CAP8535
Universal tachometer
Universal | Wireless | Dual mode
The CAP8535 tachometer measures engine speed and temperature during emissions testing. Universal in design, it works on most vehicles – light vehicles, heavy goods vehicles and two-wheelers, both petrol and diesel – thanks to its dual measurement mode using either a battery or vibration.
- Dual RPM mode: battery and vibration
- New-generation 3D vibration sensor
- Bluetooth wireless connection
- LCD screen
- Long-life lithium battery
- Petrol and diesel engines, all vehicles

Two methods of measuring engine speed
Via the battery: the CAP8535 connects to the vehicle’s battery (9 to 30 V DC). Via vibration: the new-generation 3D sensor measures engine speed based on engine vibrations. The operator selects the method best suited to the vehicle.
Fast and wireless
The CAP8535 initialises in under 15 seconds in battery mode and in under 10 seconds in vibration mode. It transmits its measurements via Bluetooth, displays them on its LCD screen and runs on a long-life lithium battery.
For spark-ignition engines, the SSE01416 antenna measures the engine speed without contact.
