Magnets will need to be installed in front of the CV joint (covered by a rubber boot). Choose a
transmissions housing bolt (or a nearby member that can be drilled) for mounting the pick-up coil
bracket.
4 Bend and modify the bracket as needed to make the pick-up coil point at a spot on the middle of
the axel housing.
5 While holding the bracket in that position, mark the magnet position on the axle housing.
6 Cut out the space between two holes on the mounting bracket to create a slot. This will help to
adjust the space between the bracket and the magnets
7 Mount the coil bracket in the chosen position.
• If a cross member is used, drill 3/16" (0.48 cm) holes and attach with 1/4" (0.64 cm) tapping
screws.
• If a transmission bolt is used, drill the bracket as required and tighten the bolt to 25 ft-lbs
torque. Bend the bracket over the edge of the case to prevent turning.
8 Place the four magnets on the spot you marked on the drive shaft. The magnets should be
spaced evenly every 90 degrees and the flat side of the magnet should be in contact with the axle
housing.
IMPORTANT
:
Use all four magnets. Do not reduce the number of magnets.
9 Secure the magnets using epoxy and the tie strap. Make sure that the magnets are rotated so that
the tie strap sits between the raised ribs of the magnet.
10 Tighten the tie strap by placing the blade of a screwdriver against tie strap lock and use pliers to
pull on strap end. Use about 15 pounds (7 kg) of force to tighten the strap. Cut excess strap flush
and ensure that the tie strap lock will not contact the coil sensor. Ensure that the magnets are
solidly attached and will not move.
11 Re-check that the gap between the coil bolt and the magnet does not exceed 1/4” (0.64 cm).
12 Cut off the provided twisted pair wiring 6 inches from coil and splice a 2-conductor twisted pair
shielded cable with drain wire (24-20 AWG). Keep the wires tightly twisted to reduce induced noise
from the vehicle.
IMPORTANT
:
All the connection points need to be carefully soldered and protected from the
elements.
13 Drill a hole through the floor pan to pass the cable and insert a cable gland to protect the cable.
14 Run the cable to the LPR Processing Unit or the external Navigator box (if equipped) using a wire
loom to protect the wires.
CAUTION
:
Be sure wires are routed away from exhaust pipes, shift rods. or any other hot or
moving parts.
15 Connect the cable wires to the -ODO and +ODO connections (polarity not important) on the
external Navigator box, or to the NAV port of the LPR Processing Unit, depending on the hardware
you are installing.
The wires must remain twisted for noise immunity.
The magneto coil is now installed. You can lower the vehicle.
