Users Guide: iMFD User Guide 2.4 Navigating the Menu System *DM-100 OBD II states are identical to DM-200 OBD II 8 Version 1.0 Jan 1, 2008 www.plxdevices.
Users Guide: iMFD User Guide *DM-100 OBD II Sensor Mode is similar to DM-200 OBD II 3 Hardware 3.1 Connecting Power Option 1: Using the Cigarette Lighter Power This option is ideal if your cigarette lighter power is only ON when your ignition key is turned. In some vehicles, your cigarette lighter power is always ON. Leaving your DM-100 OBDII unit always powered on, will drain your vehicle’s battery quickly. If this is the case for your vehicle, we recommend option 2. Plug the 2.
Users Guide: iMFD User Guide The DM-100 OBDII accepts 12-18V DC for power. Connect the negative wire (black) to your vehicle’s ground. This is usually the negative terminal of your automobile’s battery. Connect the positive wire (red) to your vehicle’s ignition power. This power is only supplied when your key is turned passed a specific position and is off when your key is removed. Your power connection must be capable of supplying at least 1 amp of current. A 5 Amp fuse is recommended for safety.
Users Guide: iMFD User Guide If you have more Display Modules, such as the DM-100, DM-200, DM-5 AFR, DM-5 EGT, and etc. Simply connect them to the left of the DM-100/200 in the above diagram. 3.3 Programmable SM-OBDII Your DM-100 OBDII essentially is two products in one. It combines a DM-100 and 4 programmable SM-OBDII module into one product. 3.3.1 Terminated There are 2 options, Terminated and NOT Terminated.
Users Guide: iMFD User Guide 3.3.2 Data Polling Data Polling means that the SM-OBD “gets” an updated value from the vehicle’s ECU (Engine Control Unit). You can choose to turn ON or OFF Data Polling for Sensors 1,2,3,4. The more sensors you have set to ON, the slower the refresh rate will be. It is recommended that you turn on data polling only on sensors you wish to monitor, thus maximizing performance. By default, your unit comes preprogrammed with only sensor 1 data polling ON.

Users Guide: iMFD User Guide Use the “UP” button to toggle through all the available sensors. Some sensors will have several units of measurements available. For example, a fluid temperature sensor will give you the choice if you want to show degrees Fahrenheit “Fah” or degrees Celsius “Cel.” If you have several of the same sensor modules connected in the iMFD daisy chain. For example, if you have two SM-EGTs in the chain, you will see EGT0 and EGT1 available.
Users Guide: iMFD User Guide 4 Standard Gauges 4.1 Analog Gauges (Graphical) Analog gauges represent sensor data the same way a typical needle gauges does. By pressing “LEFTRIGHT” toggles between parameter 1,2,3 and 4 (respectively). Pressing the “DOWN” button toggles to digital gauges. 4.2 Digital Gauges (Numeric) Digital gauges represent sensor data in large numeric form. This is ideal in race applications where visibility is crucial.
Users Guide: iMFD User Guide 4.4 Four Parameter Gauges 4 parameter gauges represent sensor data by showing all 4 parameters simultaneously on the same screen. This is ideal in applications where you want to view multiple sensors or compare sensor readings side by side. Pressing “RIGHT” or “LEFT” toggles to peak and hold. Pressing the “DOWN” button toggles to custom gauges. Pressing “UP” toggles to plot gauges (parameter 1). 4.
Users Guide: iMFD User Guide For standard users: Please visit our online custom gauge database located here http://www.plxdevices.com/products/dm100/customgauges.html You will need to install the USB device drivers and the DM-100/200 Utility before you can upload your custom gauge. The files are located here http://www.plxdevices.com/products/dm100/utility.htm For advanced users: This option is not recommended unless you have experience with graphic design.

Users Guide: iMFD User Guide 7.2 Connect to PC The DM-100 must be in this menu for the PC to communicate with the device. Toggle to this menu if you want to upload wallpapers, custom gauge, and/or update your sensor table. 7.3 Warnings The DM-100 can monitor up to 4 parameters for warnings. The DM-100 monitors 4 parameters simultaneously and evaluates if any trigger points have been exceeded.
Users Guide: iMFD User Guide What will happen if the scheme is set to P1 & P2? This means that if Parameter 1 is TRUE AND Parameter 2 is TRUE, a warning will trigger. Since Parameter 1 is FALSE, a warning will not trigger. Parameter 3 and 4 are ignored. What will happen if the scheme is set to P1 | P2 | P3 | P4? This means that if any parameter 1-4 is TRUE, a warning will trigger. For this example, a warning will trigger.
