Product Description
-------------------
ScanGaugeE provides you with real-time information about your
vehicle's fuel economy through an intuitive graphic display.
Track your fuel costs and fuel used in real-time. View
information such as miles-per-gallon, gallons-per-hour and Trip
Fuel Used. Track actual fuel costs with Trip-Fuel-Costs and
Today's-Fuel-Costs digital gauges. Track your vehicle's CO2
output in real-time. View information such as Current-CO2 and
Trip-CO2. You can also track the days Total CO2 and Total CO2 for
the tank within the built-in Trip Computers. The ScanGaugeE
allows you to troubleshoot your own vehicle, read error codes,
the conditions present when the error occurred and the ability to
turn off the "Check Engine" light and avoid those costly trips to
the mechanic. Built-in nonvolatile Flash memory retains setup
information and stored trip data. The gauges and trip computer
information can be shown in either English or metric units of
measure, including kilometers, liters, Celsius, kPA and the rate
of update can be increased or decreased. ScanGaugeE installs in
just minutes without tools and does not require batteries or an
external power source. A single connection to the diagnostic
connector under the dashboard is all that is needed. All data and
power are derived from the single OBDII connection. The
Control/Display unit can be ed up to 6 feet from the
under-dash diagnostic connector. The included Velcro attachment
system allows it to be quickly detached and used to troubleshoot
other vehicles. Simple 5-button operation allows you to quickly
and easily access the powerful features of the ScanGaugeE.

Real-time Fuel Economy Via Graphic Feedback
-------------------------------------------
ScanGaugeE is a unique dashboard ed tool that provides you
with real-time information about your vehicle's immediate fuel
economy, relevant engine processes and a wide range of other
important data points which it gathers from your vehicle's
onboard computer system and relates to you by way of an intuitive
graphic display. Problems surrounding the rising cost of
automotive fuels and the impact that driving has on the
environment are here to stay. But according to a report issued by
the US government, adjusting your driving habits can increase
fuel-economy by up to 33%. In addition, we all have a carbon
footprint - the a of carbon dioxide (CO2) that each of us is
personally responsible for releasing into the environment by our
actions. The good news is that drivers can easily adjust their
driving style to improve fuel economy in the short and long-term,
lower their CO2 emissions and even monitor and troubleshoot
diagnostic information that your vehicle automatically generates
via its network of onboard computers with the instant feedback
provided by ScanGaugeE.
Learn to use up to 33% less fuel by monitoring your driving in
real-time.

Monitor real-time fuel costs and how they are altered by your
driving actions.
Monitor your current CO2 emissions, for the trip or for the tank.
Connects in seconds and is powered by your vehicle's OBD-II port.
Three Tools in One
------------------
The ScanGaugeE draws diagnostic information from your vehicle's
OBD-II port and funnels this into useful automotive data points.
These data points are organized into three areas of functionality
designed to maximize useful real-time information, no matter the
user. These groupings are: trip computer, digital gauges and scan
tool.
Trip Computer
-------------
The trip computer functionality built into the ScanGaugeE
automatically tracks five sets of trip data: current trip,
today's trip, previous day's trip, current tank trip and tank to
empty. Each of these features 11 individually stored parameters.
These data parameter points include:
* Fuel economy
* Fuel used
* Maximum coolant temperature
* Distance
* Maximum RPM
* Drive time
* Maximum speed
* Average speed
* Current tank of fuel information * Distance to empty
* Time to empty
* Fuel to empty
Digital Gauges
--------------
The digital gauge functionality of the ScanGaugeE allows for up
to five gauge sets: three built-in and two custom. These include:
fuel efficiency screen, CO2 screen, fuel cost screen, and your
two customizable screens. Examples of customizable gauge screens
include:
* Fuel economy (MPG or liters/100Km)
* Fuel rate (GPH or LPH)
* Ignition Timing (before and after TDC)
* Manifold pressure (not available on some vehicles)
* Tachometer (RPM) - accurate to within 1 RPM
* Engine load
* Throttle position
* Digital speedometer (MPH or KPH adjustable for tire size or
gearing changes)
* Battery voltage (reads to 0.1-volts)
* Coolant temperature
* Intake air temperature
* Open/closed loop
* CO2 (displays current and trip CO2 production)
Scan Tool
---------
Modern vehicles are constantly monitoring themselves via their
internal computer systems, with the result being the output of
diagnostic codes, but these codes are usually not readable
without a code reader. The ScanGaugeE allows you to troubleshoot
your own vehicle, read these error codes -- the conditions
present when the error occurred -- and the turn off the "Check
Engine" light. Taken together, these abilities help avoid costly
trips to the mechanic we could all do without.
* Reads and clears trouble codes
* Shows conditions when trouble was detected
* Turns off "Check Engine" lamp
* Shows when emissions tests have been completed and vehicle is
ready to pass OBD-II emissions testing
What is OBD-II?
---------------
Since 1996 standardized Onboard Diagnostic systems -- currently
OBD-II -- have been mandated for virtually all cars and light
trucks manufactured for the US market. These provide automotive
technicians and DIYers with in into the increasingly complex
inner workings of modern passenger vehicles. Traditionally
professional grade diagnostic results required large and/or
expensive scanning tools to translate diagnostic trouble codes
(DTCs) and other data generated by the internal computer networks
of your vehicle when the check engine/malfunction indicator light
(MIL) on the dashboard goes off, but the Scan Tool functionality
of the the ScanGaugeE provides an affordable option that allows
access to much of this information.
Easy Installation with No Tools Required
----------------------------------------
ScanGaugeE installs in just minutes without tools and does not
require batteries or an external power source. Simply plug the
CAT-5 style end of the included cable into the back of the unit,
and plug the site end, which terminates in an OBD-II
connector, into your vehicle's OBD-II port. Virtually every
vehicle manufactured since 1996 has an OBD-II port, usually
located under the dashboard on the driver's side. This port is
standardized ensuring that the ScanGaugeE cable connector will
fit. All power used is drawn from this connection and it serves
as an interface to your vehicle's onboard diagnostic computer
network. The detachable six (6) foot cord along with the Velcro
attachment system for the display also allows ScanGaugeE to be
ed just about anywhere on the dash or console while staying
connected to your vehicle.
