing a key scrolls the line
down through the different parameters or functions of a particular menu.
(Refer to the Driver Information Center Menu Tree for the function
menus provided by the unit). If the line is displaying a menu function,
press and hold the Set key for more than two seconds to run the function.
