 |
|
Hello,
I am installing an RPM sensor that screws into one of the vent ports on my Bendix Magneto unit. Does the RPM sensor wires have to be shielded all the way to the engine analyzer? If so, I will be installing a 17 pin circular connector at the firewall that will connect all the wires for the various engine sensors (ie. oil temp, oil press, fuel flow..) including the RPM sensor. Do you lose the shielding effect if you run the shielded RPM wires through a circular connector?
Thank you
Vic

You have to carry the shield through the connector on it's own pin.

Thanks Bruce for the reply.
Unfortunately the connector that I have already mounted has no spare pin for the shielding. Could I simply connect the shielding to one of the mounting screws on the circular connector and carry it through by connecting the shielding to the nut on the other side of the mounting screw?
More importanly though is there a real requirement for the RPM sensor wires to be shielded?
Thank you in advance
Vic

You need a pin for each wire shield, so that means that if you have 4
shieled wires, you'll need a connector with 8 pins. 4 for the shields and 4
for the center conductors.
Talk to the engine monitor manufacturer about the need to shield the rpm
sensor. I don't know.
