GENERAL INFORMATION
This electr
ic speedometer utilizes a LCD to display odometer and trip odometer mileage. Pressing and holding the Trip / Reset button for more
than two seconds , will reset the trip odometer currently being displayed. The odometer cannot be reset.
EQ UUS electric speedometers are pre-calibrated. When converting from a cable driven speedometer further calibration may not be needed if :
1. The transmission's speedometer cable take off is 1000 RPM at 60 MPH (97 km). Most vehicles meet this requirement.
2. The vehicle is equipped with a 16-pulse/revolution sender.
3. The speedometer that includes a 2-wire sender is pre-calibrated to 8 pulses/revolution to match this sender.
If the above conditions have not been met , the speedometer must be recalibrated (see calibration section ) . Also, if the vehicle's tire size and /
or differential ratio has changed, the speedometer needs to be recalibrated.
NOTES:
1.
The odometer on this speedometer will show some mileage less than 5 miles (8 km). This is a result of factory testing to ensure optimum quality.
2.
Unit may remain lit for a short period after vehicle is shut down. This is normal.
Speedometer Senders
The speedometer is designed to operate with an electrical speed sender. The speed sender signal range must be between 500 and 400,000
pulses/mile (310 and 248,500 pulses/km). Any speed sender or electronic module that meets the following two conditions can be used:
1. Pulse rate generated is proportional to vehicle speed.
2. Output voltage within the ranges listed below :
• Hall effect sender , 3-wire (5 to 16V)
• Sine wave generator, 2-wire (1.4VAC min.)
• 5V Square wave (CMOS)
Recommended – EQ UUS = = = = Hall effect sender, 3-wire 16 pulses/revolution.

A 12 V power source MUST be used to power this speedometer. A 12V motorcycle battery is a good alternative for cars without batteries.
A battery with minimum 5 amp hour rating is recommended.
Wherever possible, solder wire connections and avoid crimp-type connectors. This will minimize loose connections that could cause problems later.
Make sure you have a good ground to engine and battery negative terminal.
Wire installations should be neat and tied down to prevent tugging and fraying of wires at connections.
