UltraGauge is a complete OBDII Automotive Information Center and Scan Tool.
Purpose built OBDII adapter and mobile Application pair –avoids compatibility issues (IT JUST WORKS!)
Fastest OBDII solution on the market
Autonomous independent OBDII adapter continues to calculate, accumulate and store data even if the mobile device is NOT in
the vehicle!
The key to the solution is the UltraGauge
B
Bl lu ue e
TM technology. It gathers, computes, and stores information about your vehicle any
time the ignition is turned on. As a user, you can view and act on this data via the UltraGauge
B
Bl lu ue e
TM Mobile Application which
automatically connects to the Adapter via Bluetooth when in range.
A little more info on the 2 main components which make up the UltraGauge Blue solution:
1. UltraGauge
B
Bl lu ue e
TM Adapter
A Bluetooth 4.1 enabled Adapter plugs into the vehicle’s OBDII port. It communicates to both the vehicle and to the
UltraGauge
B
Bl lu ue e
TM Mobile Application:
Vehicle Communication
Accesses the vehicle’s systems with OBDII. Plug the UltraGauge
B
Bl lu ue e
TM Adapter
into vehicle, and it will gather data and keep statistics as long as it remains attached.
It is a plug-and-forget Adapter
Mobile Application Communication
Communicates with Apple/Android mobile devices via Bluetooth 4.1. The mobile
device allows data captured and accumulated by the UltraGauge
B
Bl lu ue e
TM OBDII
Adapter to be monitored. The Mobile Application also allows the considerable
processing power of the mobile device to be used to provide advanced capabilities
Since data is computed and kept on the Adapter, data will be gathered any time the vehicle runs (regardless of whether or
not a mobile device is present). This is extremely important when computing parameters such as distance traveled, fuel
remaining, Time to Empty, etc.
2. UltraGauge BlueTM Mobile Application
Both Apple (iPhone, iPad, iTouch) and Android (phone/tablet) platforms Apps are
provided. The look-and-feel of the Application’s graphical user interface is tailored to
the target platform, however, the functionality remains constant. The application
communicates to the UltraGauge
B
Bl lu ue e
TM adapter and also interfaces with you (the user).
UltraGauge
B
Bl lu ue e
TM Adapter Communication
High Speed data transfer and communication is via Bluetooth 4.1.
User Communication
Gauges: Ability to create gauges (digital, analog, graphs, alerts) on any of
7 pages. Ability to view vehicle trouble codes and emissions readiness and much more
Mobile Application Configuration: Specify which UltraGauge
B
Bl lu ue e
TM Adapters to connect with; Override
which OBDII protocols are used; Upgrade Adapter; Restore Application/Adapter default settings; …
UltraGauge
B
Bl lu ue e
TM Vehicle Configuration: Access VIN based vehicle information from UltraGauge via the
Internet; Clear Check Engine Light; Perform vehicle calibration; Reset Trip gauges; …

UltraGauge can attempt to retrieve this information automatically or it can be entered manually. To use automatic
configuration, there must be a valid VIN displayed in the “VIN” field. If UltraGauge was able to retrieve this information from
your vehicle, a valid VIN (similar to the one shown above) will be displayed in this field. If not, “Unknown” is displayed.
If “Unknown” is displayed, manually enter the vehicle’s VIN.
Note: there are several places on your vehicle where the VIN tag may be located;
On the dashboard on the driver's side of the vehicle. It can be seen by standing outside the vehicle on the driver's
side and look where the corner of the dashboard meets the windshield.
On the driver's side door post.
With a valid VIN specified, click on the download icon at the top/bottom of the screen. UltraGauge will attempt to
populate the following fields:
Year
Make
Model
Torque
Engine Size
Fuel Type (Gas/Diesel)
Tank Size
Note: By clicking on the download icon, UltraGauge will attempt to access the internet which is subject to the data
plan associated with your mobile device or the ability to connect via WiFi
You will see messages at the bottom of the screen indicating connection to WWW and success or failure in retrieving
the vehicle information.
Regardless of the means for configuration, the internet or manually, you will need to save the information which was
configured. Save occurs automatically by navigating back to the previous page.
Congratulations!!!
You have completed the Installation/Setup.

Setup Considerations
UltraGauge
B

TM is pre-configured for the most compatible configuration. However, there may be situations that may require special
configuration. The following suggests configuration settings that may be necessary depending upon your vehicle as well as other
configuration setting you should be aware of.
E

There is no setting to switch between English and Metric units. UltraGauge
B
Bl lu ue e
TM supports both simultaneously. This allows
either or both to be displayed. For example, if you wish to display KPH and MPH, simply select KPH and MPH from the gauge
selection menu.
I

There are three “ignition on”or “Power On”detection modes, and there are three “ignition off” or “Power Off”modes. When the
ignition is switched to OFF, UltraGauge
B
Bl lu ue e
TM enters a low power mode (within 15 seconds) and will set the LEDs as follows:
The Power and Attention LEDs will be on solid
The Bluetooth and Activity LEDs will be off
If after the vehicle’s ignition switch is set to OFF, UltraGauge
B
Bl lu ue e
TM remains on, please see the “Power On Detection” section.
When the ignition is switched from OFF to START, UltraGauge
B
Bl lu ue e
TM will detect this in 1-6 seconds and power back on. If
UltraGauge
B
Bl lu ue e
TM fails to power back on, please see the “Power On Detection”section.

