MAN# 650814
For ease of use and quick access to the messages configured and displayed in the Message
Center(s) when the GRAFIX is in
‘Normal Operation’, the user can simply rotate and tap the Control
Knob to navigate through the messages in order to change the Message Group that is displayed, or
the user can rotate the knob to select a specific Message Area item for clearing the previously
captured data.
Note:
‘Normal Operation’ is when there are: no warnings, no menu box, and no ‘red’ Message
Areas on the GRAFIX Instrument Cluster. The Message Center
’s line items must be clearly
visible as seen in the pictures above.
If a Message Area is ‘red’ with a warning or information
as described below, access to the Message Center is not allowed.
Also worth noting, some GRAFIX systems may have two (or more) Message Centers, so the
‘base’ Message Center is typically found on the TFT on the Instrument Cluster where the menu
box is displayed, and the
‘base’ Message Center by default is typically programed at the
factory to include the odometer and Trip A readings in Message Group A.
Change Message Center Group
:
•
In normal operation (no warnings, no menu box displayed, and no red Message Areas), rotate
the Control Knob until all Message Areas are highlighted, i.e. a graphical box is seen around
each Message Area line item. (see diagram above)
•
With a
‘graphical box’ around all Message Areas, tap the Control Knob to cycle through all of
the Message Groups that are configured for the system. See SYSTEM-LAYOUTS-
LAYOUT<X>-MSG GROUPS-GROUP MAX for details on Message Group setup.
•
By stoppin
g the ‘tap’ on a particular highlighted Message Group (MSG GROUP), this group will
be selected to remain in the Message Area during
‘normal operation’. Turn the Control Knob
until all highlighted boxes around all Message Areas are gone. If the Control Knob is not
turned, the highlight boxes will clear automatically in approximately 4 seconds, and the
displayed/selected Message Group will remain.
Clearing Message Area Line Item:
•
Rotate the Control Knob until a single message is highlighted. By being able to be highlighted
separately, this indicates the Message Area line item can be cleared, such as TRIP A mileage,
TIMER, 1/4 MILE speed and time, etc. Hold the knob in to clear the item.
•
To clear a Message Area warning, hold the Control Knob in when a Message Area item is
selected (selected = has a graphical box around area).
‘HOLD TO CLR’ will pop up in that
message area along with a progress bar that will increase to the right. Hold the knob in, until
the bar moves completely to the right, and the reading will be cleared. Release the knob.
Note: If the Message Area is configured to display the odometer or a system reading
such as Volts, Fuel, etc., these cannot be highlighted individually as they cannot be
cleared by the user.
Warning Area Message:
•
When a system reading that is not configured to be monitored in the Message Area goes in to
a warning condition, the top Message Area of the
‘base’ Message Center will indicate the
warning. This warning can be cleared by holding the Control Knob in - as described in
Clearing Message Areas above.
•
If the reading is configured to be monitored in a Message Area and a warning occurs for that
reading; that Message Area will turn red, but cannot be selected and cleared. It will only be
cleared when proper corrective action is taken.
