PIAGGIO X9 Evolution 500 - Dashboard Indicators and Intercom System

Dashboard
Vehicle X9 is provided with an instrument panel
divided into 2 sections: the analogue section is
fixed into the cap while the digital section is integral
to the handlebar.
The analogue section includes:
- Tachometer with dual scale (MPH/KMH) control-
led by the fifth wheel by the digital section;
- RPM counter controlled by the signal sent by the
injection control unit;
- Fuel level indicator controlled by a resistive sen-
sor (into the tank)
- Cooling fluid temperature indicator controlled by
a resistive sensor (on the head)
These instruments are electrical and managed by
stepping motors.
The digital section has the following indications:
- Fuel reserve: amber coloured;
- Position and dipped beam lights: green coloured;
- Upper or passing beams: blue coloured;
- Left direction indicator: green coloured;
- Right direction indicator: green coloured;
- Emergency lights (four direction indicators): red
coloured;
- Engine disabled: red coloured;
- ABS system failure (optional): red coloured;
- Oil pressure: red coloured;
- Injection warning: amber coloured;
- ALARM (electro-hydraulic stand): red coloured.
The fuel reserve, direction indicators and emergency flashing functions are activated by the instrument
electronics. For example, the fuel reserve indicator light only turns on when the reserve indication com-
ing from the engine lasts at least 13.5 seconds. This prevents the intermitting turning on of the reserve
light indicator.
- The intermitting function is built in the instrument electronics: this allows operating the emergency
lights with switch in position "OFF" and control switch off. The control switch is only active when the
instrument panel is on.
