Attention & Tips: 2008.09.10
Static Electricity may break SimConBASE and SimConMOTION controller. Please touch to door knob or wear anti-static wrist band to release the static electricity before touch to box, USB and mini DIN connector.

Switching type AC/DC 12V DC adapter must be used. Output capacity 0.2A-4A.
We do not recommend a trans type (big and heavy old type) because output are much higher than marked on label.
Make sure by "Circuit Tester" the output voltage and pole Positive + is center before connect to SimConBASE.
Use "Surge protection" type power board for the power electricity.

Tachometer for ECU connection type only, STACK and some other tachometer which requiired hi voltage of coil connection type may needs STACK part number ST492 or our original "Signal Booster" price yen 4,500.- to work, please ask. Model name which needs Signal Booster: STACK ST200

Some tachometers include AutoMeter with shift light. They require a DC12V 4A capacity, AC adapter, for stable operation at high rpm and when the shift light is turned on. We recommend the use of "AutoMeter SUPER LITE" 12 LED type shift light, that will make for a stable operation, with 0.45A type AC adapter, which we recommend. AutoMeter's shift light can be reduced in brightness/watts by replacing with a 12V 21/5W double bulb for an automotive tail & stop bulb. Other 12V LED car accessory can be used for shift light but requiring additional wiring work.

Do not unplug the DC power plug while connected to your PC.
