Porkie, first you need to access the gauge menu system. You do that by holding down the red button and then switching the ignotion on.

Now that you reached the menu system you navigate the options by tapping the read button. When you reached a option you would like to change you hold the button down for a while.

Quick tap = next option
Long tap = change current option

Example:

First option that comes up when you access the menu system will look like this on the display:

bl
on

This controls the gauge backlighting, hold the red button to switch it on or off.


Next menu option is:

rt
PE

This resets the gauge stored peak values, hold the button to reset.

When you are done just switch igniton off. Sometimes you cant access the next option after changing another so you might have to switch off and access the menu system again.

For more information RTFM.

well if your using the temp for ACT then you need to screw both sensors into the plenum tap the plenum for the sensors.

1/8NPT Temp
1/8BSP Press

you need to use the dowty seal provided with the pressure sensor and PTFE tape with the Temp sensor as its tapered


Once the sensors are in just wire up the gauge
Red to 12v accessory switched feed and black as directly to chassis as possible (not to loom earth)

Thats about it i think

Seans coming down to stay this weekend... he will be in my house on own his own as I will be at my mums

Also Andreas thanks for the instructions, I printed em and will be using that I can't read the manuals as Martin fitted the gauges and therefore he would have lost the instructions
