3.1.10.2 Troll Solenoid Electric Cable Requirements
If Troll Solenoids
are hard-wired, (no plugs) to the Processor, the electric cable must meet the
following specifications or may be ordered from ZF Marine Propulsion Systems Miramar, LLC:
• Two-conductor, red with violet stripe and black, twisted.
• 14 AWG (#2,5 metric).
• 300V, 105 degrees C, UL VW1, stranded tinned copper wire.
• Maximum outside diameter: 0.390 inch (9,9mm).
3.1.11 Tachometer Sensors
There are two types of Tachometer Sensors available through ZF Marine Propulsion Systems Miramar,
LLC, Mechanical (p/n 8902) and Magnetic Pickup (p/n 8912). Both types provide two separate
outputs, one for the tachometer(s) and the second output provides the Processor’s tachometer signal
requirement. If a sensor other than one supplied by ZF Marine Propulsion Systems Miramar, LLC is
used, it must meet the criteria provided below for each type:
3.1.11.1 AC Coupled Sensors
• The signal must have a minimum amplitude of +/- 1.5 V (3.0 V P-P).
• The signal’s maximum amplitude must not exceed +/- 100 V (200 V P-P).
• The frequency of the signal must be no lower than 30 Hz at Idle.
• The signal’s frequency may not exceed 8 KHz at Full Throttle.
3.1.11.2 Alternator
• The pre-rectified stator AC terminal may be used as the tach source.
• The signal is inputted to the AC Coupled Sensor input.
• The signal must meet the same criteria as any AC Coupled Sensor Signal (refer to Section
Section 3.1.11.1: AC Coupled Sensors).
3.1.11.3 Point side of the Coil
• When the signal is sourced from the coil or an electronically produced tach signal (used on
some gasoline engines) the signal is connected to the AC Coupled Sensor input.
• The signal must meet the same criteria as any AC Coupled Sensor Signal (refer to Section
Section 3.1.11.1: AC Coupled Sensors).
3.1.11.4 Active Sensors (Open Collector Output)
• The sink current ability of the Sensor may be no lower than 2 mA.
• The operational current may not exceed 50 mA.
• The Sensor must have a maximum saturation voltage of 0.8 V.
• An operational voltage requirement of 9- 10 VDC.
• A minimum frequency of 5 Hz at Idle.
• A maximum frequency of 8 KHz at Full Throttle.
