Users Guide: iMFD User Guide 2.4.2 OBDII Parameters 3 Hardware 3.1 Connecting Power Option 1: Using the Cigarette Lighter Power This option is ideal if your cigarette lighter power is only ON when your ignition key is turned. In some vehicles, your cigarette lighter power is always ON. Leaving your DM-100 OBDII unit always powered on will drain your vehicle’s battery quickly. If this is the case for your vehicle, we recommend option 2. Plug the 2.
Users Guide: iMFD User Guide The unit is working properly when the OLED screen turns on within 10 seconds. If your gauge does not turn on, check your power connections and gauge connections. 3.2 iMFD Daisy Chain The iMFD architecture allows you to connect up to 16 Display Modules and 16 Sensors in a daisy chain format. Please keep in mind that the DM-100 Touch has 4 SMs built-in. The 4 built-in SMs can be programmed up to 26 different combinations. See section (3.3).
Users Guide: iMFD User Guide 3.3 Programmable SM-OBDII Your DM-100 Touch includes two products in one. It combines a DM-100 and 4 programmable SM-OBDII modules into one product. 3.3.1 Termination There are 2 options, Terminated and NOT Terminated. When the SM-OBD is terminated, it resembles the following diagram When the SM-OBD is NOT Terminated it resembles the following diagram. 11 Version 2.0 May 16, 2013 www.plxdevices.
Users Guide: iMFD User Guide 3.3.2 Data Polling Data Polling means that the SM-OBD ‘gets’ an updated value from the vehicle’s ECU (Engine Control Unit). You can choose to turn ON or OFF Data Polling for Sensors 1,2,3,4. The more sensors you have set to ON, the slower the refresh rate will be. It is recommended that you turn on data polling only on sensors you wish to monitor, for maximum performance. By default, your unit comes preset with sensor 1,2,3,4 data polling ON.
Users Guide: iMFD User Guide 3.4 Setup Sensors Sensors are automatically detected when the gauge starts up. Detected sensors are arranged in the order of the iMFD daisy chain connection. Up to 16 sensors can be detected and displayed on the DM-100 OBDII Touch. 3.5 Special Note about the DM-100 OBDII Touch If you wish to detect sensors from the SM-OBDII, you MUST connect the TX from the SM-OBD to the RX of Sensors with the supplied 1ft serial cable. See diagram below.
Users Guide: iMFD User Guide 4.2 Digital Gauges (Numeric) Digital gauges represent sensor data in large numeric form. Touch LEFT – RIGHT to switch between sensors. Touch DOWN to switch to plot gauges. Touch UP to switch to analog gauges. 4.3 Plot Gauges Plot gauges represent sensor data in a real-time graphical form. The sensor data is plotted on the y-axis and time is plotted on the x-axis. Touch LEFT – RIGHT to switch between sensors. Touch DOWN to switch to peak-hold.
Users Guide: iMFD User Guide 4.5 Two Parameter Gauges 2 parameter gauges represent sensor data by showing 2 sensors simultaneously on the same screen. Touch LEFT – RIGHT to switch between sensors. Touch DOWN to switch to 4 parameter view. Touch UP to switch to peak and hold gauges. 4.6 Four Parameter Gauges 4 parameter gauges represent sensor data by showing all 4 parameters simultaneously on the same screen. Touch LEFT – RIGHT to switch between sensors. Touch DOWN to switch to custom gauge view.

LEFT – RIGHT (Simultaneously 3 seconds) – To exit the color palette. 7.2 Connect to PC The DM-100 must be in this menu for the PC to communicate with the device. Toggle to this menu if you want to upload wallpapers, custom gauge, and/or update your sensor table. 7.3 Warnings The DM-100 can monitor up to 4 parameters for warnings.
Users Guide: iMFD User Guide If the DM-100 measures the following values and the ‘scheme’ setting is set to P1 OR P2, this means that if the Parameter 1 is TRUE OR Parameter 2 is TRUE, a warning will trigger. Parameter 3 and 4 are ignored. Measured values: (Parameter 1) AFR = 14.0 FALSE (Parameter 2) EGT = 850 TRUE (Parameter 3) Oil = 105 FALSE (Parameter 4) BST = 20 TRUE Since Parameter 2 is TRUE, a warning will trigger according to the above example.
Users Guide: iMFD User Guide 7.4.1 Set Defaults This option resets the DM-100 back to factory defaults. Custom wallpapers, custom gauge and sensor tables are NOT affected. 7.4.2 Boot State This option allows you to set which gauge to be displayed when the DM-100 boots up for the first time. 7.4.3 OBD Diag In this mode, your DM-100 can be connected and controlled from the PC with additional 3rd party software. 7.4.
