mark. This will select the custom sender.
5. Remove power from the gauge to enter custom calibration mode.
6. Re-apply power to the gauge, the pointer will move to a position just
below the empty mark, indicating that the empty calibration point can
be entered.
7. With an empty or nearly empty tank, capture the empty calibration
point by momentarily (less than one second) pushing the “A” button.
After approximately 1 second, the pointer will move to just above the
full mark.
8. Fill the tank and momentarily (less than one second) press “B” button
to capture the full calibration point. After approximately one second,
the gauge will reset, and begin reading fuel level per the custom
calibration.
9. Confirm that the gauge reads the proper fuel level.
10. If proper fuel level is not read, return to step 2 and recalibrate.
Sender Error
If no sender is connected, the pointer will move to the empty position indicating an error. Approximately 4 seconds after the sender is connected,
the pointer will move to the indicated fuel level and will resume normal operation.

Pro Control Active States
The active region for Pro Control outputs are user configurable. For example,
consider a pressure gauge with a low warning set point at 20 PSI. The gauge
can be configured so the associated Pro Control output is active when the
pointer falls below the set point [less than 20 PSI] (active low) OR when the
pointer is beyond the set point [greater than 20 PSI] (active high). Likewise,
consider a pressure gauge with high warning set point at 95 PSI. Again, the
gauge can be configured so the associated Pro Control is active when the
pointer falls below the set point [less than 95 PSI] (active low) OR when the
pointer progresses beyond the set point [greater than 95 PSI] (active high).
To change the active state:
With power off, press and hold the B button. Apply power to the gauge.
Release the B button. Press and release the A button. The gauge is now in
Active State Set Mode. The pointer will point straight up at the value in the
top center of the dial. Press and release the A button to toggle back and
forth between the low and high warning point active state modes. Doing so
will cause the dial to change back and forth between green and red. When
setting the low warning active state the dial face will be green. When setting
the high warning active state the dial face will be red.
Once the designated warning mode is selected (green or red) press and hold
the A button to toggle between active high and active low. As you hold the
button the pointer will continuously sweep from the left of center and to the
right of center pausing at each side. Left of center is active low and right of
center is active high. Release the A button when the pointer is in the position
of the desired active state. Once you have selected the desired state, don’t
press any buttons for about three seconds. The dial will flicker white several
times to indicate the desired setting has been saved and the gauge will return
to normal operation with your new state selection. State selections are saved
when power is off.
NOTE: The Pro Control Active State does not affect the color of each dial region.
Pro Control
The Pro Control feature activates a switched ground output at a user defined set point. Pro Control can be used to switch on a relay to activate
ignition kill, cooling fans, lamps, alarms, etc. The set points define three regions on the gauge dial, the region below the low set point, between the
set points, and above the high set point.
