02 (setting fuel sensor) You can set the fuel sensor type that is connected to this meter. 1. Turn the engine off and the engine start switch to ON. 03 (setting correction value) You can calibrate the displayed fuel flow value within –7 to +7 percent. The difference in the fuel consumption display and the actual fuel consumption is calibrated. 2. (4 seconds): To activate the custom mode. 3. (1 second): To switch between the setting function numbers and to switch to the change settings display. 4.
03 (setting correction value) NOTE: • The fuel flow display may differ depending on the operating conditions. • When the fuel flow calibration value is changed, the FLOW, TTL, and ECON displays are shown calibrated.
Activating for the first time/Setting the initial settings 3. Setting up the meters Activating for the first time To install the meters and the optional sensors and to connect the meters to the engine, see the “Command Link Multifunction Meter Installation Manual.” Be sure to follow the procedures in “Activating for the first time” and “Setting the initial settings.” If the procedures are performed incorrectly, the engine number will change, resulting in improper operation. 1.