During the scanning and gauge discovery process, UltraGauge determines the most accurate means to calculate fuel usage based
upon the various vehicle sensors available. Normally no intervention or configuration is necessary. However, in rare cases, some
vehicles may mis-report the presence of a particular sensor which UltraGauge will then attempt to use to calculate the various
mileage gauges, such as Instantaneous MPG, Average MPG, Gallons/Hour, etc. When this issue is present, many of the mileage
gauges may display inaccurately or as “Err”. Other gauges such as engine temperature, RPM, MPH, etc., will display correctly.
This is common on many large Diesel Ford trucks. If seen, please see the “Force MPG Sensor”section for more information

If after installing UltraGauge

TM your vehicle is experiencing odd behavior, such as various dash lights have become lit, factory
gauges stop working, vehicle fails to shift, hard shifting, etc. Please see the “Force OBDII Protocol”section.
M
MP PG G A Ac cc cu ur ra ac cy y
For best results, UltraGauge should be calibrated for both distance measurements and fuel measurement. See the following section:
“Vehicle Calibration”. Diesel vehicles must perform fuel calibration otherwise MPG and fuel gauges will be dramatically
inaccurate. Vehicles which use a Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor instead of a Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor should also
see the following section: “VE Enable (MAP only)”and “VE RPM (MAP only)”.
To determine which sensor your vehicle uses refer to the Vehicle Information section.

When the UltraGauge
B
Bl lu ue e
TM Adapter is connected to the OBDII connector it begins scanning for the protocol supported. Once
found, the UltraGauge
B
Bl lu ue e
TM Mobile Application then discovers the available gauges. There are two discovery modes: Enhanced &
Safe. By default Enhanced is selected and recommended. By selecting Settings UltraGauge Settings Safe Mode Gauge
Discovery, you may enable Safe Mode. UltraGauge will use the chosen mode for all future gauge discoveries (regardless of the
vehicle connected).

During de-acceleration, many vehicle manufacturers will turn off the fuel injectors to save fuel. UltraGauge
B
Bl lu ue e
TM can detect this
and factor it into the fuel usage calculations. Injector Cutoff will likely not have a noticeable effect on mileage results. By default
this feature is disabled. See the “Injector Cutoff”section for more information. This feature is not supported on Diesel vehicles.

The UltraGauge
B
Bl lu ue e
TM Adapter can be moved from vehicle to vehicle. It will scan and detect the protocol of the target vehicle along
with a unique tag to identify the vehicle (this tag will be the VIN number if the reading the VIN is supported on this vehicle).
UltraGauge
B
Bl lu ue e
TM accumulates distance and fuel usage data per vehicle.
UltraGauge
B
Bl lu ue e
TM will persistently store data for a single main vehicle. This includes both gathered data (like run time and distance)
as well as vehicle specific configuration (such as distance calibration). This allows for:
Storing persistent info for your main Vehicle
Using UltraGauge
B
Bl lu ue e
TM to troubleshoot other vehicles. This could be for things like reading trouble codes or checking out
emissions readiness on another vehicle
How it works
When the UltraGauge
B
Bl lu ue e
TM Adapter powers up, it will read the vehicle’s unique Tag and do the following:
If the Tag corresponds to the main stored configuration, UltraGauge
B
Bl lu ue e
TM will load the stored data and start.
If the Tag does not exist on UltraGauge
B
Bl lu ue e
TM,
oAnd if there has never been a tag stored, it will store this Tag as the unique Tag for the main vehicle, and start.
oAnd there is another Tag already stored as the main vehicle, it will start running without loading the stored
data. This allows all UltraGauge information to be valid for the current ignition cycle. However, this info will
not be stored persistently unless the user selects the current vehicle as the main vehicle from the UltraGauge
Application.
Note: The UltraGauge
B
Bl lu ue e
TM Mobile Application will allow you to view the main vehicle and current running vehicle
(running vehicle shown if different than main vehicle) and specify which vehicle will be stored as the main vehicle. If
no vehicle has been specified as the main vehicle, then the first vehicle discovered will become the main vehicle.
This allows 1 vehicle to be persistent (regardless of the Adapter being unplugged from a given vehicle).

The UltraGauge
B
Bl lu ue e
TM Mobile Application can be used to store information for up to 10 vehicles. Whenever the Application
connects to a given Adapter, it will sync up with its data as part of the initialization process.
The Application will also persistently store data unique to a given UltraGauge

TM Adapter.
This allows for offline viewing of things like trouble codes, as well as offline configuration for things like Trip Reset. As mentioned
above, any configuration changes which occur offline will be applied at initialization time when the Mobile Application re-connects
to the UltraGauge
B
