Blaze EMS-2 Operating Manual
10.3.2 RPM Input Dipswitch settings
Setting dipswitch 5 to the "ON" position (default) enables a high frequency filter in the RPM 1
signal path.
Setting dipswitch 6 to the "ON" position (default) enables a high frequency filter in the RPM 2
signal path.
Some installations (direct coupling to a Magneto device for example) will require this to be
switched "OFF". Dipswitch 1 is the closest switch to the edge of the PCB.
10.3.3 Engine RPM connection guide
Engine
Rotax 447
Connect the grey wire from the engine to the
RPM input
Rotax 503
Connect the grey wire from the engine to the
RPM input
Rotax 582
Connect the grey wire from the engine to the
RPM input
Rotax 618
Connect the grey wire from the engine to the
RPM input
Rotax 912 (S)
Connect the rev counter wires (blue/yellow and
white/yellow). One of the two wires needs to be
connected to ground (engine block) and the
other to the RPM input.
Rotax 914
Connect the rev counter wires (blue/yellow and
white/yellow). One of the two wires needs to be
connected to ground (engine block) and the
other to the RPM input.
Engines with
UMA Tach Sensor
magnetos
T1A9-1 (Slick)
T1A9-2 (Bendix)
Connect the red or orange/white wire to 12V, the
black or blue/white and braid to ground. Connect
the white (signal) to the RPM input
HKS engine
Connect the orange wire from the CDI unit to the
RPM input
MTH engine
Connect the green wire from ignition sensor to
the RPM input
Werner engine
Connect the yellow wire from ignition sensor to
the RPM input
UL Power
Connect the ECU pin 9 to the RPM input
Note: Some Rotax engines may require that a 220 ohm ballast resistor is fitted between the rpm
input and the ground terminal. This resistor should be fitted if you cannot obtain stable RPM
throughout the range regardless of any setting of the rpm counter sensitivity adjustment.
