For VFD3, VFD3X, and VHX systems follow these steps: 

 

Make sure the BIM units are all connected to the gauge control box with the 3.5mm data cables. 

 

Hold the SW1 switch from the gauge system control box while turning the key on.  The message display

Press and release SW1 until BIM is shown on the message display. 

 

Press and hold SW1.  The message display should show SCAN followed by the number of BIM channels 
detected.  Release SW1. 

 

If 0 is shown, check all connections and then press and hold SW1 with SCAN shown to retry reading the 
modules.

found and the speed display will show “C” followed by the channel ID number.  On the VHX systems the 
message display will show “CH” followed by the channel ID number on one line and the label currently 
assigned on the second line. 

 

Press and release SW1 until the desired channel ID number is shown. 

 

Press and hold SW1.  The message display will show “LABEL”.
