FG-EBOOST-

40/60

 

2j. Wiring 

 
-

 

The e-Boost must be connected to a 12 volt negative earth electrical system. 

-

 

All electrical connections must be soldered. 

-

 

Refer to the following table and diagram for detail on wiring the e-Boost.

3. BASIC OPERATION 

 

3a. Live Mode 

When the e-Boost is powered up it will automatically go to 

Live

 

Mode

. In this 

Mode

 the readout and bar graph will display accurate 

Live

 boost 

or vacuum readings. In 

Live

 

Mode

 you can change between three boost pressure settings called boost set points. These appear on the readout 

as SP1, SP2 and SP3, refer to section 4d for detail. When the e-Boost is powered up it always defaults to SP1. To change between the boost set 
points simply press the up or down arrow, the set point will be displayed for one second and then the readout will return to 

Live

 boost or vacuum 

readings.  
 

3b. Boost Pressure 

Boost pressures are set by entering a number in each of the three the boost set points, see section 4d for more detail. To view the boost set 
point value in 

Live

 

Mode

 press the 

Mode

 button momentarily. Press the up or down arrows to view the three different boost set point values, i.e. 

SP1, SP2 or SP3. Press the 

Mode

 button twice to return to 

Live

 

Mode

. Note the boost set point value that was last viewed will be active. 

 

3c. Boost Parameters 

To  access  the 

boost  parameter  menu

  press  and  hold  the 

Mode

  button  and  the 

down  arrow

  simultaneously.  The  readout  will  begin  to  flash 

between the selected parameter and its value, scroll up or down to the parameter you want to edit. Press and hold the 

Mode

 button for two 

seconds and the parameter will begin to flash. To change the value of the parameter press the up or down arrow until the desired value appears 
on the readout. To store this value press the 

Mode

 button momentarily. To exit the boost parameter menu press the 

Mode

 button again, the e-

Boost will display END as confirmation of exiting the boost parameter menu. This will return you to 

Live

 

Mode
