While holding Switch 1, press and hold Switch 4.

With Switch 4 held down, you will see the display revert to the current values. The new peak values that are stored
are those being displayed when you release Switch 4. If the engine is running below its gate value, the peak values
are not reset to the current values but are set to the following values:
Parameter
New Peak Value
Engine Speed (RPM)
0 RPM
Cylinder Head Temperature
0 Degrees C or F
Water Temperature
0 Degrees C or F
Exhaust Gas Temperature
0 Degrees C or F
Battery Voltage
26.0V
Wheel Speed
0 MPH or 0 km/h
Peak Value Memory
The peak values are stored in a memory which is powered by an internal back-up battery. They remain stored in this memory when the
external power source is disconnected from the system. The internal battery needs to be changed every 4-5 years. An alarm is
triggered when the power from this battery drops below a safe level and the warning "MEM BATT" is displayed.
Alarms
The
Dash-2
Kart Logger has built-in warnings to alert the driver when certain parameters either exceed or fall below their alarm
values You can adjust the preset alarm levels when you configure the
Dash-2
Kart Logger. See Section 4,
Configuring the Dash-2
Kart Logger
in this manual.
Some of the warnings (see the following table) are triggered only while the engine speed exceeds its "gate value" for RPM for at least
one second. Blipping the engine may not be enough to trigger a warning. The gate value is a predefined RPM value that is used to control
when the system is to trigger a warning. This is to prevent abnormal warnings from being triggered when, for example, the engine is
either not running, is idling, or is being warmed up.
The
Dash-2
Kart Logger has the following built-in alarms:
