User manual VAISALA SS-10 INSTALLATION

[. . . ] Changes to sensitivity and divisor do NOT take effect until the SS-10 is in Run Mode (2 seconds after LEDs are off). Failure to disconnect the positive battery lead may cause damage to the sensor and related components. (this does not apply to the optional Power Adapter Cable) STEP 1: Disconnect the positive battery terminal. cable mentioned in STEP 2 above will be connected to a wire from your transmission, engine control module or differential depending on the vehicle model & year. [. . . ] STEP 11: Once the calibration is complete, you may want to seal the SS-10 enclosure with silicon sealant to prevent corrosion or water damage to the components inside. Sensitivity adjustments do not take effect until the SS-10 is in Run Mode (2 seconds after the LEDS are off). STEP 1: If a splice clip or quick connector clip was used in the installation, re-splice the wire or solder the wire in. STEP 3: Check the calibration number in the DMI so that it is not set to zero. To check the calibration number, simply turn the DMI on and press the 1CAL key. STEP 4: To increase sensitivity, follow these steps: a) Put the SS-10 in Adjust Mode (to enter Adjust Mode, press and release any push button SW1- SW6). e) If you increased sensitivity to the maximum setting of "9" and the DMI is still not counting, you should set the sensitivity setting back to the factory default of "3". Leaving the sensitivity setting at maximum may result in erroneous counting once the problem is resolved. STEP 5: At this point, you will want to do a "tap test" on the Nu-Metrics equipment. To do this, power on the DMI and make sure the DMI is in "RUN" mode. To perform a "TAP" test, the SS-10 must be in Adjust Mode (to enter Adjust Mode, press and release any push button SW1SW6). When the LEDs are on, press and hold SW6 until the LEDs rotate clockwise. This test verifies that the connection from the SS-10 to the DMI is correct. STEP 6: If none of the above steps have fixed the problem, the possibility exists that your vehicle's speed sensor wires have been swapped, you have not interfaced to the sensor properly or the sensor is not receiving a signal from the vehicle speed sensor. Monday - Friday; 8 am to 5pm EST. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 2 If your DMI is counting at an undesired time or all the time, engine noise or electrical interference may be causing the problem. Depending on vehicle model and connection, adjusting the SS-10 sensitivity may be necessary. Ideally, the sensitivity adjustment is such that the DMI counts at very low speeds and never counts erroneously. Counting at idle, after stopping or erratic counting while driving (which the DMI would display as AEC) are examples of the sensitivity being too high. Rerouting cables and/or lowering sensitivity should resolve the problem. If you did not hook up the positive & negative leads directly to the battery it may lead to this problem. [. . . ] Please refer to the calibration instructions in the Nitestar manual.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 1 If your DMI seems to be working correctly, but will not count at all, this could be a very easy problem to correct. [. . . ]
