Dakota Digital 650360 CLOCK:

MAN #650360

Some screen data should always be available to this module from most VHX systems. Thes e 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.

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 th at have the internal

warning points (set in VHX main system setup) will flash if they are currently being displayed and the y are in a

warning condition.

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 dat a

available will be skipped.

NOTE: All the information displayed on this module comes from the main VHX system. If the informat ion needed

for a particular screen is not provided by the system (a BIM module becomes disconnected for inst ance) the

display may show “???” to indicate information is no longer available for that screen. Pressing the s witch will move

the screen to next available screen with available data.

Some screens have additional special functions. To use these special functions press and hold th e 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 an y, are described

in the BIM module manual.

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 a nd none of them

provide time information (such as BIM-16) a clock reading may not be available to display on this m odule.

The main VHX system clock is only a 12hr clock. If a 24 hour clock display is desired, a BIM-16 cloc k expansion

module may be purchased from Dakota Digital. This module will connect to the BIM expansion jac k of the VHX

control box and can be set in the main system setup. If a BIM-16 is connected to the VHX syst em, 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 t o a 12 hour clock.
