Emag Tach signal

[Frank(Guest)]

Do you know if I can wire the tach signal output from my Emag/Pmag units directly to the EMS or does the signal need some form of conditioning??

Thanks

Sorry to bug you again but did you have an answer for this question?

Thanks

I can't find any information on the emag/pmag on the Internet. What kind of signal does it put out?

Good question..

Here is their website they just talk about a tach signal output...... www.emagair.com

First, I was unaware that the Emags were used in sailboats. All the references in the FAQ refer to a "tack" signal!

I didn't find any technical specs on their tach output. However, they say they can drive a normal tach, so we will probably work without any problems. You won't need to condition it, but without seeing a real waveform coming out of the mag, we would suggest you start with the 39Kohm resistor in line (provided with the EMS) and remove it only if that doesn't work.
