Controls and Indicators

All controls and indicators are located on the front of the control module. (Refer

to Figure 1.)

PUMP DISCHARGE

and

PUMP INTAKE

Displays

Shows the pump discharge and intake pressure during normal operations and codes

during programming.

MODE

Button

Selects the pressure or RPM mode of operation.

RPM

LED

The red LED is on to indicate operation in the RPM mode.

PRESSURE

LED

The amber LED is on to indicate operation in the pressure mode.

IDLE

Button

When pressed immediately sets the engine RPM to idle. This button can be used

in an emergency or for normal shut down after operations.

PRESET

Button

Press to change/select a pre-programmed value for pressure or RPM setting.

INC

DEC

Buttons

During operations the buttons increase and decrease pressure or RPM setting.

VOLTS

LED Display

Shows battery voltage safe range with green LEDs. The LEDs flash red when the

voltage is outside normal limits.

TRANS.°

LED Display

Shows transmission temperature safe range with green LEDs. The LEDs flash red

when the temperature is high.

ENG.°

LED Display

Shows engine coolant temperature safe range with green LEDs. The LEDs flash

red when the temperature is high.

OIL

LED Display

Shows engine oil pressure safe range with green LEDs. The LEDs flash red when

the pressure is low.
