3-LED Spyglass
The hourmeter LED lights when the LCD
is displaying hourmeter data.
The BDI LED lights when the LCD is
displaying BDI%. It flashes when BDI%
drops to <10%.
The Fault LED flashes to indicate an
active fault, and the fault code appears on
the LCD.
The word SERVICE is displayed at key-on
if either service timer has expired.
6-LED Spyglass
The three green BDI LEDs function as a
bargraph showing BDI% between 52% and
100%.
Yellow LED = 36% – 51% BDI.
Red LED steady = 20% – 35% BDI.
Red LED flashing = 0 – 19% BDI.
The Fault LED flashes to indicate an
active fault, and the fault code appears on
the LCD.
The word SERVICE is displayed at key-on
