Troubleshooting quick tips:
While the BIM is operating, the dot in the upper left corner of the display will indicate the status. On steady indicates it is
powered up but not receiving any BIM bus activity. Flashing indicates it is communicating on the BIM bus.
If the display shows "" then it is scanning to try and communicate with the Edelbrock system bus but cannot get an answer.
To see the sensor and channel status on the BIM display, press and hold the switch. The display will cycle through several
screens. The first will show the bus type ("" Edelbrock). The next screens will indicate which (if any) extended data is
available: "" for intake/manifold temp.
To set or change the ID number:
The ID will not normally need to be changed. The fuel PSI and A/F ratio readings both use bus ID's so if you have other BIM
units connected along with this one there is a chance of ID conflicts. This can easily be resolved. If fuel PSI or A/F ratio is not
showing up in the BIM setup menu on your system you may need to resolve an ID conflict. The following procedure will allow the
BIM-01-2 to automatically select a new, unused ID.
•
Hold the switch on BIM while turning the key on. The BIM will show the current software code.
•
Release the switch.
•
Press and release the switch until "" is shown on the display.
•
Press and hold. "" will be shown while the BIM is scanning the bus for other BIM units.
•
When you see "" shown on the display release the switch.
•
The BIM unit will now go back to normal operation.
***Intake/manifold air temp, Fuel PSI, boost and A/F ratio will be displayed in the group screens if activated through the displays>>group set menu
