Manual #650345
The calibration and warning points are set up through the gauge display system. The calibration should be
done in an open area such as an empty parking lot to avoid any external interference.
Only VFD3/3X controls with a plastic case support adding BIM’s.
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 and starting the engine. The
message display should show SETUP.
•
Release SW1.
•
Momentarily press 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.
•
Otherwise, if any other number is shown, press and release SW1 until SETUP is shown.
•
Press and hold SW1 until the speed display shows “ – “ or the message changes.
•
Release SW1. On the VFD3 systems the message display will show the label assigned to the first channel
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.
•
Momentarily press SW1 until the desired channel ID number is shown.
•
Press and hold SW1. The message display will show “LABEL”.
•
Release SW1. The message display will show the label assigned to this channel.
•
The compass label cannot be changed.
•
Press and hold SW1. The message display will show “WARN”.
•
Release SW1. The message display will show “L” followed by the current low warning point or will flash the
temperature warning point.
•
Momentarily press SW1 to change the low warning point to the desired value.
•
Press and hold SW1 until the speed display shows “ – “.
•
Release SW1. The message display will show “N” followed by the current true north offset correction.
•
Momentarily press SW1 to change the true north offset correction to the desired value.
•
Press and hold SW1. The message display will show “CAL”
•
Release SW1. The message display will show either “SKIP” or “BEGIN”.
•
Momentarily press SW1 to change the selection.
•
To end here and skip the compass calibration, press and hold SW1 with “SKIP” displayed.
•
To continue on with the calibration, press and hold SW1 with “BEGIN” displayed.
•
Release SW1. The message display will show “CIRCLE” and the BIM-17 display will show “
C L
”. Begin
slowly driving in a circle in an open area. Drive in at least two slow, complete circles.
•
Momentarily press SW1 to finish and save the compass calibration.
•
The message display will now show “DONE”.
•
This can be repeated for additional channels, or the key can be turned off to exit setup.
