KNOWS DIESEL
ISSPRO has been
associated with instrumentation for heavy duty diesels since 1949.
Our new PERFORMAX line was created especially for the diesel performance
customer.
ISSPRO'S
PERFORMAX system includes
» Stepper motor gauges with LED lighting
» Heavy duty Electronic Signal Processor (ESP)

The ESP, a required
part of the initial installation, can transmit data to as many as
17 Performax gauges. Gauges daisy chain together and snap into pods,
so they can be exchanged in minutes without tools. Each PERFORMAX
gauge kit includes sensors, harnesses and all components required
for a typical installation.

| FAQ's
about PERFORMAX |
Why
don't you plug into the OBD port instead of using sensors to gather
data?
Many of the systems monitored by PERFORMAX do not have data available
on the OBD system. In addition, some engine chip devices modify OBD
data to alter engine performance parameters. Performax collects data
at the source with ISSPRO's new enhanced accuracy sensors. What you
see on your PERFORMAX gauges is the real deal.
I’ve picked out the gauges I want, what else do I need?
For your gauges to function properly, and Electronic Signal Processor
is required in each vehicle to provide the necessary signal and inputs
to the gauge. One ESP is required to function up to 17 gauges at any
one time. Also, a lead wire needs to be specified (5' R66055 or 8'
R66088) for the Pyrometer to function. All other gauges include the
necessary wire harness to connect the sending units (Included) to
the ESP, as well as the connector necessary to connect to the daisy
chain wiring in the cab of the vehicle.
I have heard of other gauge manufacturers having early failures
of their new stepper motor lines of gauges. Since this is a brand
new product, how can I be sure it will be reliable?
The PERFORMAX system was subjected to hundreds of hours of laboratory
testing (electrical overload, temperature/humidity, and shock/vibration
per SAE J1810 and J1455). Several dozen Alpha and Beta test systems
were field tested and run for several months, tens of thousands of
miles, and dozens of dragstrip passes and sled pulls. We tested to
failure, then redesigned and tested again until we were satisfied.
Why isn't PERFORMAX less expensive?
For the same reason that a truck costs more than a bicycle. The
honest truth is that PERFORMAX is more expensive to make than most
gauge systems. PERFORMAX is a premium product, intended for the serious
diesel performance enthusiast. It uses the best technologies available,
even on the parts of the system that are not visible from the driver's
seat, like sensors.
Where is PERFORMAX made?
PERFORMAX was designed by American engineers and is made in Portland,
Oregon, right in the shadow of Mt. Hood. Most performance gauges sold
in the USA are made in China or India. Not PERFORMAX.
What exactly is a temperature compensated pyrometer?
A temperature compensated pyrometer is not affected by the temperature
in the cab. You can race in Death Valley in July and your pyrometer
will still be right on the money. A conventional pyrometer only measures
the difference in temperature between the exhaust and the gauge head,
and that can result in errors. That gauge head could be 0°F on a cold
day, and 200°F on a hot day (particularly with a dark colored truck
and interior). Does it matter to you if you're running at 1250°F or
1450°F?
How does the plug and play function of the gauges work?
Gauges daisy chain together and snap into pods. They can be exchanged
in minutes without tools. If you have a sensor connected to the ESP,
and install the corresponding gauge, the gauge will recognize its
signal and respond instantly. ISSPRO is the only gauge manufacturer
to provide this level of functionality.
What parts come with a PERFORMAX gauge?
Each PERFORMAX gauge kit includes sensors, harnesses and all components
required for a typical installation. The only exception to this is
the pyrometers. A thermocouple is included with the gauge, but the
lead wire needs to be purchased separately in order to get the right
length. Lead wires come in 2 lengths, 5’(R66055) and 8’ (R66088) to
allow for left or right bank installation without having too much
extra wire.
How many gauges can I run at one time?
PERFORMAX is designed to allow up to 17 gauges to operate simultaneously
with a single ESP. Now, does anyone really want view 17 gauges at
one time? Probably not. However, once a sensor is connected the ESP,
you can unplug one gauge and plug in the next whenever you please.
You can literally change the vehicle systems you are monitoring according
to the terrain, the way you are using your truck (freeway driving
vs. racing, for instance) or your whim.
How can 3 wires run 17 different gauges AND their backlighting?
The 3 wires are 7V regulated power, ground, and data network.
The PERFORMAX ESP reads the data from the sensors connected to it,
then sends those messages out on the network. Each gauge has a unique
ID, and knows which message to respond to.
Can I shorten the wiring to the ESP so that it is the exact
length needed for my truck?
Yes. ISSPRO sells replacement wire terminals, which can be crimped
with readily available crimpers. You can even shorten the thermocouple
leadwire, as the high-impedance circuitry of the ESP is not dependent
on a specific leadwire length.
Why aren't there any mounting studs on the back of the gauge
cases?
We've noticed that many gauge pod designs do not allow conventional
gauge clamps to be used, so we designed latches into the side of the
case to allow them to "snap" into the pod. This also allows you to
pop a gauge out and swap it for a different type, without removing
the pod. It also allows you to readily rearrange your gauge positions.
Why is the lens flat, when the ISSPRO EV gauge lenses were
curved?
The curved lenses were a styling idea from a few years ago. If
you've ever run with both curved lens and flat lens gauges in your
truck, you notice how much more glare the curved lenses show. |
