Question 1

How to receive of the ignition pulse

Accepted Answer

・Our tachometers and hour meters receive the ignition pulse when the ignition coil fires the spark plugs.
・Put the sensor from the main unit close to a spark plug cable or clamp the included antenna lead on a plug cable.
・Set the measurement position of the engine being measured.
E.g. For a 2-cycle, 1 cylinder or 4-cycle, 2 cylinder engine: P21:42; for 4-cycle, 1 cylinder　engines that fire once/rotation as well: P21:42.
・In cases where the spark plug cables are gathered together, such as with cars, either put the sensor of the main unit close to them, or clamp the antenna lead to one on the inside of the spark plug cable bundle as shown in Photo A.

・In cases like motorcycles and outboard motors, in which the ignition coil is remote, arrange the antenna lead so it touches all the spark plug cables, as shown in Photo B.

Question 2

How to reset (initialize)

Accepted Answer

・The method of operation varies by model, so check your instruction manual.
Models PET-302R, PET-304, PET-2000DXR, PET-2100DXR, & PET-3000DXR do not have　a reset (initialize) function.

※PET-3000DXR has an hour count reset function.

　the Support Download Page, or from the Product Information Page.

Question 3

Troubleshooting

Accepted Answer

・Refer to Troubleshooting.
For any problems that are not described, please contact the store where you purchased the product or our Customer Service Center.

Question 4

To gauge a 4-cycle, 1-cylinder engine

Accepted Answer

・Normally 4-cycle, 1-cylinder engines fire once every 2 revolutions, but many engines utilize an ignition system that fires once/revolution. (many are small displacement engines)
In such cases, measure from the 2-cycle, 1-cylinder position.
・As some multi-cylinder engines act the same way, when multiple RPMs are displayed, try measuring from the 2-cycle position.

Question 5

Exchange of the battery

Accepted Answer

Only available with the PET-1200.
As the power consumption of other models is low, their batteries last a long time; when their batteries wear out, the electronic parts inside the main unit are likely to have deteriorated, so they cannot be replaced.
