6. Connect the 0-5v analog inputs (optional).
You will see 3 pins above the main
connector on the back of the gauge as shown in
figure 1
. The 2 outer pins connect
to the analog inputs. The center pin is for switched 12v power as described above
and may not be required. The right side pin, when looking at the rear of the
gauge, goes to analog input 1. The left pin is for analog input 2. See
figure 1
.
Included in the gauge packaging is a 3 wire cable that connects here. Once
attached to the gauge, you’ll see that the white wire is for analog 1, the green for
analog 2. These inputs can be used to read the outputs from pressure senders,
A/F ratio analog outputs, 2 or 3 bar MAP sensors, or any voltage up to 5v that you
want to monitor and/or record. You can scale these signals with a menu function
described below.
These inputs are rated for 0-5 volts, with an over-voltage
protection circuit built in. However, running more than 6v into these inputs for
an extended period of time could effect the operation of the entire gauge, and
possible damage it.

Turn vehicle on
. With the key on and engine off, or engine running, the
Interceptor
will power up. While the unit powers up, the “
Interceptor
” and
“
AeroForce
” logo will appear
on the display. This only takes a few seconds.
Please note that dual
Interceptor
units may power up sequentially (one at a time)
and may take up to 15 seconds. When turned on for the first time the
Interceptor
will ask you to enter a list of parameters that will then be available for scan, see
“
Setup
” below in the
Operation
section for more details on this. See page
A1
of
these instructions for the list of parameters supported by the
Interceptor
.
Remember that not all parameters are supported by every
vehicle, so don’t expect
to be able to view them all on the
Interceptor
you install in your vehicle. If the
vehicle
and
the
Interceptor
support the parameter, you will have access to it.
Dual units on vehicles that are powered by the OBD2 port may not power up at
exactly the same time.
OPERATION
1.
SCANNING
. Once the
Interceptor
has been installed, with the vehicle on, you
will see an upper and lower field containing a description and parameter value.
The right button will change the upper parameter field, the left button the lower.
One quick push of the button will toggle to the next parameter. Included in the
list of parameters is instantaneous fuel economy, calculated horsepower, and both
the analog 1 and analog 2 inputs. Fuel economy and horsepower will be available
on only those cars using a Mass Air Flow sensor or a calculated air flow.
2.
MENU
. The menu and its operation have been designed to be intuitive and easy
to use. The following is a list of all the menu selections and their functions.
Pressing both buttons at the same time will take you to a menu screen. Once
here you will see many choices. Use the left button to toggle down to the desired
choice. The current selection will be highlighted. Push the right button to select
this choice and proceed to the associated screen. You will initially see four menu
selections, continuing to scroll down will bring up a new list of 4 more options,
