Operating Permit by a special label with the code "KBA 91177" on the back side of the device.

THE GENERAL OPERATING PERMIT (ABE) IS ONLY VALID WHEN THE DE

VICE IS

INSTALLED IN TWO- OR THREE-WHEELED VEHICLES AND

THE WHEEL

CIRCUMFERENCE WHICH HAS BEEN ENTERED INTO SETUP CORRESPONDS

TO THE

ROLLING TIRE CIRCUMFERENCE GIVEN (TABLE IN APPENDIX).
THE USER IS PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR CORRECT CALCULATIONS

AND

ADJUSTMENTS CONCERNING TIRE CIRCUMFERENCE, IMPULSES PER WH

4 Preparation for installation and connection of the instrument

4.1 Required knowledge and abilities

Installing and connecting the motoscope mini and its additional equipment requires no specialist
knowledge. Because the motoscope mini can be installed on a wide range of vehicles with
different specifications and equipment it is not possible to cover all cases in this manual. In case
of doubt please consult our web site (Support and FAQ). Motoscope mini might also be installed
by a garage.

4.2 Required equipment for installation and connection

Since the motoscope mini is suitable for a variety of vehicles additional equipment might be
required to mount the instrument to a particular vehicle, for example:

• mounting bracket for instrument plus fitting screws

• mounting bracket for speedometer sensor and push button

• cables or cable extensions for power supply, ignition signal and push button connection

• assembly equipment such as cable ties, plug connectors, shrink tubing, soldering iron,

solder etc.

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 provides a guide to quick installation and connection of the motoscope mini

a) Have all the required equipment like mounting brackets, push buttons

, fitting screws

and nuts, screw adhesive (medium-strength), cables, cable ties, plu

g connectors,

shrink tubing and soldering tin ready before you start. Tools required are

screwdrivers, wrenches, an Allen key for M3 metric Allen screws, a side cutter, small

pliers, soldering iron, a voltmeter and a crimping tool.

b) Make sure that you have got the wiring diagrams of your vehicle and of the

motoscope

mini (see appendix).

c) Choose suitable positions for installing the motoscope mini

and the speedometer

sensor. Attach the motogadget

mounting bracket to your vehicle or make your own

bracket. Attach the speedometer senor bracket.

d) Decide at which point all

wires will be brought together in order to connect the

motoscope mini with the power supply, speedometer sensor, ignition signal cable

and

the push button. Make sure there is sufficient space for the connections.

e) Mount the instrument, the speedometer sensor and the push button to the vehicle.

f)

Locate “switched plus” on the wiring of your vehicle by using a voltmeter (“switched

plus” means electricity only flows when ignition is switched on).

Connect the delivered

cable fuse to switched plus and route a wire from the other end of the fuse to the

chosen terminal point.

g) Remove ground cable from battery terminal.

h) Connect a wire to the negative terminal of the ignition coil (coil terminal no 1 -

which

leads to ignition box) and route the wire

to the terminal point you have chosen in step

c).

In case of a CDI ignition = Capacitor Discharge Ignition (used for quad, scooter, trail
bikes) you must use a motogadget ignition signal pickup unit (article no 9000001)

i) Connect all wires which meet in the terminal point (motoscope, power supply

, speed

sensor, ignition coil and push button)

according to the circuit diagram provided in the

appendix. Use the delivered

connector kit for easy unplug of the instrument if

necessary.

j)

Re-connect vehicle battery and switch ignition on.

k)

Navigate to the setup menu (see Chapter 12) and adjust all necessary parameters for

engine speed, the rev. counter scale and the speedometer.

l) Start

the engine and watch the rev. counter. If it works correctly, ride carefully and

slowly for a while and check the speedometer. If you do not detect any electrical or

mechanical problems continue the test drive.
