Talking Dual Aeroforce Tech Guages Installed!

Received and installed my dual Aerforce Interceptor gauges last night! - Love them. I was just gong to temporarily hook them up, but ended up "permanentaly" installing them. I put them in the two center vents using the Roush vent pods. I have them "somewhat" programmed tonight. I have one shift indicator set at 4000rpm and one set at 5500rpm. I still need to decide what parameters I want to display. I'm thinking I will have one of them cycle through several parameters and the other one permanently displaying two others.

ISSUES: It is harder to see the passenger side gauge - I'm looking at it at a sharper angle causing a glare on the lens plus the led lights to appear fainter. The other issue is that the shift indicator lights on the passenger side gauge (4000rpm) are not in my peripheral vision. I may have to move that gauge to the vent by the driver's door.

I know it didn't happen without pictures. I'll try and get some...

Glad you got it all worked out, pics or gtfo

Sad that I have had them for a month and still haven't figured how to set the shift lights.

Very cool, I like mine as well.

Note that when you set a gauge to cycle thru different parameters, you can't use that gauge as a shift lite, because the ...... cant remember, maybe the "communicater" won't be set. You have to go back and set it up again. Sorry, I forget the exact term.

Not too hard really, just have to go in right sequence... you have the instructions?

goto the "communicater" or something like that, and turn it on, then set what you want to track, then the number you want lites to go off.

If you want specifics, I would have to go out and walk myself thru it and write it down... once you get used to the menu system it isn't bad, i seem to get thru it ok and am no rocket scientist LOL

That's good to know. I think it's called the "Annunciator".

Thanks! I don't know if you downloaded the manual already, but here is the link:
http://www.aeroforcetech.com/files/I...AL_rev_3_4.pdf

You have to have rpm as one of the parameters you are scanning. Then you can go to the main menu by pushing both buttons at the same time.

Then push the left button to scroll down to Annunciator set-up. Then push the right button to scroll down to rpm.

Press the right button at rpm to select - there will be an * by it.

Then keep pushing the left button to exit and select exit with the right button. Then it will display the rpm page.

Left button to change the number - Right button to move to the next digit. When you get through all of the digits it will take you to a sceen that says "Above", "below", and "Exit". Use the right button at "above" to put an * by it. Then use the left button to get to exit and hit the right buton to exit. Right button again at scan to go back to displays.

Hope this helps (and is correct).

I knew about the annunciator I just hadn't played with it much further. Thanks for that!
