Too much noise? How to dial-down your CRANK / CAM amplifier (NON-HALL SENSORS)

So you’ve got an unusual combination that hasn’t been done before.

In this case, you’ve added a cam sensor to an engine that has never had one…

You know you don’t have hall sensors for CRANK and CAM so you’re running our amplifier boards (As delivered).

Everything seems to be working. however you’re getting a lot of noise on one of the channels that calculates your engine speed. Your EVENT LOG VIEWER paints the picture… (No sync due to CAM sensor noise)

You’ve gone over your wiring, over your sensors and connectors – So there is 1 thing left to do!

On the CAM amplifier for this specific example, we bridged the R4 connection to add more filtering to the signal. Once this customer consulted with us, we had a solution for his unique vehicle within 30 minutes.

The results speak for themselves:

A perfect start every-time!

 

Whether its a hall sensor or not, whether its an engine that has never had a crank or cam sensor before, it is possible to get an engine speed reading electronically even for engines that have previously been mechanically governed.
