I'm trying to display my 3GMF data on my Axiom 9 via an interface. I'd like to find out the actual colors of the wires from the Tach sender unit to the Tachometer.
Mike - have you already purchased the interface? I just finished a project to bring as much engine data to my NMEA2000 and NMEA0183 networks as is available. I used the Noland Engineering RS11 device, NoLand Engineering and was able to gather the following:I'm trying to display my 3GMF data on my Axiom 9 via an interface.

I would be grateful if you or Mike would share some details on sensors and other details you might have, my Tach is dead and this is a project I want to complete anyways so I would also like to tackle project this fall.This what the data looks like on my Raymarine display. There is a bit of calibration involved and you have to purchase very specific sensors, but it's not a bad project. I'm happy to share all the details of the installation and calibration if it would help you and others.
I documented the project here. Feel free to ask any questions after reading the projectI would be grateful if you or Mike would share some details on sensors and other details you might have, my Tach is dead and this is a project I want to complete anyways so I would also like to tackle project this fall.
Also is there a reason you chose the NoLand RS11 over the Actisense EMU-1?
Hi Mike, I did a write-up tonight, finally, of the project. I hope your's is working out well too. We ran into a couple issues. here is the write-upI'll update the forum when I've got it working. I chose the RS11 due to price. As for your tach, check the connections on the engine tach pick up. They can pull loose and the tach will stop. I'd like to see Artey's choice of sensors also.
I chose the NoLand RS11 because it's built by an engineering company, and after reviewing all the documentation, felt it was the product the provided the most value and fit my projects needs. I found their support to be OUTSTANDING. Keith helped by providing advice and calibration values. very good support, and fast same-day responses.I would be grateful if you or Mike would share some details on sensors and other details you might have, my Tach is dead and this is a project I want to complete anyways so I would also like to tackle project this fall.

what engine are you using. Why did you opt to replace the switches? does your engine not have the extra plugs?THANKS! I'm currently installing the RS11. I replaced the oil pressure switch and water temp switches with variable output sensors. I'll be connecting the tach pickup to the RS11 tomorrow. Did you leave the tach, and idiot lights connected? I've cut them out.
Hey Mike just checking in. How is your RS11 project going??I'll update the forum when I've got it working. I chose the RS11 due to price. As for your tach, check the connections on the engine tach pick up. They can pull loose and the tach will stop. I'd like to see Artey's choice of sensors also.
