Fitting instructions

Speedometer

The SP500 speedometer has 5 warning lights built into the system. These are all white LED’s so you can
identify the LED’s with the coloured icons provided. The Icons are EC standard icons.

Of the 5 Indicator LED’s, two need to be switched to ground (earth) to illuminate – such as for oil
pressure or Neutral light, and three need to be switched to 12V to illuminate – such as for indicators, main
beam or lights-on.

The drawing below will indicate how the warning lights are switched.

NOTE. Acumen recommend you use one of the LED lights as a ‘lights-on’ indication. As the
Speedometer is permanently illuminated, there is no ‘lights-on’ indication.
Some countries may require to use such an indicator if the motorcycle lights can be switched off and on.

When you have decided which indicator does what, use the pre-coloured icons to indicate the
purpose of the indicator. Cut the icon from the sheet and place it on the fascia – by carefully
removing the fascia from the Acetate sheet – do not touch the adhesive with your bare hands!
