RPM sensor mounting: RPM Input, Either one

1. Signal intensity from ignition coil is dependent on vehicle type.

2. Coil 2-5 turns around spark plug lead, with more turns creating steadily 

stronger signal, fewer turns creating weaker signal.

3. The RPM circuit is designed for most bikes, however some bikes’ signal is too 

strong if the RPM looks like much more than actual RPM and unstable, 

please connect the included 1M Ohm resistor in series to solve it.

SPEED SENSOR Mounting:

ACEWELL has several speed sensors; the unit may include one of them. If  

the model is intended to be connected to a gearbox electronic speed output to 

obtain the speed reading, no speed sensor will be included. 

Reed Speed Sensor and Magnet: 

1. This sensor is universal sensor for motorcycle, find a rotating part to install 

magnet (for example disk, sprocket or driveshaft) and a location to install 

the sensor where it can be aligned to the magnet.  

2. Align the center of the magnet to either of the sensor marking lines or the 

side of the sensor. The magnet must not travel down the body of the sensor

3. Installing the sensor parallel to the vibration direction creates optional 

anti-vibration effect. 

4. Make sure the gap between the magnet and the sensor is within 8mm.

Hall Effective Speed Sensor and Magnet:

 

1. This is universal sensor for ATV front or rear wheel installation or motorcycle 

front wheel installation. For some fitments an accessory speed sensor holder 

may need to be purchased.

2. Find a rotating part to install magnet (for example disk, sprocket or  driveshaft) 

and a location to install the sensor where it can be aligned to the magnet 

3. Align the center of the magnet to center of side face of the sensor. 

4. Make sure the gap between the magnet and the sensor is within 5m

Specific Hall sensors:

Cable drive adaptors for most bikes originally fitted with cable driven 

speedometers or milemeters are available. When using these cables it is 

necessary to divide the circumference setting by the number of rotations of the 

cable per rotation of the wheel.

Thermo Sensor and Sensor Tube:

 

1. The unit includes a water temperature sensor; you have to purchase a suitable 

water pipe temperature sensor tube to install the sensor easily. 

2. Cut the water pipe, insert the temperature tube into the pipe and secure it by 

attached pipe clamps.

3. Screw the sensor into the tube.  

4. If your vehicle is fitted with a thermostat that stops water flowing to the radiator 

when the engine is cold, you will not get a reading until the thermostat opens

Air Temperature sensor:

1. MD085-5XX series includes an air temperature for outdoor temperature 

measurement. 

2. Plug the sensor’s connector to the relative connector from main
