Clock | Dakota Digital 650360 guide

AVAILABLE SCREENS:

Some screen data should always be available to this module from most VHX systems. These screens are:

Clock	Engine Temp	Oil Pressure	Fuel Level
Tachometer	Speed (MPH)	Speed (km/hr)

Additionally, depending on the configuration of your main VHX system, many other screens may also be available (many of these readings require additional sensors and or BIM expansion modules) including:

Gear Position	Compass	Various temperature readings
Various pressure readings		More readings may be available from BIM modules

By default all screens are set to “ON” but only screens with data available will be displayed.

WARNING POINTS:

Warnings for the main system values (Engine Temp, Oil Pressure, Fuel, and Tachometer) will not be displayed in this auxiliary module as they are provided on the main VHX system. However, BIM modules that have the internal warning points (set in VHX main system setup) will flash if they are currently being displayed and they are in a warning condition.

CHANGING SCREENS:

Various screens of information are available to the auxiliary display from the VHX system. To display a different screen simply press and release the switch. The display will change to the next screen selected in the “SCREENS” list in setup that has data available. Screens that are set to “OFF” in setup or that don’t currently have data available will be skipped.

NOTE: All the information displayed on this module comes from the main VHX system. If the information needed for a particular screen is not provided by the system (a BIM module becomes disconnected for instance) the display may show “???” to indicate information is no longer available for that screen. Pressing the switch will move the screen to next available screen with available data.

SCREEN SPECIAL FUNCTIONS:

Some screens have additional special functions. To use these special functions press and hold the switch. One screen that has a special function is the clock screen. Holding the switch on the clock screen allows setting the clock offset (see “CLOCK” section for details). Additional special functions for BIM modules, if any, are described in the BIM module manual.

CLOCK:

CLOCK SOURCE AND SETTING CLOCK:

This auxiliary module does not keep its own time. Instead it uses either the VHX system time or the time from a BIM-16 clock module (if connected). For most applications, it is recommended to set the clock on the VHX system or set the BIM-16 time if it is being used.

NOTE: Due to system limitations, if all 16 BIM expansion channels of the VHX system are in use and none of them provide time information (such as BIM-16) a clock reading may not be available to display on this module.

24 HOUR CLOCK:

The main VHX system clock is only a 12hr clock. If a 24 hour clock display is desired, a BIM-16 clock expansion module may be purchased from Dakota Digital. This module will connect to the BIM expansion jack of the VHX control box and can be set in the main system setup. If a BIM-16 is connected to the VHX system, this auxiliary display module will automatically read clock data from the BIM-16.

NOTE: If the clock offset is used with a 24 hour clock source, the displayed time will be forced to a 12 hour clock.
