This helps minimize noise generated from battery chargers and alternators, and voltage drop during cranking. Pilot excessive loads Many of the outputs on the EMS PRO Controller are rated for low current, control type loads. Do not run high current loads directly to the controller. Use stranded wire for hookup Solid wire transmits vibration and is more likely to crystallize and break when it is subjected to movement.
"noisy" environments. Use shielded cable on magnetic pickup Shielded cable is recommended for connecting the magnetic pickup to the EMS PRO Controller. This helps prevent signal loss and the possible coupling of electrical interference into the relatively sensitive speed sensing circuit.
