Input Wiring – Pickup

Example Configuration: 6+1 Trigger Disc, Active Pickup on the Camshaft

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 signals, 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 – Inputs.

   

Requirement for auxiliary supply voltage

The auxiliary supply voltage of the pickup can be set via the MICT to 8 V or 15 V (see Engine – Pickups – General). When an auxiliary supply voltage of 15 V is required, the supply voltage of the ignition controller has to be at least 16 V.
