GEAR INDICATOR INTRODUCTION (Club) The GEAR INDICATOR from CARTEK is a dashboard mounted device that is designed to indicate to a driver the current selected transmission gear and also incorporates a gear shift-light display which can indicate to a driver the optimum time to shift up a gear. The selected gear is indicated by a large, multi-coloured, 7 segment numerical display while the shift-light function is displayed at the upper part of the unit by 8 multi-coloured LEDs.

CONFIGURATION GEAR INDICATOR Club Configuration Menu 3 - Gear-Indicator Number of Forward Gears: Before the Gear Indicator can learn the gear ratios from the car’s transmission, or voltage values from a sequential gearbox gear position sensor, it needs to know how many forward gears the transmission has. To adjust the Number of Forward Gears, select Configuration Menu 3 as described previously.

CONFIGURATION GEAR INDICATOR Club 4.2) Gear-Indicator Learning Mode (Sensor Voltage Method): When using the Sensor Voltage method, the Gear-Indicator needs to measure and learn the gear position sensor output voltage for each gear including Neutral and Reverse if available. Therefore, the Gear-Indicator must be connected to a suitable gear position sensor, as shown in the Connection Diagram on page 1.

CONFIGURATION GEAR INDICATOR Club 3.2) Shift-Light Pattern START RPM using tachometer (Engine must be running) This method of setting the display sequence START RPM will require the engine to be run at half the preferred speed. This means the engine does not need to be driven at high RPM but make sure the engine is up to normal running temperature before commencing this procedure.
