Basic connections for a DTec ‘RPM adapter’ to DYNertia3’s RPM Adapter input
‘RPM Adapter’ requires a 12VDC (9V to 18V) power supply at all times to operate. This can be from the vehicles battery
or another source. The adapters power supply ground (0V) will also need to be connected to the vehicles for some
applications (see upcoming diagrams).
Using a separate power supply battery for ‘RPM Adapter’ allows it to remain isolated from DYNertia3 and helps prevent
ignition interference from entering the DYNertia3 system.
NOTE: Use a separate power supply source for ‘RPM adapter’ unit to avoid interference issues!
We strongly suggest fitting an additional suppressed spark plug lead for testing as this is a major
source of interference in many systems!
Connections for a DTec ‘RPM adapter’ to suit spark plug wire sensing
Adjusting the sensing wires length along the spark plug lead can increase the sensitivity if not reliably triggering.
