Ultralit Speedo Sensor

I am posting this here to answer a question on the Ultralite Yahoo groups, as I can't easily post pictures there.

 

I am using a Subaru wheel speed sensor as the pickup, and to do so, you must epoxy a small 1/4 to 3/8 diameter magnet to the CV joint housing to activate a signal with each revolution of the axle. I used one of those neodymium magnets which are commonly available on ebay.

 

Only one magnet is needed, as I have checked my speedo against a GPS, and the odoeter against the mile markers on the Interstate, and it is accurate.

 

After installation, the Autometer Speedo must be calibrated.I have included a pic of the calibration sheet, and a PDF if it is difficult to read in the pic.

 

Use the TWO WIRE hookup at the bottom of the page, don't worry about which one is signal and ground, it should work either way.

I could not post this pic in the original thread, so here is the installation pic.
