OPERATION
The TACHPLUS+ displays crucial engine information to the pump operator. The
audible alarm is a clear distinctive warning that sounds when a monitored input exceeds
normal parameters. Visual warnings for the two LED displays will flash to indicate
warnings visually to the pump operator.
The Message Display will show all warning messages or other requested
information.
Message Mode Operation
There are two buttons on the TachPlus: a
MODE
and a
SILENCE
button. In
message mode, system messages are shown in the message display. To enter message
mode, press the
MODE
button. Every push of the
MODE
button displays the next
message. Each message remains in the window until the
MODE
button is pressed
again. If there is any warning, the message will be shown in the message display in 10
second intervals. This message will flash to indicate that it is a warning. Press the
SILENCE
button to return to the normal display. Once exiting the message mode,
pressing the
MODE
button again will show the last displayed message.
To scroll through the messages, press and hold the
MODE
button and press the
SILENCE
button. In scroll mode, the display will continuously scroll through all
messages available. If there is any warning, it will be added to the bank of scrolling
messages every 10 seconds. The warning message will flash to alert the operator.
Pressing the
SILENCE
button will bring the display back to the normal mode.
Visual Alarm
Whenever there is a monitored failure or problem, the visual alarm will be activated.
This alarm cannot be reset or cancelled manually. The alarm will stop automatically
when the problem has been taken care of.
Audiable Alarm
The Tachplus has a very unique sound feature. The Audible Status Warning System
gives a short clear distinctive signal as the pump is engaged. It sounds continuously if
there is a monitored failure such as low oil pressure or high engine temperature. It
sounds a dual burst for low fuel warning.
Silencing Audible Alarm
All audible alarms can be cancelled by pressing the
SILENCE
button. Pressing
the
SILENCE
button for 2 seconds turns the buzzer or audible warning off. Pressing
it for 2 seconds again will reactivate the audible warning. Pressing the
SILENCE
button will not change the visual warning.
