I have a Prosport temp gauge and lost the manual. Does anyone know how to reset the alarm temperature so the new setting will remain in the gauge when the car is restarted? Need help!

 

I found this online from ALTA performance in a PDF regarding the installation of a prosport temp gauge in conjunction with one of their gauge pods....my assumption is that the procedure is correct:


Peak and Warning Setup
-- Gauges come with audible alarm turned on. To turn off (which we highly recommend) during power on stage, hold down peak/warning button.

-- Gauges have a built in peak reading. This is used by pressing the peak/warning button one time. This will display the gauge’s highest reading. To clear peak reading, hold down peak/warning button for 3 seconds.

-- Gauges also have built in warning. When the gauges go above this set point they will illuminate the small red light and make an audible alarm if turned on. To set warning, hold down the Peak/Warning button for 6 seconds. Gauges are now in setting mode and needle indicates warning setting. To adjust in small increments, push peak/warning button in short bursts. To adjust more coarsely, push and hold peak/warning button. When setting is adjusted, let gauge sit for 6 seconds to return to normal mode.


This find answers the same questions for me....

 

I did this but each time I trurn off the car, it resets to the old settings!!!! I will try again. Maybe I need to call Prosport?? Bill

 

I will try this on my temp gauge and see if it works for me. My gauge goes into that adjustment mode after only about 3 seconds of holding the button down.

I wonder if holding the button down for 6 full seconds opens up the board to accept a new permanent setting? I will count it out and try to set a new peak and see what happens. I will report here as soon as I have a chance to do it.

 

That's because you didn't connect the constant power wire, without that 5ma wire having power 100% of the time the gauge will forget your setting.

 

I just tried it again and it does not keep the new setting when the key is turned off. I think you are right; it must have to have constant power.

 

I will have to check my wiring too....

thanks for the input
