SGI-5 E 

UNIVERSAL SIGNAL INTERFACE UNIT 

The Dakota Digital SGI-5 E is designed to recalibrate a speedometer signal or correct 

sinewave(AC)/squarewave(‘oc’) signal incompatibilities.  Here are some typical applications: 
 
1.  Recalibrate a high speed (32,000ppm 

– 250,000ppm) signal for an OEM speedometer.  

Do not 

use this unit to adjust a signal going to an anti-lock braking system.

 

2.  Recalibrate a low speed (32,000ppm 

– 4,000ppm) signal for an OEM or aftermarket speedometer 

or fuel injection computer. 

3.  Convert a high-speed signal found on newer GM transmissions down to a low speed signal to run 

a speedometer, cruise control, or fuel injection computer. 

4.  Convert an 8000ppm signal from an aftermarket signal generator to a 4000ppm or 2000ppm to 

run an OEM cruise control or fuel injection computer. 

5.  Convert a 16000ppm signal from a VDO Hall Effect signal generator to an 8000ppm, 4000ppm, or 

2000ppm to run a cruise control or fuel injection computer. 

6.  Convert a 4000ppm signal from an OEM transmission speed sensor or ECM output to an 

8000ppm signal for an aftermarket speedometer. 

7.  Convert an 8000ppm or 16000 ppm signal up to a high-speed 128,000ppm signal for a newer fuel 

injection computer.
