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