AEM wideband failsafe

Looking to integrate this into tephra but what happens at 29+ psi does anyone know? Does it stop working or will it continue to work and just not show up on the gauge? If it simply doesn't show up on the gauge i could care less.
http://www.aemelectronics.com/wideba...safe-gauge-84/

The 52mm (2-1/16”) Wideband FAILSAFE Gauge includes a Bosch 4.2LSU AFR wideband sensor for monitoring and feedback of AFR and an on-board boost sensor to read vacuum or boost pressures up to 29 PSIG. Both boost and AFR can be displayed in real time on the gauge’s face using the full color OLED screen and 24 three-color sweeping LEDs. The gauge includes a low side output for triggering a failsafe strategy in the event AFR falls outside of the operating window (example strategies below), and an RPM input to log RPM for tuning purposes.

It will just read the sensor max. I ran mine up to 32psi. Just shows up as the 29psi.

So the fact that if your at 35psi+ and your afr reads leaner than you set it at, it will still save your *** but it just wont show the correct psi on the gauge?
Or have u just gone higher than 29psi but never had a lean condition kick in at those levels to see if it did anything?

Thought I would chime in. So when you go above the 29 psi the gauge boost reading will stay at 29 however the failsafe is still monitoring further it carries those last numbers out. So for instance if you have it at 11.0:1 at 29 psi that is carried out to whatever you are running. So in the event you go leaner than 11.0:1 at 35psi it will still trigger, just wont display the psi number above 29. Hope this helps.

Yes that is exactly what i was looking for! THANKS! Too bad they designed the templates not to be backlit so you can't see any numbers at night but the center display.
