Info Area Message:
• If there is a system notification that needs attention, such as FUEL or SPEED calibration is
required, the bottom Message Area line item of the 'base' Message Center will indicate what
needs attention.
• If this bottom Message Area is red, it can be cleared manually by holding the Control Knob and
waiting for the 'HOLD TO CLEAR' progress bar to complete. If corrective action is not taken,
this notification will occur whenever the ignition is turned off and back on.
Note: Any 'Base' Message Center warnings and info messages must be cleared in order for
the user to access the Message Center selection features above. Additional warning features
are discussed in the MAIN-SETUP-WARN menus below.

GRAFIX Warning System

The GRAFIX instrument series comes standard with several warning mechanisms built in to provide
necessary feedback for all configured vehicle systems so that the user is informed if any of the
warning set points are violated. These mechanisms can be found globally across the installed and
configured gauges and installed sensors (unless otherwise noted in associated sections throughout
this document).
User warning feedback mechanisms include:
• Configurable MESSAGE CENTER Warning and Information messages (see above)
o Associated MESSAGE AREA will turn 'red' indicating a violation
• All analog gauges include warning indicator in the gauge face that will illuminate
• Digital readouts will be displayed in a 'red' box with white text
• Configurable output terminals on the Control Box (TACH and WARN)
o See MAIN-SETUP for details
• Configurable audible tone
• Configurable red LED indicator on the Instrument Cluster and associated popup message

MAIN MENU

The following section will go through the MAIN MENU line items. At the end of this section find more
in-depth details on the SYSTEM and SETUP sub-menu items. There is also a Glossary of Terms
towards the end of this document with descriptions of some of the items and terms mentioned.
Note: Because of the extensive flexibility of configuring the GRAFIX systems, most of the
sub-menus contain a BACK menu item at the bottom of their respective lists. The BACK can
be selected by scrolling CW down the list with the Control Knob until BACK is highlighted.
The user can then 'tap' the Control knob to jump back (up) one sub-menu.
Note: By 'holding' the Control Knob in when BACK is highlighted in the sub-menu lists, user
instructions and a timer progress bar will appear in the menu box. Upon completion of the
timer progressing to the left side of the menu box, the user will return to the MAIN MENU, thus
bypassing what can be several required 'BACK-TAP' operations.
To access the GRAFIX user interface and menu structure, 'tap' the Control Knob. The MAIN MENU
list of items pictured below will pop up in the menu box on the Instrument Cluster. This is the MAIN
MENU, and is the 'root' menu for access to all of the GRAFIX's sub-menus (other than the Message
Groups mentioned above).
