SSE01416
Non-contact tachometer antenna
Contactless | Fast | Non-intrusive
The SSE01416 antenna measures the engine speed (RPM) of internal combustion engines (gasoline, LPG, etc.) without contact: it picks up the signal emitted by the spark plug at each ignition.
When connected to the CAP8533 or CAP8535 tachometer, it installs quickly and easily. It is not compatible with diesel engines.
- RPM Mode: antenna
- Compatible with CAP8533 and CAP8535 series tachometers
- Real-time display on the tachometer or remotely
- Mounts with a magnet (built-in) or optional bracket
- 8 m cable
Description
Measure engine speed without any connections
The SSE01416 antenna picks up the electromagnetic signal emitted by the spark plug with each spark. No physical connection to the engine is required: installation is quick, safe, and non-intrusive.
When connected to the CAP8533 or CAP8535 tachometer, it measures the RPM of spark-ignition engines, both 2-stroke and 4-stroke.

Three ways to position it
- Attached to the vehicle using its built-in magnet, if the signal is strong enough
- On a tripod or optional mount, for a stable setup
- Held in the hand
Find the best position at a glance
A visual indicator displays the signal strength on the tachometer screen or in the CAP3600 software. The operator adjusts the antenna’s position until the best signal is achieved, then reads the RPM in real time.
Frequently Asked Questions about the SSE01416
Does the SSE01416 antenna work with diesel engines?
No. It picks up the signal from the spark plug and is designed for spark-ignition engines, both 2-stroke and 4-stroke. For diesel engines, the CAP8535 tachometer measures RPM via the battery or vibration.
Which devices is the SSE01416 antenna compatible with?
With the CAP8533 and CAP8535 tachometers, starting with software version 2.35. The RPM can also be displayed remotely in the CAP3600 software.
How do you mount the SSE01416 antenna?
Using its built-in magnet if the signal is strong enough, mounted on an optional stand or tripod, or simply held in the hand.
