Acewell 3100
Good afternoon,
I have managed to wire the live, clock and earth wire into the car but how do I attach the RPM input? the diagram attached
HERE shows the RPM input cable but I'm confused to as what it means, could you
please help?
Thanks everyone

Does it need to be spliced in or just wrapped over the HT lead?

The diagram says "either one"
I think that you either...
Connect to the + terminal on the low tension side of the coil
OR
Wrap a 3 to 5 turns around the High Tension lead coming out of the coil

If you are using the wrap method
Definitely just wrap NO splice, it just works like an aerial and picks up the change in magnetic field created around the lead

The Acewell diagram is not great, it should EITHER be connected to the switched side of the coil (normally negative, NOT usually +ve as shown in the
diagram), OR can be wrapped several times around an H.T. lead (most definitely NOT spliced!!!) & used as an inductive pickup. What it also
doesn't show is that there is a 1 meg ohm resistor included in the pack, if you have any instability on RPM reading, usually will show up either
at idle or at high revs if there's going to be any instability, then just add the resistor in series & that will "damp" the
signal down & give a stable reading
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.
