Resetting Data in MeterMatch
If you would like to reset the MeterMatch back to factory defaults: (1) remove power from the unit, (2)
set the rotary switch
Ѳ
to zero, (3) press and hold the Save button, and finally (4) reapply power to
the unit and wait until the power-up LED flashes, indicating that power-up is complete.
Early Ford/Mopar Gauges with Mechanical Regulators
If you are controlling a gauge that is powered by a mechanical voltage regulator in the dash panel
(such as early Ford and Chrysler products), you can reset the MeterMatch to near-correct values by
performing the reset operation: (1) power off, (2) setting the rotary switch
Ѳ
to seven, (3) holding
down the Save button and finally (4) applying power until the LED blinks. This will also turn on
Voltage Correction which is necessary when using a vibrator-type instrument voltage regulator.
If you have an electronic regulator in your vehicle, Voltage Correction should be turned off. You can
set to near-correct values for Ford/Mopar gauges with electronic regulators by resetting the
MeterMatch exactly as above, but hold both the Save and Up buttons down, rather than just the
Save button.
Both Ford/Mopar resets populate switch settings 1, 2, and 4. 2 is for ½ tank
Voltage Correction
Most gauges are connected to a voltage regulator in the instrument wiring so that they get a constant
voltage whether the engine is running or not. However, if this is not the case, when you calibrate your
gauge at one voltage (for example, engine not running, battery at +12.5V), then start the vehicle and
the voltage rises (for example to +13.8V), the gauge reading might change significantly. If you run
into this, MeterMatch has an automatic voltage correction feature that corrects the reading for
different voltages. To enable this feature: (1) remove power from the MeterMatch, (2) set the rotary
switch
Ѳ
to position "0" (normal operating), then (3) press and hold the Up button while applying
power to the MeterMatch. Hold it until the LED blinks after power is applied. MeterMatch will
remember this setting in future use. If you wish to remove the voltage correction feature, repeat the
same process, but hold the Dn button rather than the Up button. Note that if you change this setting,
the gauge may need to be recalibrated with the new setting.
Reading Averaging
In the default mode, the MeterMatch averages readings to make the needle move more slowly. This
is not necessary on older, slower-responding gauges, but can come into play with more modern
gauges that have less internal dampening. This feature can be turned on and off with a power-up
sequence: (1) remove power from the unit, (2) set the rotary switch
Ѳ
to seven, (3) press and hold
the Save and Dn buttons, and finally (4) reapply power to the unit and wait until the power-up LED
flashes, indicating that power-up is complete. Each time you do this, it will toggle reading averaging
between off and on.
