5 Quick start
This section provides a guide to quick installation and connection of the
motoscope mini
a) Make sure that you have all necessary materials and tools available before starting
the installation. Such materials are: an instrument mounting bracket, a pushbutton,
fitting screws and nuts, screw adhesive (medium-strength), cables, cable ties, plug
connectors, shrink-hoses and soldering tin. Necessary tools are: screwdrivers,
wrenches, an Allen key for M3 metric Allen screws, a side cutter, small pliers,
soldering iron, a voltage indicator and a crimping tool.
b) Make sure you have the wiring harness diagram of your vehicle and the terminal
location plan of the
motoscope mini
(see appendix)
c) Choose suitable positions for installing the
motoscope mini
and the speedometer
sensor. Select a point to which the cables will be routed in order to connect the
motoscope mini
, the speedometer sensor and the pushbutton. Cut and drill the
motogadget
mounting bracket for best fit or construct your own bracket. Design and
make a mounting bracket for the speedometer sensor switch and attach it to the point
you have selected.
d) Mount the instrument and sensor on the vehicle.
e) Locate “switched plus” on the wiring harness of the vehicle by using a voltage
indication device. “Switched plus” means current must not flow until electric power is
switched “on”.
f)
Remove the ground cable from battery terminal.
g) Look for the negative terminal of
one
ignition coil (primary circuit!) and route a cable
from this point to the terminal point you have chosen in stage c).
(Attention!
In the case of a genuine CDI ignition the positive terminal of the ignition
coil must be used! In such a case, please read the corresponding chapters under "CDI
ignition".)
Route cables from the voltage supply, the speed sensor, and pushbutton to their
chosen location. Then connect the cables according to the circuit diagram provided in
the appendix.
h) Re-connect the vehicle battery and turn the voltage supply “on”.
i)
Navigate to the setup menu (see Chapter 12) and adjust all necessary parameters for
engine speed, the rev. counter scale and the speedometer.
j) Start the engine and watch the rev. counter. If it works correctly, ride carefully and
slowly for a while and check the speedometer for plausibility. If you do not detect any
