2 ISSPRO, INC N.E. Riverside Way, Portland OR Telephone: (503) Toll Free: (800) Fax: (503) ISSPRO Attribute Programmer Instructions The Attribute Programmer is used to activate and set levels for warning lights, adjust lighting curves, and adjust filtering characteristics of ISSPRO EV² and Performax electronic gauges. 1) Install the programming software onto your PC: a) Insert the CD into a CD drive on your PC, then using Windows Explorer to select the CD drive (as an example, if it were the D: drive, double click on the D: in Windows Explorer). b) Double click on the file setup.cmd. Please note that the.cmd extension may not be visible depending on preferences selected on your PC. Follow direction on your screen to proceed with the installation. c) It is recommended that you keep the default destination values. d) Once program is complete installed, click Finish button.

3 e) Creating a desktop shortcut: i) Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Attribute Programmer folder, and then point to Attribute Programmer. ii) Right-click the Attribute Programmer file point to Sent To, and then click Desktop (creating shortcut). iii) Attribute Programmer shortcut appears on your desktop. 2) Expose the programming pins on the back of the gauge (EV2 only): a) Using small wire cutters or something similar, cut the sides of the breakaway portion below the opening for the electrical connector. b) Bend the remaining tab back to allow access to the programming pins. You can also break the tab completely out if desired. 3) Plug the connector of the USB cable into the back of the gauge, with the red wire towards the left side of the gauge back as it is facing you (closest to pin #6 on the gauge). For Performax gauges, the USB programming cable shall be plugged in the same connector as the power harness to the gauge. The USB Programming Cable with Adaptor P/N R82005 is required for programming and to be purchased separately. 4) Plug the USB end of the cable into the PC s USB port. The first time using the programmer there will be a delay while Windows installs the driver. Note that the drivers are on the installation CD. The CD must be installed when first using the USB port. 5) Start the program by double-clicking its icon. Form No. IS204 (04/02/2012 Rev. A) Page 3 of 6

4 6) 4743 Program Attributes window will display. 7) Under Gauge Type, select the gauge type you are working with. Within EV2 choices the differences are in the default programming for the Dimmer Max and Dimmer Min values, to match the factory backlighting for the particular truck. See also note A below. 8) Under Description, select the specific gauge you are working with, such as Turbo Boost 100 psi. Once you make this selection then the default values for this gauge will show in the adjustment windows. 9) Dimmer/Backlight EV2 only, these are the values for dimmer circuit input to the gauge at the maximum and minimum light output conditions. Note that the max values are typically higher than actual vehicle voltages, which is necessary to match the factory backlight levels. These values (especially the Dimmer Min value) may be fine tuned to get the gauge brightness to perfectly match the factory dash at lower brightness levels, but otherwise should be left at default values. 10) Alarm Direction toggle switch to define if the warning light comes on above a maximum level or below a minimum level. Maximum level values are used for pyrometers and most other gauges, but minimum levels are frequently used for Oil Pressure and Fuel Pressure. 11) Alarm Lamp Warning Level the set point at which the alarm turns on. This may be set by rotating the knob with the mouse pointer, or clicking in the window below the knob and typing in an exact number. Form No. IS204 (04/02/2012 Rev. A) Page 4 of 6

5 12) Test Mode EV2 only, used to confirm the alarm value and direction setting: a) After selecting your values for the alarm level and direction, make sure the switch for Test Mode is up, then press the Program Part button. It will change color briefly then return to the original color. b) Unplug the programmer connector from the gauge, then plug the vehicle s orange gauge harness connector back into the gauge and turn on power. The gauge should cycle through its full range of values, with the warning light turning on at the selected point. c) If the gauge is NOT working as intended, unplug the gauge from the vehicle, plug the programmer connector back in to the gauge, check/reset the value in question, and repeat step 12a. d) If the gauge IS working as intended, unplug the gauge from the vehicle, plug the programmer connector back in to the gauge, click the Test Mode switch to the down position to Normal Mode, then click on the Program Part button. Unplug the programmer connector from the gauge, reinstall gauge in the vehicle, and confirm correct gauge functionality. 13) Pointer Position Performax only, used to confirm the alarm value and direction setting. After selecting your values for the alarm level and direction, press the Program Part button then simply move the rotary knob or enter a specific value in the box below the knob, the gauge will move to that value and the warning light should illuminate per its programming. 14) Reset to Default Values press this button if you would like to set all parameters to default, then follow steps 12a-12d. 15) Advanced this switch reveals advanced EV2 programming functions. Note: Some setting may affect the operation and/ or accuracy of the gauge. Use the new settings cautiously. If in doubt, the factory settings can be restored by pressing the Reset to Default Values button. Form No. IS204 (04/02/2012 Rev. A) Page 5 of 6

6 a) Degrees Sweep Angular degrees of sweep between min and max positions on the gauge. b) Sensor Scan Rate the period in milliseconds for each cycle of scanning the sensor. Set to 250 for most gauges, or 1 for certain fuel pressure gauges. c) Hysteresis a setting of 0-255, defining the minimum change in the measured value necessary for movement of the pointer. A higher value will cause the pointer to remain steadier with small oscillations in values, but it will move more when it does finally move. d) Weight 0.0 to 1.0, with lower numbers giving more filtering to the pointer (i.e., slower but smoother response). 16) Stop button press this button at anytime to stop programming. Note A: Certain older EV2 gauges (S/N earlier than B333, which would not have the warning light pre-installed) will not accept any programming using this software. Gauges with S/N B334 through C90 will work with this software but do not have warning lights. If you have an older gauge without warning lights and would like to use this software to make any other adjustments, contact ISSPRO Engineering to arrange for shipping it back for reprogramming. To check if a gauge has a pre-installed warning light, simply watch the bottom of the face dial (6 o clock position) when powering up the gauge, if the warning LED is installed it will briefly light up red during start-up.
