Pendennis Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 My Caterham recently acquired comes with a Stack ST8100. I am not totally sure of it's capabilities, but it has lap timer as it comes with a beacon and infrared sensor. Also a laterial acceleration sensor. Apart from normal pressure and temperature displays, could it have any other functions that I am not aware of Also, it comes with an interface ST890, would this be a RS232 fitting If so, I presume I need an old type laptop Internally, the screen suffers from condensation, is there a simple solution to curing this And finally, the tacho movement is not what I would call smooth, it is a bit nothcy, I presume this would need to go back to the factory for a service 18th century Farmhouse in Rural Somerset to let Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rj Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 The movement is done by a stepper motor, and it is definately in steps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irrelevant Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Internally, the screen suffers from condensation, is there a simple solution to curing this Hmmmm . .. aren't they filled with dry air and sealed at manufacture? If true, to have condensation, you have a cracked case or it's been opened for some reason? If it's meant to run in sealed/dry air, maybe the damp is effecting it?

david nelson Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 My display also mists up. I have looked at others any they also do this. Just thought that they all did this. Would be intreasted to hear if there is a solution to this. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pendennis Posted September 1, 2008 Author Share Posted September 1, 2008 I would of thought they should be vapour sealed just like a double glazing panel, but suppose nothing last forever. Suspect the dash would have to be re-sealed by Stack as a vacuum should be created or maybe a slight charge of nitrogen inserted prior to sealant. Anyway, thanks I shall report when sorted 18th century Farmhouse in Rural Somerset to let Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Support Team Shaun_E Posted September 1, 2008 Support Team Share Posted September 1, 2008 Mine mists up as well. It's been back to Stack recently because the tacho needle broke 😔 and they resealed it but it still mists up . The tacho is a stepper motor hence the slightly notchy movement but I've never really noticed it so maybe there is a problem with yours.
