2.1 Duty of Registration / Certificate / ABE

The motoscope Classic, Chronoclassic and motoscope Classic Speedo have been issued a
General Operating Permit ("Allgemeine Betriebserlaubnis", ABE) and therefore do not have to be
included in the vehicle documents. The device is identifiable as having a General Operating Permit
by a special label with the code "KBA 91262" on the back side of the device.

THE ABE IS ONLY VALID, IF THE DEVICE IS INSTALLED TO A TWO- OR THREE-WHEELED
VEHICLE AND THE WHEEL DIAMETER IS ENTERED ACCORDING TO THE TIRE
CIRCUMFERENCE IN THE SETUP (SEE TABLE IN THE APPENDIX).

THE CUSTOMER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SETTING UP WHEEL DIAMETER AND WHEEL
IMPULSE FREQUENCY AS WELL AS PROPER INSTALLATION OF THE SPEEDOMETER
SENSOR.

2.2 Advice

The motoscope is equipped with a Gore membrane to prevent of moisture entry. Nevertheless
extreme outside temperature or pressure changes in a short time duration may lead to a fogging
inside which will disappear after some minutes. This will not affect product functionality or life time.

4 Preparing Installation and Connection of the Instrument

4.1 Essential Knowledge and Skills

Installation and Connection of the motoscope classic requires basic knowledge in vehicle electrics.
Since the motoscope classic can be installed on many different vehicle platforms with different
specifications and accessories, not every particular case is covered in this manual. If in doubt,
please refer to the information offered on our web site. Another possibility would be to have the
motoscope classic installed in an authorized service center.

4.2 Required Materials and Tools

The motoscope classic is universally applicable and thus suited for many different vehicle
platforms. Thus, depending on the vehicle and mounting options chosen, some customisation and
additional hardware may be required, e. g.:

• Instrument holder and mounting screws

• Brackets for the speedometer sensor and the menu push-button

• Input cables for power, ignition signal, and push-button

• Mounting hardware such as cable ties, connectors, heat shrink tubing, soldering iron

We recommend use of wiring diagrams for electrical connection.

If you don’t use the motogadget all-purpose bracket you will need a stable mounting bracket for the
instrument. The speedometer sensor is already equipped with a connecting cable (length

1.5 meters) so that the sensor can be connected to the front or rear wheel. For positioning of the
speedometer sensor you might – depending on the position – also require a self-made holding
bracket.

5 Quick Start

This section covers installation and connection – briefly but clearly:
a) Prepare all required materials and hardware like brackets (resp. the sheet metal for

constructing them), screws, thread seal, cable/wire, connectors etc.

b) Put all tools required for the mechanical and electrical mounting of your device at the ready:

screw drivers, wrenches, soldering iron, brazing solder, multimeter etc.

c) Keep documents like the wiring diagrams for your vehicle and the motoscope classic etc. at

hand.

d) Ensure a safe and secure position of your vehicle and disconnect the ground cable from

the battery.

e) Choose adequate locations for the instrument and the speedometer sensor. Decide where

the connecting cables of instrument, indicator lights, sensors and push-buttons will join.
Allow for sufficient space for the connectors. Customise the included brackets or

manufacture your own. Mount the brackets.
f) Install the instrument, the speedometer sensor, the push-button, and the optional sensors.
g) Lead all cables (power supply, push-button, sensors, rpm input, speedometer sensor and

indicator lights) to this terminal as well and connect them to the connectors following the

wiring diagram (see appendix).
h) Reconnect the battery to the on-board system and activate the ignition.
i) Adjust the apropriate parameters for rpm meter, scale, speedometer, sensors, etc. in setup

(see respective chapter).
j) Start the engine and check the rpm meter. Carefully and slowly drive several meters and

watch the speedometer. If nothing suspicious and no mechanical or electrical problems or

peculiarities occur, you can continue your test drive.

6 Safety Instructions for Installation and Connection

• Ensure your vehicle is standing firmly on the ground before beginning installation works.

• Disconnect the connector cable from battery minus to the on-board electrical system.

• In your own interest and in the safety interest of third persons, ensure a good and solid mount

for all mounting parts.

• Make sure that your vehicle is equipped with a interference suppressing ignition system.

Absence of an interference suppression may result in damage to or malfunction of the
instrument!

7 Installation of the Instrument

Mount your device to vehicle parts that are as little as possible exposed to vibrations. Dimension
your bracket suitably sturdy. For exemplary installations please refer to our website.

A plane and tension free mounting with all 3 of the provided M4 screws is absolutely essential. For
a secure installation and to avoid ruptures to the mounting bores, the mounting screws have to be
screwed into the casing for at least 4 mm.

The maximum screw-in depth shall not be exceeded. Choose your screw length according to the
bracket. We recommend using additional washers and thread locker (medium strength). It is also
critical to adhere to the maximum torque of 2 Nm.

8 Connecting the Instrument

8.1 Notes to Cable Placement

Before placing your cables you will want to find a suitable route for them. It should stay away from
hot motor parts. Find a suitable spot for connecting cables and plugs. In most cases, similar
connecting points in the wiring harness already exist in the headlight, under the tank or in the
cockpit. Please ensure sufficient length remaining before shortening them. Keep in mind that
additional cable length will be needed to account for steering and suspension of your vehicle. All
connector cables have to be routed without kinks, tension and properly insulated. Deploy additional
insulation protection in areas of high mechanical wear. We recommend plastic cable ties for routing
and fastening your cables.
