WIRING THE DIGITAL REV LIMITER
There are two types of systems which the Digital Rev Limiter can be
configured for. These are categorized as HEI and Non-HEI systems. HEI
systems are defined as; Systems which have current limiting circuitry. Non-HEI
systems include all other inductive type single coil ignitions. Determine which
system you have and follow the corresponding wiring instructions. Remember to
reconnect the battery after the installation is completed.
TROUBLE SHOOTING TIPS
The Rev Limiter does not work.
Test for operation between each step.
Check that all connections are correct. The black wire must be well
grounded and to a clean contact or surface.
Check to make sure the switches are in the correct position. Rotate the
switches back and forth then back to the proper setting.
Using a voltmeter set to 0-20 volts AC, place one lead of the meter to the
white rev limiter wire, and the other lead to a good engine ground. Start the
engine. The meter should read 2.5 volts with a tolerance of .2 volts.
Swap the yellow and orange wire. Remember to isolate the unused wire.
My tachometer is inaccurate or doesn’t work after installing the rev limiter.
Due the the accuracy of our Digital Rev Limiter, non-calibrated tachometers may
not exactly match the rev limit. If the tachometer is grossly inaccurate, or does
not operate at all, follow the steps below.
Check that all connections are correct. The black wire must be well
grounded and to a clean contact or surface.
Locate the original tachometer trigger wire. Disconnect it from it’s current
position and attach it to the rev limiter white wire.
