Inputs are provided in the wiring harness for an electrical vernier potentiometer-type input. Correct installation
and programming is required for proper operation. Before beginning Custom RPM Control, follow the instructions
given in Section 6, "Remote Switch Installation and Usage" for the proper installation of the remote switches.
Also read and understand the specifications in Section 9, for the proper transfer function for custom input voltage
to engine speed RPM output. For additional programming options, refer to Section 5 of this manual.
