This is an operating manual for RPM-One along with some troubleshooting tips.

 

Operation:

 

     1. Insert the 9v battery into RPM-One.

     2. Connect the RPM-One plug to the tractor.

         - RPM-One will start automatically when it detects that a sensor is connected.

     3. Check that the battery level LED is green.

         - This indicates that the battery is OK.

     4. When the engine is started.

         - The yellow LED will blink every time a pulse is received from the sensor.

             (2 times per revolution).

     5. Hold down the MEAS button.

     6. Run the tractor at full throttle for 4-5 seconds.

     7. Release the MEAS button and hold down the MEM button.

         - The maximum RPM measured over the last 4-5 seconds will now be displayed.

 

Troubleshooting Tips:

 

No light in the green LED:

This can be due to the following:

     1. Check that all 3 wires are correctly connected in the 3-pin plug on the tractor.

     2. The sensor cable is defective.

     3. The sensor is defective.

 

The yellow LED does not flash when the engine is started:

This can be due to the following:

     1. The sensor distance is too wide.

         - Test this by holding a piece of metal in front of the sensor.

         - If the yellow LED lights up, adjust the sensor distance.

     2. Check if all 3 wires are connected in the 3-pin plug on the tractor.

     3. The sensor cable is defective.

     4. The sensor is defective.

 

Red light in the battery level LED:

         - The battery needs to be replaced.

 

RPM-One only measures half the RPM:

         - This may be because only 1 of the 2 pulses per revolution is being detected.

         - Adjust the sensor distance.

 

RPM-One counts instead of measuring RPM:

         - This is because REV is displayed instead of RPM.

         - Change this by pressing the MEAS button and then pressing the MODE button.

 

Note: Battery life is approximately 2 hours when RPM-One is connected to the tractor.

Note: The yellow tachometer included in the RPM-One kit is not standard but is modified with new software. This is done to increase the number of measurements per second to provide ultra-precise measurements. Therefore, a standard tachometer cannot be used for the system.
