1086210 GMC/Chevy Duramax X-Monitor
22
The X-Monitor is calibrated to the thermocouple that is supplied with the kit and may
not register accurately if an existing or different thermocouple is used.
If the thermocouple was installed after the turbo, in the exhaust pipe, all
temperatures will indicate lower and the maximum safe temperature is 900 degrees.
DO NOT RUN ENGINE AT HIGHER THAN 900 DEG INDICATED FOR
EXTENDED PERIODS OR ENGINE DAMAGE MAY RESULT. DO NOT run
transmission at higher than 250 degrees indicated for prolonged periods or
transmission damage may result.
THE X-MONITOR IS A VERSATILE GAUGE PACKAGE THAT CAN BE
PROGRAMMED TO MONITOR DIFFERENT SYSTEMS OF THE VEHICLE.
THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOR GENERAL INSTALLATION AND SPECIFIC
APPLICATIONS WILL RECEIVE INDIVIDUAL APPLICATION INFORMATION.
It is recommended that when mounting/securing the X Monitor module or RPS
module (used in Back Pressures applications), the barb of the pressure sensor on
the modules point downward to prevent any condensation from the tubing collecting
inside the modules.
Maintenance & Troubleshooting
Following the diagrams in this manual, tracing hoses and wiring, checking continuity
through electric components or checking for any lines that are disconnected, should
solve any problems that may arise.
NOTE: Analog signals are naturally affected by RF (radio frequency) noise. To
eliminate any possible chance of an erratic signal please choose a clean ground
signal for the X Monitor, that is clearly mounted away from the alternator wires or
any other voltage sources (positive battery cables, etc.). If for some reason you still
have erratic sensor readings try a direct ground connection to the battery.
Thermocouple wires should also be clear from any RF noise sources as well (i.e.
alternator, positive battery cables, etc). If the thermocouple signal is erratic then the
copper ground wire that is contained inside of the thermocouple wire can be
connected to ground to reduce a small amount of noise. Be sure to connect only
one end of this copper wire to eliminate any ground loops from forming.
If you have any problems or need replacement parts, call us at 1-800-887-5030,
between 8:30am and 4:30pm Pacific Time.
