Gasoline Engine Tachometer
Operating Manual
• Before attaching the detector or performing wiring work, be sure to
stop the engine under measurement.
• During measurement, never get close to the engine because a part of
ROTATING OBJECT
you body or cloth may be caught.
1.Overview
The SE-1520 is a tachometer designed for gasoline engines with any number of
cylinders.
2.Operations
• Connect the signal cable of the detector (IP-292 or IP-3000) to (4) SIG IN.
• Using the switch (5), select the detector to be used: IP-292 or IP-3000.
• For the detector, clamp the battery side (positive side) of the primary lead of the
ignition coil. Note that, if the power cable is clamped in mistake, rpm measure-
ment will be disabled.
• The switch (6) is a power switch and a number-of-cylinders selector switch. When
the power is turned ON, select the number of cylinders according to the engine
under measurement. Set the switch to the same position for each of the following:
1-cylinder 2-cycle engine and 2-cylinder 4-cycle engine
2-cylinder 2-cycle engine and 4-cylinder 4-cycle engine
3-cylinder 2-cycle engine and 6-cylinder 4-cycle engine
• In addition, depending on the specification of an ignition coil, rpm may be dis-
played twice. In this case, please change a setup of the number of cylinders.
• When you turn ON the power using the switch (6), the pilot lamp (PL) (7) goes
on. When the engine starts, the indicator (IND) (8) goes on and the rpm meter (10)
indicates the engine rpm.
If selection of the number of cylinders is correct, the engine rpm can be read
directly.
• If the indicator (IND) (8) does not go on, check the connection between the detec-
tor and SIG IN (4) and detector attachment. When the IP-3000 is used, adjust the
level using LEVEL ADJUST (9).

3.OUTPUT Connection
When using the analog output (2) or pulse output (3), connect it to each instrument
using the supplied cable.
Both outputs are float-grounded and insulated from case of the the main unit.
3.1 ANALOG OUTPUT
Outputs a 0-10V analog signal with respect to 0-10,000 r/min. Connect the white
cable to the positive side and the green cable to the negative side to provide a
load of 10 kΩ or more. Be careful not to short-circuit the output.
3.2 PULSE OUTPUT
Outputs a square wave with 8ms pulse width and 5V amplitude after converting
the input signal into pulses, 1 pulse for each 2 rotations. Connect the white cable
to the positive side and the green cable to the negative side.
