RPM-Converter Input Cable is shipping
Aux. cable #2- the RPM Converter Cable- is shipping! This cable
can take a signal from an inductive clamp OR
the tach output from your ECU/ignition system,
and convert it to an analog signal that
is “log-able” by the LM-1. The cable can be calibrated
to the characteristics of your engine (# of pulses
per crank rotation) through a simple setup routine.
And you still have 4 screw terminals
left for connecting other inputs. Place your
orders now, as supplies are limited.

Tuning Tip: Rain and the Sensor Cable
Now that winter is coming on, we've seen a few issues with sensor
cables and rain. Basically water can create a
partial short at the sensor end of the 10' sensor
cable. We are examining ways to seal the connector,
but, in the meantime, if you're going to be tuning
in the rain, we recommend sealing the cable-side
of the connector with silicon or some other non-conductive,
water-proof material.
Until next time... Keep On Tuning!
