4 LED (towards the right as you are looking at that end of the module). Plug the power supply into a household outlet: 3) Plug the USB end of the cable into the PC s USB port. The first time using the programmer there will be a delay while Windows installs the driver. Note that the drivers are on the installation CD. The CD must be installed when first using the USB port. 4) Start the program by double-clicking its icon. 5) 4743 Program Attributes window will display. 6) Under Gauge Type, select the gauge type you are working with. Within EV2 choices the differences are in the default programming for the Dimmer Max and Dimmer Min values, to match the factory backlighting for the particular truck. See also notes A & B on last page. 7) Under Description, select the specific gauge you are working with, such as Turbo Boost 100 psi. Once you make this selection then the default values for this gauge will show in the adjustment windows. 8) Sealed/Unsealed switch - EV2 only, select whether gauges are sealed or standard (unsealed). 9) Dimmer/Backlight EV2 only, these are the values for dimmer circuit input to the gauge at Form No. IS204 (07/15/2016 Rev. H) Page 4 of 7

5 the maximum and minimum light output conditions. Note that the max values are typically higher than actual vehicle voltages, which is necessary to match the factory backlight levels. These values may be adjusted to get the gauge brightness to perfectly match the factory dash at various brightness levels, but otherwise should be left at default values. To adjust the values, set the Dimmer Min to match the voltage of the dimmer circuit when the factory dash turns off or is at a minimum. If the gauges are too bright with the dimmer adjusted at maximum then set the Dimmer Max value higher than its default value. The Dimmer Max may be set as high as 25.5V on gauges prior to D323, and may be set as high as 102V on gauges after D323. If the Dimmer Max is set higher than 25.5V on gauges earlier than D323, the gauge will not program properly. 10) Alarm Lamp Output Direction toggle switch to define if the warning light comes on above a maximum level or below a minimum level. Maximum level values are used for pyrometers and most other gauges, but minimum levels are frequently used for Oil Pressure and Fuel Pressure. 11) Alarm Lamp Warning Level the set point at which the alarm turns on. This may be set by rotating the knob with the mouse pointer, or clicking in the window below the knob and typing in an exact number. 12) Output Module Warning Level Same functionality as Alarm Lamp adjustments but for switching points on optional output module (P/N R82006). Only used with gauges S/N F19 and later, with earlier S/N gauges the output direction switch must be selected down in the Output turns ON when Pointer goes LOW position to prevent improper gauge operation. NOTE: When used with pressure gauges and a high level warning (switching the module as the pressure rises), if the pressure rises slowly, rapid on-off switching of the module may occur as it passes the programmed level. a) 15 Sec Delay at Startup only used on gauges S/N F288 and later. Set this switch high to ignore the Output Module activation point for the first 15 seconds of gauge operation. Useful for applications such as switching based on oil pressure or fuel pressure which is low at start. b) Delay (sec) on Activation - only used on gauges S/N F288 and later. Selects a minimum period of time which the Output Module activation condition must be present before the module is activated. 13) Test Mode EV2 only, used to confirm the alarm and output module value and direction settings: a) After selecting your values for the alarm level and direction, make sure the switch for Test Mode is up, and then press the Program Part button. It will change color briefly then return to the original color. b) Sealed only: a. A few seconds after programming the gauge should begin cycling through its full range of values, with the warning light turning on at the selected point. b. If the gauge is NOT working as intended, check/reset the value in question, and repeat step 13a. c. If the gauge IS working as intended, click the Test Mode switch to the down position to Normal Mode, then click on the Program Part button. d. Unplug the programmer connector from the gauge, reinstall gauge in the vehicle, and confirm correct gauge functionality. Form No. IS204 (07/15/2016 Rev. H) Page 5 of 7

6 c) Unsealed only: a. Unplug the programmer connector from the gauge, then plug the vehicle s orange gauge harness connector back into the gauge and turn on power. The gauge should begin cycling through its full range of values, with the warning light turning on and the output module switching at the selected points. b. If the gauge is NOT working as intended, unplug the gauge from the vehicle, plug the programmer connector back in to the gauge, check/reset the value in question, and repeat step 13a. c. If the gauge IS working as intended, unplug the gauge from the vehicle, plug the programmer connector back in to the gauge, click the Test Mode switch to the down position to Normal Mode, then click on the Program Part button. d. Unplug the programmer connector from the gauge, reinstall gauge in the vehicle, and confirm correct gauge functionality. 14) Pointer Position Performax only, used to confirm the alarm value and direction setting. After selecting your values for the alarm level and direction, press the Program Part button then simply move the rotary knob or enter a specific value in the box below the knob, the gauge will move to that value and the warning light should illuminate per its programming. 15) Reset to Default Values press this button if you would like to set all parameters to default, then follow steps 12a-12d. 16) Advanced this switch reveals advanced programming functions. Note: Some setting may affect the operation and/ or accuracy of the gauge. Use the new settings cautiously. If in doubt, the factory settings can be restored by pressing the Reset to Default Values button. a) Degrees Sweep Angular degrees of sweep between min and max positions on the gauge. b) Sensor Scan Rate the period in milliseconds for each cycle of scanning the sensor. Set to 250 for most gauges, or 100 for certain fuel pressure gauges. c) Hysteresis a setting of 0-255, defining the minimum change in the measured value necessary for movement of the pointer. A higher value will cause the pointer to remain steadier with small oscillations in values, but it will move more when it does finally move. d) Weight 0.01 to 1.0, with lower numbers giving more filtering to the pointer (i.e., slower but smoother response). 17) Stop button press this button at any time to stop programming.

Advanced Adjustments screen Note A: Certain older EV2 gauges (S/N earlier than B333, which would not have the warning light preinstalled) will not accept any programming using this software.

7 Advanced Adjustments screen Note A: Certain older EV2 gauges (S/N earlier than B333, which would not have the warning light preinstalled) will not accept any programming using this software. Gauges with S/N B334 through C90 will work with this software but do not have warning lights. If you have an older gauge without warning lights and would like to use this software, or to make any other adjustments, you can return the gauge to ISSPRO for a nominal fee for an upgrade. To check if a gauge has a preinstalled warning light, simply watch the bottom of the face dial (6 o clock position) when powering up the gauge, if the warning LED is installed it will briefly light up red during start-up. Note B: Application of Output Module only available in EV2 gauges S/N F19 and later. S/N F288 and later necessary for Output Module Activation and Startup Delays, and use with wide pointers on R30000 and R32000 series EV2 gauges. Wide pointers require selecting 4 th Gen Dodge or Jetta gauge type. Form No. IS204 (07/15/2016 Rev. H) Page 7 of 7
