Wiring the MTH6 Refer to Typical Wiring Diagram, below.

Operation Sequence and Adjustments

When power is applied, the MTH6 performs an LCD test displaying counting down to zero within 3 seconds. The MTH6 will perform a normal scan, and will begin to monitor engine RPM. When the unit is in

Normal Scan, it displays RPM. The display is updated internally every second.

Viewing the Elapsed Time Hours ()

1.To view the elapsed hours, press ENTER () while in Normal Scan.

2. will be displayed followed by elapsed hours.

3.To clear/reset to zero, apply a momentary ground to terminal #5. The hourme- ter cannot be reset when a speed signal is present (normal operation).

NOTE: When speed input is present the first digit and decimal point will flash. Decimal point will NOT appear after 10,000 hours have elapsed.

Pulses Per Revolution (

) Calibration

1.To view the current pulses per engine revolution, press ENTER () while

will be displayed followed by the running hours.

2.Press ENTER (). will be displayed followed by the present number of pulses per revolution. The factory setting is 60. Unit will display input fre-

quency with this setting.

3.To calculate the pulses per engine revolution () follow the instructions:

Magnetic Pickup: Determine the number of teeth on the engine’s flywheel. The number of teeth is equal to the number of pulses per engine revolution.

Battery Charging Alternator: Multiply the ratio of alternator to engine pulley diameter, times, the number of poles of the alternator divided by 2 to determine the correct pulses per engine revolution.

When the number of pulses per revolution is unknown, follow this procedure:

1. Set the pulses per revolution on the MTH6 to “60”.

2. Run the engine at a constant speed and measure the actual RPM using a hand- held tachometer or any means which measures actual RPM.

3.Read the RPM displayed on the MTH6 (this is the frequency in hertz caused by the engine speed).

4.Multiply the RPM reading on the MTH by 60, then divide by the actual RPM read by the handheld device. Set this resulting number as the pulses per revolution on the MTH6.

NOTE: If pulses per revolution are not a whole number, for example: 21.5, a setting of 21 will read slightly high and a setting of 22 will read slightly low.

4.To change the setting first remove the input signal. Press UP () to increase the value. Press DOWN () to decrease the value.

5.Once the number of pulses per revolution is set, press ENTER () to save.

is displayed indicating that the new number is saved.

6.Connect the input signal back in place (refer to typical wiring diagram at left).

Overspeed Set Point (HISP) Calibration

1.To view the current Overspeed set point, press ENTER () while the MTH6 is in Normal Scan.

2.will be displayed followed by the amount of elapsed hours.

3.Press ENTER () with elapsed time visible. will be displayed fol- lowed by the number of pulses per revolution.

4.Press ENTER (). will be displayed followed by the overspeed set point previously entered. Factory setting is 1500.

5.Press UP (), to increase the overspeed setting. Press DOWN () to decrease the setting.

6.Press ENTER (), will be displayed indicating that the new value is now saved.
