The recommended distance to the triggering is 0.75 mm to 1 mm (0.03" to 0.04") for MOTORTECH pickups. Please note that additional fine-tuning is required for every pickup position due to the different conditions of the engines.

One revolution of the pickup changes the distance as follows:

Thread

Change in distance

M12x1

1 revolution ≙ 1 mm (0.04'')

5/8"-18 UNF

1 revolution ≙ 1.41 mm (0.05'')

3/4"-16 UNF

1 revolution ≙ 1.59 mm (0.06'')

For problems with the pickup signal, refer to the section Pickup Input Errors.

 

Adjusting the pickup sensitivity

Depending on the type of impulse source (interference), it may be necessary to increase the pickup sensitivity to ensure that the resultant signal strength is sufficient for reliable operation. You can make these adjustments in the MICT. Refer to the section Engine – Pickups.

  

Aux. Pickup Supply Voltage

An auxiliary supply voltage for active pickups can be configured using the MICT. The voltage can be set in the range from 5 to 24 V and is supplied at the connections PU1 Power and PU2 Power. Refer to the section Engine – Pickups.
