 Posted: Tue Jul 11, 2006 6:48 pm Post subject: Rotax Tachometer - Wiring |
 |
|
Gentlemen:
<![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]>
I am connecting the Rotax supplied electric tachometer to my Rotax 912UL engine that is in my Allegro 2000. I am confused about what I see on the electrical wiring diagram from the Rotax engine manual relative to the tachometer. The manual shows two wires coming from the engine (a blue, and a white) with a connector plug on the end. These wires came already connected to the engine. It also shows a mating connector plug with two wires leading to the tachometer. All this is fine except my tachometer has three connection points on the back numbered 1, 2, and 3. How do I make these connections? Which connects to what? I’m really confused. I’ve emailed Rotax, but have gotten no reply. Help Guys!

My guess is its an Aviasport tacho. The left top pin on the instrument
(looking from behind) is connected to +12V. The right top pin is connected
to Ground and one of the two wires coming from the engine - it doesn't
matter which one). The lower centre pin is connected to the other wire from
the engine. http://www.aviasport.com/Ingles/Tachometer/912.htm
Hope this helps.

Dave: My tach is not an Aviasport tach. There is a label on the instrument
"Teveso, Hradec Kra'love'. I suspect it is a Czech instrument, but I'm not
sure. Are the connections the same as stated in your earlier email?

Teveso appear to be the Rotax agents in Czech. The back of the instrument
you have has the same markings as the Aviasport I installed. I also know
that Aviasport produce rpm gauges for different companies and put different
lables on them. You can either give it a try with the wiring as I suggested
or try to contact Teveso for more info. Their website is
http://www.teveso.cz/ and email address motory(at)teveso.cz.
