Digital Performance Speedometer; Calibration - Intellitronix DP3001 Installation Manual

DIGITAL PERFORMANCE SPEEDOMETER

Your Intellitronix dash panel is equipped with our Digital Performance Speedometer. This electronic
speedometer displays speed and includes an odometer, trip meter, high speed recall, 0 - 60 time, and
quarter-mile elapsed time. It can be calibrated with the push-button to adjust the speedometer for
different tire sizes, wheel sizes, and gear ratios. The single push-button is used by a quick tap to
toggle between odometer and trip meter. The microprocessor distinguishes between a quick tap and
a press and hold which will reset the trip meter in trip mode or display performance data in odometer
mode

CALIBRATION

Note: If using the Intellitronix GPS Sending Unit, (not included) the speedometer does not need to be
calibrated.
The speedometer leaves the factory with a pre-set industry standard setting of 8,000 pulses per mile.
Chances are that you may not need to recalibrate your speedometer, unless you have changed the
original tire size or the rear end gear ratio.
Note: Do not attempt to recalibrate your speedometer until after it is working properly and you have
determined that the speed is incorrect. The calibration procedure will NOT correct a faulty installation or
improper wiring. If you attempt to recalibrate your speedometer without making sure the speedometer is
receiving pulses from the sending unit, the speedometer will display 'Err' and default back to the factory
settings.
To calibrate:
Warning: If, while in 'CAL' mode, you do not move the vehicle and press the button
again, the microprocessor will NOT have received any data. The unit will display 'Err'
and will revert to the factory settings. At a minimum, drive some distance and return to
the start if necessary. If you miss stopping the display at 'CAL', simply repeat the
steps.
1. Locate a measured mile where you can safely start and stop your vehicle. By running the
vehicle over this measured distance, the speedometer will learn the number of pulses outputted by
the speedometer sensor during a specific measured distance. It will then use this acquired data to
calibrate itself for accurate reading. There is a small recall push-button in the center of the panel used
to calibrate and read all of the data stored in the speedometer. After installing your speedometer
according to the wiring instructions, when the ignition is on it should immediately display the default
screen of 0 MPH, if the vehicle is not moving.
NOTE: You will then need to drive your vehicle to the predetermined measured mile. During this trip,
the speedometer should read something other than 0 MPH. If it does not change, return and locate the
problem before continuing. Otherwise, proceed with the calibration.
2. Stop at the beginning of the measured mile with your vehicle running and in odometer mode (NOT
trip mode), press and hold the push-button until the odometer displays 'HI-SP'. On its own, the gauge
will then cycle through the recorded performance in the following order: '0 – 60', '1/4', 'ODO', and
'CAL'.
3. While 'CAL' is displayed, quickly tap the push-button once. This will put the speedometer in
Program Mode. If you did not tap while 'CAL' is displayed, the pulses per mile will be dis-played on
the odometer and the display will go back to MPH mode. Otherwise, you will now see 'CAL' displayed
along with the number '0'. This indicates that the microprocessor is now ready for calibration.
