Configuration
The configuration mode allows the user to set
various operating parameters and modes of the
GEM. These include such choices as imperial or
metric units, scale limits for the speedometer
gauges, engine service interval etc.
The configuration menu is entered by pressing and
holding key #5 (the blue key) for at least 3 seconds
when the GEM is in its normal operating mode.
The top-level configuration menu will be displayed
on the LCD, as shown below.
Keys #1 and #2 allow the operator to move up and
down the menu whilst key #4 enters the high-
lighted menu item. Key #5 exits the configuration
menu and saves all configuration data into non-
volatile memory.
The SETTINGS sub-menu allows the GEM to be
configured according to the user’s preferences
whilst SYSTEM accesses maintenance and low-
level system configuration settings.
Selecting UNITS from the SET-
TINGS sub-menu gives access
to five parameters which can
be displayed in units selected
from a list. Use the up and
down keys (key #1 and key #2)
to select the required parame-
ter, then press key #4 to cycle
through the permitted units of measurement.
Pressing key #5 returns the user to the main SET-
TINGS menu.
The LANGUAGE sub-
menu allows the user to
select which language
GEM uses to display mes-
sages and prompts. Use
the up and down keys (key
#1 and key #2) to high-
light the required language
and then press key #4 to select it. Pressing key #5
returns the user to the main SETTINGS menu.
BLEEP selects whether each key press is ac-
knowledged with an audible bleep. Note that, even
with BLEEP switched off, the audible alarm will still
sound if an alarm condition occurs.
The DISPLAY sub-menu
allows the user to define
the maximum rpm shown
on the tachometer, the
maximum speed shown on
the speedometer and the
speed with which the dis-
play scrolls when using GEM in the graph display
mode.
SERVICE allows the user
to set the engine service
interval so that the GEM
can, on power-up, remind
the operator when a ser-
vice becomes due.
DEMO, the first item on the SYSTEM menu, allows
the GEM to run in a demonstration mode, showing
its capabilities even if not connected to a valid
engine data stream. There are three different
demo modes. DEMO 1 has speed data simulated
by the GEM, DEMO 2 does not generate simulated
speed data, and DEMO 3 simulates various alarm
conditions. For normal use, the demo mode must
be switched to OFF.
RESTORE DEFAULTS allows the user to reset all
configuration data to the factory defaults. The user
may select either metric or imperial units: the de-
fault values for each are shown below.
