This gauge comes with alternative background colours in black or blue which can be toggled using the [S6] button. This also toggles the black/blue background on our other gauges with the same feature so they are in sync.

 

This gauge will switch off automatically when the aircraft bus voltage drops to zero or if the aircraft bus voltage drops below FG_GLOBAL_MIN_VOLTAGE value if set.
