KMPH Input |

|
from speed
sensor |
> This wire is connected to the speed
sensor unit |
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
> The input has 2 sensitivities which
are controlled by the purple wire |
|
|
||||
|
|
|
in most vehicles the signal level from
the speed sensor is greater than 2.5V |
|
|
||||
|
|
|
and this is considered the normal input
level, therefore the purple wire should |
|
|||||
|
|
|
be left unconnected. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> If the signal level from the speed
sensor is less than 2.5V the input sensitivity can |
|
|||||
|
|
|
be increased to 300mV by connecting the
purple wire to ground. |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> If the HI level signal provided by the
sensor is less than 2.5V the purple wire can be |

connected to ground to increase the
sensitivity of the yellow input. |
