Safety Guidelines

WARNING
Before using device, read and understand the user manual, including
these additional safety instructions. Failure to do so could result in
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY.

• Do not exceed legal speed limits on public roadways. Violating traffic laws is
dangerous and could result in injury or vehicle damage or both.
• Use any enhanced speed capabilities of this product only in closed circuit, legally
sanctioned racing environments expressly for this purpose. Violating traffic laws is
dangerous and could result in injury or vehicle damage or both.
• Do not operate the device while driving. Distracted driving could result in traffic
accidents, death or serious injury, and/or damage to your vehicle.
• Always perform all adjustments or changes while stopped. Changing a setting while
driving can interfere with your attention to roadway conditions and could result in
injury or vehicle damage or both.
• Do not stack products. “Stacking” performance-enhancing devices or other
improper installation can cause power train failure on the road. Other products may
have features incompatible with your device. Follow all installation and operating
instructions.
• Some modifications may affect other parts of your vehicle. For example, if you
remove/adjust the speed limiter in your vehicle, be sure your tires and other
components are rated for the increased speeds they will have to withstand. Not
doing so can lead to loss of vehicle control. Modify the speed limiter only for use
in closed circuit, legally sanctioned racing environments, not for use on public
roadways.

NOTE: The stickers included in some products apply to products that have
recieved CARB exemption for emissions compliance.

This product may meet the emissions compliance requirements of the California
Air Resources Board and Federal Environment Protection Agency. If so, it is legal
for sale and use on pollution-controlled vehicles operated on public streets and
highways. The device must be installed and operated according to the instruction
provided in this user manual. Included with these compliant products is a sticker
for you to keep in your vehicle. You can either adhere it somewhere on the
vehicle (e.g., the inside end of driver’s door) or simply store it in your glove box.
The purpose of these stickers is to inform anyone who may have questions
regarding the use of this product and how it affects emissions. For example, it
would be something to show an emissions technician if questioned when taking
your vehicle in for an emissions check to let him/her know the product is CARB
emissions compliant.

volt signals and translate them into meaningful values for display on the
CTS3. Use the EAS Settings Menu to properly configure any sensor
intended for use with the accessory. There are two channels to this input,
Channel A and Channel B. Following the onscreen prompts will allow you
to go to each channel’s individual settings.

Setting up a EAS branded sensor:


1 Enter the EAS Settings Menu.
2 Select your Universal Sensor Module (Note: the serial number should
match the unit that is connected to the sensor you are attempting to
configure).
3 Select the channel that you
connected your sensor to, either A
or B.
4 Select Scaling and then search
the list for the sensor you are using.
5 At this point, you can save the
settings and begin using the sensor.
The name and description will be
populated with the default EAS
sensor’s name, description, and
display units.
6 Alternatively, you can customize
the name, description, and units if
you choose. (Note: Changing the
sensors display units does not have
any effect on the data being displayed. The sensors scaling is set up for
the default display units).
7 When in the Gauges mode, you’ll be able to apply that sensor to any
gauge using the Gauge Editor Menu.

EAS Power Switch
The EAS Power Switch allows you to control your favorite aftermarket
accessories such as lights, air compressors, etc. directly through the CTS3
Upon starting the CTS3 for the first time with the EAS device installed, you may
go straight to changing Switch settings, or you may opt to go to the home menu
and navigate to the EAS Settings Menu at any time after to change the Switch
Names and Descriptions.

When an EAS Power Switch is connected to a CTS3, a new switch page is


automatically added to the Gauged
mode. It is added in the very first slot,
to the far left of the gauge pages.
The switch page will be automatically
populated with connected switches
(up to 4). You also have the option of
placing a switch on any digital gauge.

Switch Operation:
• A single tap on a switch, or digital gauge holding a switch, will change the state of
the switch.
• A long press and hold on a switch, or digital gauge holding a switch, will enter the
Switch Customization Menu.

Switch Customization Menu:


Users can change the switch look, and LED color through this menu.

Gauges Mode Operation with EAS Power Switch connected:


• If an EAS Switch module is present, the sleep timer is extended to 30 seconds. The
30 second timer is also used if a device is woken up by a tap (warm boot).
• If a switch is toggled to the ON position, the sleep timer is suspended until the switch
is toggled to the OFF position. Once the switch is toggled OFF, the sleep timer will
begin counting down.
