Fitting the Engine Speed (RPM) Sensor
The engine speed (RPM) is normally measured by connecting the engine speed HT Pickup sensor directly onto the ignition system plug
lead. The sensor consists of a signal interface wired and terminated with a Mini Sure seal connector at one end and a spring clip at the
other end.
Procedure
1.
Connect Mini sure seal to the main unit harness input labelled
ES
.
2.
Route the interface cable down the steering column and under the drivers
seat until the spring clip end can reach the plug lead. Attach to the ignition lead
with the spring clip. If the cable is too long, you may shorten it by removing
the spring clip and cutting a piece off.
3.
In the event that the display shows poor RPM response, remove the spring clip
from the wire and loop the wire round the ignition lead until good signal pickup
is achieved then tape up any loose wire. Take care with the high voltages
around the ignition system, as the spring clip and wire may pick up enough
voltage to give you an unpleasant shock.
PRO-KART Installation
Remove the spring clip from the cable and strip back the insulation from the end of
the wire. Connect this wire to the engine’s Kill Switch bullet connector. To make a
satisfactory connection, either solder this wire to this connector or crimp the
wire into the bullet connector.
