Knock Indication On Apexi Power Fc

[Drift King]

Hi Everyone!

How are you all? It has been a while since I was last on here due to work and other commitments.

I have a question regarding the knock indicator on the Apexi Power FC. Is it possible to change from the bar graph to the numerical frequency? I usually have 8 gauges showing at any one time and when I press the up arrow a number comes up beside the Knock indicator, which has been as high as 28 but then it seems as though the hand controller intermitently freezes. Do I have a problem, Are the knock readings to high? Please help!

Sincerely

Richard

28 is fine, anything over 60 it fringey, anything over 100 needs to be looked at very soon. If it is always over 100 your in trouble, but generally you only see peaks when putting the motor under load ie going up a steep hill in 5th and then trying to give it the boot!!!

You can mitigate knock by using a trailing throttle ie when your going up the steep hill, slowly ease off on the accelerator ie start at say 100km/h at the bottom and then be doing say 80km/h by the top of the hill. OR you could just select a lower gear and not put the car under load in the first place.

The pfc graph is live,and flickers with the knock reading, the number under it is a peak hold number ie the highest reading experienced is shown. You can reset it to zero on the fly by pressing the right arrow. It also resets every time you turn off the ignition.

Thank you for your help. Just wondering is there any way to change the knock indicator to be shown as a number rather than the graph/line that moves across the screen?

press UP

press RIGHT to clear the max value

Does doing that highlight and freeze the values on the hand controller? That is what is happening on my pfc. Thanks again for your help.

when you press up in the monitor mode it shows the max that everything has reached since the last time you reset it, or started the car....just push down and it'll go back to the live figures

pressing up shows the knock value in numerical format

press RIGHT should clear the maxium values

press UP to freeze and DOWN again to unfreeze

I've set my PFC up so it only displays 4 readings (Knock, Water Temp, RPM and Speed). I have the up arrow pressed so it shows the highest readings, plus the numbers are quite large for you to see with the live readouts.
