Connecting the electrical power to MagicSpeed
When connecting the blue and yellow cables, there are various parameters
to take into account, which are described in the following sections:
Which signal input do you wish to use (page 60)?
Do you need engine overspeed protection (page 61)?
Does your vehicle have automatic transmission (page 61)?
Does your vehicle have manual transmission (page 61)?
Where do you wish to record the speed ( Diagnostic manual)?
Where do you wish to record the engine speed ( Diagnostic manual)?
What are the voltage and frequency of the signal ( Diagnostic manual)?

Selecting the signal input
There are two ways to record a reference signal for the cruise control:
Speed signal
The travel speed signal indicates the actual travel speed.
The travel speed signal must be used for vehicles with automatic trans-
mission.
If you use the travel speed signal for vehicles with manual transmission,
you must install a deactivation system to prevent engine overspeed (see
chapter "Using engine overspeed protection" on page 61).
Engine speed signal (rpm)
The engine speed signal indicates the engine speed in rpm.
The cruise control can identify the travel speed using the engine speed
as long as you do not shift gear.
The engine speed signal is only suitable for vehicles with manual trans-
mission. You must install a switch-off system to prevent engine over-
speed (see chapter "Using engine overspeed protection" on page 61).
