Troubleshooting
The following are explanations to some commonly asked questions.
What are those letters on the side of my display?
There are five annunciators that may be displayed on the left side of your display.
(see Fig. 9) The most common ones represent the engine function being displayed
at that time:
CHT
stands for Cylinder Head Temperature
EGT
stands for Exhaust Gas Temperature
RPM
stands for Revolutions per Minute, also called Tach
There are a couple other annunciators that do not stand for engine functions.
PRS stands for PReviouSly recorded data and signifies that the instrument is in
either Laps or Playback mode.
ERR stands for Error and could mean that your instrument has encountered
extreme electrical interference. This can ruin the recorded information and possibly
cause the instrument to reprogram it’s limits and calibration values.
Why am I getting no lap times or intermittent lap times?
1. Tach Signal: Make sure your Tach sensor is properly installed and picking up
a strong signal. If it is not, spiral the colored wire down the spark plug wire.
2. Short or no lap times are often caused by beacon transmitter problems. Make
sure the beacon transmitter is turned on and that the batteries are not low.
• Make sure the beacon transmitter is still on the track.
• If these do not resolve your problem, read the section about transmitters on
pages 13-14.
3. Check that the last number set in Set Limits (Appendix B) is an appropriate
number for this track. This number is the minimum time (in seconds) for you
to complete a lap. During this time, the instrument will ignore multiple beacon
signals. After the number of seconds has passed the instrument will register
the next beacon signal it receives and then begins ignoring again. The instrument
will record inaccurate lap times if this number is set higher than the lap time
for the current track.
• Make sure the instrument’s batteries are not low.
• Review page 6 for information about how the instrument begins recording.
