If the first light does indeed come on at or near 1 000 RPM then the default calibration value is correct If not consult the table below to determine what the calibration setting should be typically 0 5 1 2 and 4 Please note If the first light comes on at 950 RPM tacho inaccuracy this is still the 1 000 RPM point to be used in the table below To change the calibration you need to enter the calibration setting mode With the ignition off press and hold both buttons turn the ignition on and then release the buttons If it is the first time you have entered this mode you will see the first two lights are illuminated indicating the default value of 2 Press up or down to change the settings and then press both buttons to save You can re enter the calibration mode to verify your setting if you wish Test the new setting 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th caer ta ACTION DISPLAY AFTER Bee ee Light Light Light REQUIRED REQUIRED ACTION E Ie rot 10 000 20 000 ooo 05 Press Down 3 Times 1 Light flashing 8 000 0 a OL 7 3333 3 Press Up2Times SLighisOn eooo 2500 a Press UpTime tge on RPM Set Points You can set when the first light turns on and also when they flash given the default display mode The lights in between are automatically calculated This section shows how to change it When ignition is turned on the display will first show the rom display mode then shortly after the battery voltage display Press e2. 2208 rir i i Installation amp Quick Start Manual V1 4 Ecliptech Innovations Pty Ltd INTRODUCTION Welcome to your Shift I quick start guide Please take the time to read this first page It provides a good overview to the philosophy behind using a progressive shift indicator For those who cannot wait to play skip to the next page and return here at your leisure Philosophy Knowing the optimal RPM range can be particularly useful for both circuit work and on the street It can provide a reference for shifting down by indicating if your RPM is below the start of the power curve and will also indicate if your RPM is getting too high to accelerate out of the turn In addition the Shift l can be used to optimize launch control by keeping the RPM within the ideal range By indicating the section of RPM your most interested in it allows you to break out of old habits and form new ones This can increase both performance control and engine life Importantly this is achieved without taking your eyes off the road Shift 1 Shift I is a progressive gear shift and RPM range indicator The lights are user programmable to indicate a required section of your RPM the first light illuminating at the RPM you have programmed usually this will be the start of the power band and depending on the display mode selected will terminate with all lights flashing at your programmed shift point The lights in between are automat
3. The reading should be less the 10 even if ignition is turned on NOTE Do not connect Shift Il s ground wire to the frame Connect it though the wiring to ensure the unit gets a good clean ground signal which is needed to accurately read the tacho signal Finding Ignition To verify a wire is connected to ignition you need to measure the voltage with a multimeter Set the multimeter to voltage V put the black lead on the negative battery terminal and the other on the Shift l s black red wire With ignition off the voltage should be less than 0 5V With ignition on it should read 12V or almost identical to that measured by placing the red multimeter lead on the positive battery terminal If the engine is running the voltage will most likely be 13 to 15V NOTE Do not connect this wire straight to battery as it must be connected to the ignition to access the programming options TIP Although not specifically required if you later intend on calibrating the voltage refer to advanced feature section of user manual then now is a good time to write down the measurements Battery voltage at battery measure directly across battery terminals Battery voltage at Shift I measure directly at Shift wires Finding Tacho Signal To verify a wire is connected to the tacho signal you need to measure the frequency Hz with a multimeter Set the multimeter to frequency put the multimeter s black lead on the negative ba

6. ically set at equal RPM divisions Why seven lights Extensive testing determined that within your peripheral vision you can instantly and easily recognize how many of the seven lights are illuminated Any more and you need to concentrate removing your attention from the road Any less and RPM trend information is lost As you accelerate you will see each light come on providing a predictable lead up to when the ideal shift point occurs Installation Setup amp the User Manual The good news is that despite the large number of user defined settings you can tweak on your Shift I there are only two that need to be set before the unit can be used correctly This guide will cover these two settings after the installation section The User Manual other booklet provides the specific details on all the features and how to configure them One feature in the User Manual that you should be aware of is the brightness control page 8 Please make sure to adjust the brightness before using the Shift I particularly if it is too bright INSTALLATION Shift I requires only three wires to be connected Ground Ignition and Tacho Ground and ignition are commonly found at the back of the main instrument The tacho can be connected to either a digital signal from the engine controller unit ECU to the instruments tacho if available or by connecting to the low side of the ignition coil Connecting to the coil is possible for transistor typ

8. ree operation When testing the wires if possible find the connector in the wiring harness and gently probe the connector terminals Sometimes it is easier to probe from the rear of the connector Otherwise you will need to remove a small amount of insulation to test the wire If you feel inclined and can t wait to see it light up put the black wire on the negative terminal of your battery and the black red wire on the positive You won t damage it if you get them round the wrong way Motorbike manufacturers keep some level of consistency with their wiring colours as show in the table below Ecliptech may have your specific make model year on file Manufacturer Ground Ignition Tacho Ducati Black Violet or Light Blue Green Yellow or Green Grey Honda Green Black Brown or White Green Yellow Green Kawasaki Black Yellow Brown White Light Blue Suzuki Black White Orange Green or Red Yellow Yel Blue Yel Black or Black Blue Triumph Black Green Red Red Yamaha Black Light Brown or Red Yellow Yellow Black Car wiring is significantly more diverse If you don t have a wiring diagram of the cars electrics the following sections may be of use Finding Ground To verify a wire is connected to ground you need to measure it s resistance with a multimeter to the negative terminal of the battery or good earth point Set the multimeter to resistance or ohms Q setting put one lead on the negative battery terminal and the other on the wire
9. seconds the display will flash rapidly indicating a successful reset Release buttons and try again Make sure the tacho wire is properly connected to the correct wire on the vehicle If necessary try increasing the calibration value page 4 of the user manual and later increase the input sensitivity page 17 of the user manual CONFIGURING THE SHIFT I The two settings that need be set are the calibration value and the RPM set points Calibration Value Setting the correct calibration value ensures your Shift I is synchronized with the vehicle it is fitted to The RPM signal sent to the Tachometer usually a series of pulses varies greatly between different manufacturers and models Some will use two pulses per revolution some more some less therefore a calibration value setting is provided Using the correct setting is VERY important as many of the units functions are dependant on the RPM value as seen by the unit For example most functions are locked out if the RPM is above 2 200 With the wrong calibration functions may be locked out at idle The easiest way to determine the correct calibration setting is simply to just try it The unit is pre programmed for the first light on the left to illuminate when it believes the RPM is 1 000 using the default calibration of 2 Start the engine and increase the RPM slowly to check if the first light comes on at 1 000 RPM the second at 2 000 RPM third at 3 000 RPM etc
