what does the word annunicator mean? on the interceptor gauge?

 

X2^^ mine says its not set when I turn my car on

 

The annouciator is used to tell you if you've reached past a certain peramiter..

I've got mine set up as a REV LIGHT..

When my revs go over 6800 rpm, the two red lights on the top of the gauge come on... really handy.

Just go into the menu of the gauge and go to Announciator Set Up...

 

so basically a shift light? set my rev at 6000 and put it above or below?

 

I have mine set up as a chill light. When its cold, and I start up, it comes up, and goes out when my car is warmed up sufficiently....
I have it set to turn on when Coolant < 100F

 

It depends on how you want it to work.
Most shift lights come ON when your suposed to shift.
Find where you want to shift
Then select RPM for the paramater
Then select your shift RPM
Then Select ABOVE
This means that when you exceed that RPM the light will illuminate.

I have mine set for Coolant, then 100F then Below, so that it comes on when my engine is too cold. Or in my case, after work when its 25F it goes OUT when my engine is warmed up and I can drive home.

 

there are many things you can use it for..

only one at a time.. but many different parameters...

 

best thing to use it for is knock, i have mine set to go red if any knock is detected. Then when im racing at the track i can see right away and back off asap

 

That's why I'm thinkin of going with the dual gauges... So I can keep an eye on knock too!

 

How do you set up knock? Mine is always at 0

 

Add more timing lol. If it's staying at 0 then you are getting no knock.

 

How you set up for coolant? I dont see an option for that

 

K i was just playing around with mine and was going to set it up as a shift light. The lights are lit up until i hit my desired rpm then they shut off. Shouldn't it be the other way around? Is there a way to reverse it?

 

There's an over/under section you have to check off.. lol

you set it "over" and then set your rev mark...

 

Ahhh thats what thats for lol. Thanks man

 

does anyones dim to the point you can't see the numbers anymore? mine does this sometimes..

 

When you go to SETUP in that screen, scroll through and make sure you have a "*" next to COOLANT.... The first three paramaters I belive are IAT IAT2 and Coolant.

Then when you go to your annunciator set up, it will give you a list of paramaters, and it should appear on that list. Select Coolant, on that, and then set your number and pick over or under, Over if you want an overheat light, or under if you want a chill light.

 

You want to select paramater Knock Retard 3

and normal driving you should get 0.0 all the time,
When you really romp / step on it, sometimes itll
jump to 2.whatever and then quickly return to 0. Im told
that's normal. Ive seen mine jump as high as 7.? only for
a fraction of a second.

 

Uh, you might want to get a better tuner if you're seeing 7 degrees of knock. rofl
