#Operation

The Electronic Display Module (EDM) may be used alone to display Engine parameters or in conjunction with the Auxiliary Information Module (AIM) to display additional equipment parameters.

The EDM will display the following parameters at all times if the sensor is installed on the equipment (refer to Figure 1.1 above):

• Engine RPM
• Engine Coolant or Oil Temperature (Oil Temperature only when Coolant Temperature is unavailable from the ECM)
• Engine Oil Pressure
• ECM Battery Voltage or Auxiliary Current (Requires AIM)
• Vehicle Speed or Auxiliary Pump Pressure or Engine Load
• Equipment Temperature or Pressure (Requires AIM)
• Equipment Temperature or Pressures (Requires AIM) or Engine Turbo Boost Pressure
• Fuel Level (Requires AIM)
• Check and Stop Indicators
