Alarms can be set for every gauge. Alarms may also be optionally enabled for newly posted trouble codes and pending trouble codes.
Each gauge can have a high and low alarm. Each Low and High Alarm can individually be enabled and the value of each high and low
alarm threshold can be individually set. UltraGauge continually compares real-time gauge values to each of the alarm values. If the
real-time value is greater than the high alarm or less than the low alarm, an alarm is initiated. The Alarm is both audible and visual. The
audible portion of the alarm may be disabled if so desired. Alarms as a whole can also be disabled. During an alarm, the alarm may be
suspended by pressing the DOWN key. Once suspended, the alarm for that specific gauge will no longer trigger. However, the
suspended alarm will be again be enabled when the ignition is switched from RUN to OFF.

Alarms ..
Set Gauge Alarms ..
Each Gauge has both a Min and Max Alarm. For example, a temperature gauge has both a high temperature alarm and a low
temperature alarm. Whenever the alarm value is exceeded the alarms sounds. Each alarm can be individually enable or disabled
and the value for that alarm can be set. By default many of the alarms are enabled and factory default values are set.
On the last row of each alarm is a value that represents the extreme limits for that particular gauge.
To set or enable an alarm:
1.
select
MENU
Alarms ..

3.
While the cursor is positioned next to the desired gauge, Press
MENU.
This will show the alarm screen for that gauge, as
shown below.
4.

it.

Alarm Siren Freq
Allows the frequency of the alarm siren to be adjusted. By default the frequency of the siren is set to 4450 Hz. This typically
represents the optimal frequency for maximizing volume and clarity. The frequency can be adjusted from 3000-5000Hz. Set the
frequency to a value that is best suited for your hearing.
