, can tell me what is the meaning of speed pulses? Cant seem to google anything on it.
NO IDEA...
What setting to set on the zd for speed pulse on the es5?
NO IDEA...
Also, whats the maximum water and oil temperature that should not be exceeded?
WATER temp max for alarm to go off - depends on your pressure cap rating on the radiator. stock is 1.1bar when your fan kicks in it's around 105 degrees C. if using 1.3 bar radiator cap, temp can go up to 108 degrees C before fan comes on... safe to set your water to 115 degrees C for the alarm to sound for water temp.
yes water boils at 100degrees C under 1bar (normal pressure) but your radiator is able to do more than 1 bar... so boiling temp is higher... yes, physics help...
Oil temp can go much higher as you are using fully synthetic oils. check your oil max temp on the bottle/ratings chart and you you can use that to set alarm... usually put at 130 degrees C -and no, oil does not boil at 100degrees C...
Whats the maximum safest oil pressure too?
you should be more concerned about low oil pressure - low oil pressure is when oil is not being 'pushed' around your engine block and parts of your engine is superheating because its not cooled and lubricated by the moving engine oil... for VTEC engines from B series engines, you need to have at least 1.5 bar pressure , below that, VTEC when activated will not work well as it is oil pressure activated, not just rpm. so no pressure means your engine will suffer a meltdown due to no oil pressure.
your oil pressure alarm is a low pressure warning, so set your oil pressure alarm to 1 bar or or 1.5 bar up to you... if it keeps going off when you are at idle, you probably don't have enough oil pressure (which during idle is ok la - VTEC is off anyways) ... but to keep from being buzzed all the time, you can set it lower to 0.8 bar... this you need to reset to 1.5 bar if you are doing track driving, as some higher G sweeping corners, the oil pressure may drop to below 1.5bar and you engine will be very very hot for some seconds...
don't worry about high... can do 10 bars during morning when engine is COLD and you go and floor the thing in traffic... no problem there... it's the low pressure that you should be more worried about.
Lastly, why there is a continuous beeping sound whenever the vehicle is stationary? What settings should i set to prevent it from beeping when stationary?
When beeping, the meter is telling you one or more parameter set for alarm has been breached. likely your oil pressure ... reset to lower as described above.
Do not ask us how to do it - you should really read your owner manual to set the upper and lower limits of your meter yourself to learn to use the instrument to properly monitor your engine's running diagnostics on heat and preseure...
in any case, prolly only a few people using ZD... and the new controller... so not many of us will know exactly how anyways...
I'm on the older type...
so what sensors did you put in anyways? only RPM and Speed??? can't be right? so at least water and oil temp, and oil pressure... did you install the int.manifold pressure sensor too? I think it requires a separate meter for that but it's the most useful one tho... hope you did put it in...
OH YAH... the above, esp temperature is just MY personal opinion and settings... those more in the know can just chip in to correct the suggested numbers and correct the factual inaccuracies... I will also learn from it. It's not the 'gospal truth' ok? I just sharing my misguided knowledge
