When the monitor provides a warning, immediately check the monitor and perform the required action or maintenance as indicated by the monitor. The monitor indicator does not guarantee that the machine is in a good condition. Do not use the monitor panel as the only method of inspection. Maintenance and inspection of the machine must be performed on a regular basis. See the Maintenance Section of this Operation and Maintenance Manual. |

The monitoring system is made up of three basic interfaces, the message center, the gauges, and the keypad.
Quad Gauge Module (1) - The quad gauge module contains gauges for the engine coolant temperature, hydraulic oil temperature, engine oil pressure, and fuel tank level. For more information, refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Gauges".
Message Center (2) - The message display consists of a graphic display in order to show information that pertains to various machine functions.
Keypad (3) - The keypad has eighteen keys that are used in order to input information into the VIDS.
A warning system is also incorporated into the VIDS. The warning system is made up of an action lamp (4), alert indicator (5), and an action alarm. The VIDS monitors the condition of the machine at all times and the VIDS is designed to alert the operator of a problem.
The problem could be in more than one of the machine systems that are listed. These problems are called "Events". Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Main Menu" for further information on events.
Turn the engine start switch to the ON position.
Each gauge will sweep through the full motion. Each gauge will then show the current value of the machine condition.

Alert indicator (5) will flash briefly.
Gauge warning areas (6) will turn on for a short period of time.
Meter for universal gauge (7) will light up each green LED. The gauge will then show the current value for universal gauge.
The part numbers of the software will appear on display (8).

The message display will then show the following information:
- The current parameter for universal gauge (9)
- The current time (10)
- Amount of hours that are on the engine controller (11)
- Machine control pattern (12) that is being used
When the self test is finished, the message display will show the default display. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Vital Information Display System (VIDS)" for an explanation of the default screen.
Consult your AVSpare dealer if the self test does not function correctly.
Place the engine start switch in the START position and start the engine.

The Vital Information Display System (VIDS) provides three warning categories.
- The first warning category requires only operator awareness.
- The second warning category requires a change to the machine operation or a change to the maintenance of the machine.
- The third warning category requires immediate shutdown of the engine.
Warning Category 1 - In this category, alert indicator (5) flashes. A message will be shown on display (8). In some cases, the value of a related parameter is shown by the meter for the universal gauge. The operator must be aware of the machine condition while the operator is operating the machine. Press the OK key on the keypad in order to acknowledge all warnings. After this time period, if the abnormal condition is still present, the warning will reappear. If other warnings exist, these warnings will also be displayed on the screen after the other warnings disappear.
Warning Category 2 - In this category, alert indicator (5) and action lamp (4) flashes. Some events sound the action alarm also. A message will be shown on display (8). In some cases, the value of a related parameter is shown by the meter for the universal gauge. This warns the operator that a change in the machine operation is required to avoid possible damage to the machine system. These actions are especially important when the action alarm sounds. When the action alarm sounds, you need to take action immediately. Press the OK key on the keypad in order to acknowledge all warnings. All warnings will then be silenced for a predetermined period of time. After the time period has expired and the abnormal conditions are still present, the warnings will reappear on the display.
Warning Category 3 - In this category, alert indicator (5) and action lamp (4) flash and the action alarm sounds intermittently. A message will be shown on display (8). In some cases, the value of a related parameter is shown by the meter for the universal gauge. This warns the operator that the engine must be shut down as soon as possible to prevent possible damage to the machine and/or injury to the operator. The OK key will not acknowledge a warning with a category of three. Therefore, if the OK key is pushed nothing will happen. Do not operate the machine until the problem has been corrected.
