The Aeroforce Interceptor gauge is 52mm (2 1/16") in
diameter and will fit in all standard gauge pods of this size. A 9'
cable is included with appropriate OBD2 connector. A splitter cable
is included with the dual Interceptor units. The gauge comes
configured with a black face and bezel but a polished aluminum
silver bezel and white face are included.
A function menu is available by pushing both buttons
simultaneously. One menu option allows you to enter a record mode.
Once selected, the Interceptor will return to normal scan mode, but
will start recording the displayed data automatically when the
throttle exceeds 60%. Approximately 60 seconds of data will be
stored. Returning to the menu screen, you can choose to replay the
stored data on the Interceptor display.
The gauge displays 2 parameters at a time, but can be programmed
to cycle through up to 8 parameters during a user determined period
of time. This way you can monitor several items without taking any
other actions.
Has high intensity warning lights that can be set using a 1 or 2
parameter algorithm. P1, P1 or P2, P1 and P2. For example, trigger
the lights when rpm exceeds 6000 rpm, or when trans temp exceeds
230 F and coolant exceeds 210 F, or when air fuel ratio is above
12.5 and throttle is above 75%. Due to the gauges extremely fast
update rate, this light is very accurate and easy to set. Once you
try it you'll find you can't live without it!
Another menu option offers the ability to swap the foreground
and backround colors of the display (as pictured below). Using this
feature, for example, the gauge with a black backround and blue
characters (negative image) becomes a blue backround with black
characters (positive image). Not only can this be visually
appealing but beneficial in changing lighting conditions. Positive
images are easier to read in bright sunlight, negative at
night.
The Interceptor's scan rate can also be adjusted through a menu
function.
DTC's (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) can be accessed and cleared via
menu options.This essential feature will help the gauge to pay for
itself the first time the check engine light comes on. Those that
have modified their vehicle will find this very handy when a
sensor, vacuum line, etc. has been inadvertently left disconnected,
or something was just not put back together properly.
The two analog inputs can be configured through menu choices. A
linear conversion can be entered so that an analog signal connected
to the gauge can be read in appropriate units. These inputs are
handy for pressure signals such as those from MAP and oil pressure
sensors, analog outputs from Air/Fuel ratio kits, etc. These signal
can then be read and recorded along side the other parameters
obtained on the vehicle's bus.
The gauge has bi-directional controls allowing for manual
control of the low and high speed fans, CASE relearn and ECU reset
on GM vehicles, and on most Chrysler vehicles the transmission
controller can be reset and Electronic Stability Program can also
be completely turned off to improve track performance.
New optional relay output module allows you to control a 12v
relay based on values of OBD2 or analog input data.
Last but not least, the Interceptor will measure 0-60 times, as
well as 1/8 and 1/4 mile time and speeds. This is accomplished
through a simple menu selection. This function is not available on
the ISO based (older imports) due to slower bus speeds.
Installation in most cases is accomplished by simply plugging
the supplied connector into the OBD2 port below the steering wheel.
Literally plug-and-play! Some vehicles such as those requiring the
ISOi version (older imports) require switched 12v power. The rear
connector of the gauge has a provision for this so installation is
still a snap!
Dual Interceptor Option: Two Interceptors can be purchased with
a special splitter cable that allows both gauges to operate
simultaneously. The second gauge of a dual set in most cases is
simply another single gauge programmed to working in tandem. The
exception is the SR dual set in which case the second gauge will
show a smaller subset of parameters that the main gauge. This is
due to limitations of the Chrysler PCM. Check the list of
parameters and features for more details. This second gauge also
will not have a performance timer.
The Interceptor scan gauge is capable of displaying over 100
parameters, two at a time (8 using cyclic scan), at an adjustable
rate of up to approximately 20 times per second. Not all are
supported by every vehicle, so there is no guarantee that the
Interceptor will display all of these on your particular car or
truck. If the vehicle is broadcasting the parameter, the
Interceptor will recognize this and make it available for display.

AeroForce Interceptor Gauge User Maual
Users will find that ability to log RPM vs other parameters at
high speed such as ignition advance, boost, or knock retard
invaluable with regards to tuning.
Standard General Motors including Duramax diesel (pre 2006)
gauge packages. Check application guide linked above for your exact
model before ordering. Unlike previous generation Interceptor
gauges, these current versions are universal for all GM vehicles.
The user can select which parameters to view as well as customize
the power up screen.
Gauges come configured with a black face and black bezel with an
included white face and polished silver bezel. Additional optional
hardware such as silver face or brushed aluminum bezel
CN series for newer CAN bus vehicles. See application guide for
exact information:
