 MA-085-XXX-XX User Manual

Thanks for purchasing the ATV/Motorcycle/scooter/vehicle computer; this manual is 

specifically designed for MA-085-XXX-XX series. MA-085-1XX/2XX series has needle 

speedometer scale, weather MA-085-3XX/4XX/5XX/6XX series has different needle 

tachometer scales, each series has different models, each model has different LED 

indicators. You may find that the photo has a set of LED indicators different from your 

computer, the photo is for reference only. 
Different series with different needle tachometer or speedometer scales are as bellows:

MA-085-21X:  210Km/H      MA-085-3XX: 6000rpm      

MA-085-26X:  260Km/H      MA-085-4XX: 9000rpm

                                            MA-085-5XX: 12000rpm

                                            MA-085-6XX: 15000rpm
The last suffix “–XX can be identified up case material of bezel as bellows:

No. suffix: Plastic material.

-AB: CNC aluminum bezel with anodizing mesh black treatment.

-CP: CNC aluminum bezel with chrome plating treatment.

FEATURES

PANEL DESCRIPTIONS

Needle tachometer or speedometer, integrated digital functions and 8 LED 

indicators for different models.

LCD displays needle speedometer, bar temperature and fuel gauges, gear 

indicator and one other function simultaneously. 

Gear indicator which calculates gear by comparing speed and RPM.

An optional air temperature sensor can measure outside temperature.   

Fuel gauge full and empty resistances are fully adjustable and it can connect to 

sender units with resistance range up to 990 ohms. In reserve mode, the fuel 

gauge is not displayed and fuel symbol lights when the input wire is connected 

to -ve. The gauge can be switched off entirely if not required.

Flexible battery warning voltage setting from 11.0 to 15.0V. 

Speedometer can show nearest 1 or 0.1 mph or km/h speed if required by user. 

E.g. 100 or 100.5.

Highly visible 3 shift warning LED indicator. 

Allows end user to adjust odometer when the odometer is less than 30km / 18.6 

miles

Universal wheel circumference setting range from 1 to 3999mm. 

Includes bracket, RPM sensing wire, hall or reed speed sensor, fitting kits, 

wiring harness, main unit sleeve and temperature sensor.  

Excellent water resistant, anti vibration structure and noise immunity design.

RPM sensor mounting: 

1. Connect either the yellow or white wire to sense the RPM signal.

2. The yellow wire can be wrapped around the spark plug lead.

     a.Signal strength from the ignition coil is dependent on coil type.

     b.Coil 2-5 turns around spark plug lead, the more turns the stronger the  

        signal. A weak signal will not show a reading on the screen whereas a very 

        strong signal will have a reading which is too high or very jittery. If the 

        reading is incorrect then try putting the 1MΩresistor which is included in the 

        box inline  in the sensor wire.

3. If the signal is still unstable, please try to connect the white wire to either the 

ECU rev counter output or to the primary side of the coil or to the pulse wire on 

an active spark plug cap. 

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.

Main Unit

Hall Effective Speed Sensor and Magnet: 

1. This is universal sensor for ATV or motorcyclefront 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 5mm. 

Specific Hall sensors:

Cable drive adaptors for most bikes originally fitted with cable driven 
speedometers or odometers  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 may  have to 
     purchase a suitable water pipe temperature sensor tube to install 
     the sensor on some bikes.  
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.
5. Custom sensors are available for carburetted bikes to replace the 
     original  sensor.

     Plug,and white wire is for signal from ECU or Ignition coil.

Shift Warning RPM

1. The function enables you to set up a shift warning RPM.
2. The yellow indicator flashes when RPM reaches 500rpm before setting value.
3. The orange indicator turns on when RPM reaches setting value. 
4. The red indicator turns on when RPM reaches 500rpm more setting value.
5. Each indicator turns off or stops flashing after you shift gear.

Km/H or MPH: Speedometer

1. Displays speed mete r up to 399.9 Km/H or 248.5 MPH.    
2. The maximum frequency of software divider is 7K Hz.

TT: Total Riding Timer
1. Calculates total riding time from the beginning of the bike.
2. TT data is stored in memory, and cannot be reset.  
HRTT: Hour Meter
1. Calculates total engine operation time since installation RESET. 
2. Count automatically begins with engine starting.
3. HRTT data is stored in memory, and cannot be reset.
       : 12/24 hour Clock
It displays 12 or 24 hour current time.  
        1 and 2: Temperature Meter 1 & 2 
1. It measures and displays from 0

-180

 / 32

-356

2. It displays -L-

 or -L-

 when temperature is lower than 0

(32

) or 

    disconnected temperature sensor, and displays -H- 

 or –H-

 when temperature 

    is over 180

 or 356

..

3. User can measure engine temperature with sensor 1 and ambient air temperature 
     with sensor 2. 
4. The bar-temperature and digits of temperature as well temperature LED indicator 
     flash when the thermo sensor detects temperature higher than the maximum 
     preset temperature.  
MAX         1&2: Maximum Temperature 1 & 2

     seconds if the SCAN is selected. The scan period is from 1 to 20 seconds. 
2. All functions will be manual operations when SCAN is switched off. 
          : Fuel Gauge
