Author Topic: DTS E-175 question Stewart Anderson Expert Film Handler Posts: 105 From: Sandy, Utah /United States of America Registered: Aug 2003 posted 09-13-2004 10:26 PM                        I'm trying to hook up an old DTS E-175 to a tachometer. I don't have the manual. The E-175 has a nine pin female input for tach and the tachometer has a five pin output (I think it is two positives, two negatives and a ground). Does anyone know which wire from the tach goes to what pin on the E-175?  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

The operations manual for the E175 is quite clear on what you need to do.  |  IP: Logged Stewart Anderson Expert Film Handler Posts: 105 From: Sandy, Utah /United States of America Registered: Aug 2003 posted 09-14-2004 10:29 AM                        Daryl: as I clearly stated above "I DON'T HAVE THE MANUAL." and all I know about the tach is that it has a five pin output (2+, 2-, and a ground). Does anyone know what wire goes to what pin on the 9 pin female tach input....Daryl?  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

At least we've gone from you thinking you know what the tach outputs are to you knowing what the outputs are.  |  IP: Logged Stewart Anderson Expert Film Handler Posts: 105 From: Sandy, Utah /United States of America Registered: Aug 2003 posted 09-14-2004 12:56 PM                        Yeah, I did see that, but it looks like it only shows how to wire a reader not a tachometer.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C.

The word 'tach' is only used 40 times in the manual and sections 2, 5 and 10 (schematics) cover what you want to do.  |  IP: Logged Stewart Anderson Expert Film Handler Posts: 105 From: Sandy, Utah /United States of America Registered: Aug 2003 posted 09-14-2004 01:35 PM                        Oops, my bad....I was looking at the wrong manual! Yeah, it looks like page 5 has the information I need. Thanks Daryl.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-14-2004 07:51 PM                     Hopefully he won't hook it up wrong and blow it up, thats a very expensive shaft encoder that may not be available any longer...
