Displaying the Peak Values 

Press and hold the

 PEAK 

button

 

on the remote control to show the peak values 

for the parameters currently being displayed.  
The display changes, to show “PEAKS” instead of “STACK” while you are in this 
mode. 
Release the switch to return to the normal display. 
 

Resetting the Peak Values 

 

 

Peak values are reset automatically on a recorder with a LAN-C port, 
when recording starts. On other types of recorder, you will need to 
reset the peak values manually. 

 
To reset the peak values hold down the PEAK button on the Remote Control 
Unit and press RECORD. All peak values are reset at the same time. 
 If the engine is running 

at

 or 

above

 its Gate RPM Value (see Chapter 3 – 

Configuration) when the peak values are reset, they are set to the current value 
of each parameter. 
If the engine is running 

below

 its Gate RPM Value, the peak values are not 

reset to the current values but are set to the values shown in Table 5 instead:
