Alex Wong1697456877 Posted November 10, 2001 Share Posted November 10, 2001 Andy, Don't know the answer to your question but which Stavk rev counter did you go for? Is it one of the ST400's? Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted November 11, 2001 Share Posted November 11, 2001 Andy, If its the Stack ST200 then the connections, as per Stacks written instructions, are as follows Red wire to a switched 12 volt supply , ie kill switch Black wire to Battery Negative or same earth as the ignition system Blue wire to one side of the switch, th other side of the switch to a convenient earth point. Orange wire to the appropriate tacho signal pick up point. The backlight on the Tach is permanently on You will also have to set the numeber of cylinders the engine has as the unit works on 4, 6 or 8 cylinders, to set it do the following 1. Press and hold the switch and apply power. 2. Release the switch when the pointer has stopped resetting on the stop pin. 3. Press the switch immediately to select the number of cylinders - the pointer will move to show the number of cylinders selected e.g. press the switch 4 times for 4 cylinders ( the pointer will point to 4000rpm) 4. When the desired number of cylinders have been selected wait 3 seconds and the tacho will resume normal operation. Hope this helps Alan PS What battery do you use?

captain chaos Posted November 11, 2001 Share Posted November 11, 2001 Andy, Running the black wire direct to the earth side on the battery eliminated some interference I got a higher revs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Wong1697456877 Posted November 11, 2001 Share Posted November 11, 2001 Mine's the standard Caterham 8000rpm one. My limiter is set at 7900rpm so it's just adequate. I've toyed around with getting a ST400 but as fun as all the features would be, it's a bit on the dear side. Maybe after all the winter upgrades..... wink.gif Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
