When to calibrate a sensor
VDO sensors do not require calibration. The display recognizes them and applies default values. Simply
declare the type and the sensor starts reading the value with good approximation.
For third party sensors or for more accurate readings, calibrate the sensor. Calibration occurs with
subsequent readings (at one or three points) with a wizard.
Configure a sensor without calibrating it
Following is the procedure to configure the sensors connected to resistive, voltage and current inputs
without calibrating them:
1. Press the MENU button and select SENSOR CONFIG .
2. Use Engine 1 connector or Engine 2 connector to select the connector to which the sensor is
connected.
3. Select the input connected to the sensor (i.e. Resistive pin 8 ): "Off" appears to indicate that no
sensor is linked to the input or was disabled.
4. Select Off : sensor types appear
5. Select the sensor type: configuration parameters appear.
6. Select
Show value as , then select the ID to be assigned to the engine/tank connected to the
sensor.
7. Hold down the MENU button to return to the last data page displayed. The sensor is now enabled.
Since not manually calibrated, the default calibration values will be applied.
