Advantages of the device:

  • autonomous operation function (without connection to a standard tachometer);
  • the presence of an energy-saving mode (in case of insufficient battery charge, generator defects);
  • several modes for adjusting the brightness of the image on the display, sound accompaniment of switching regulators;
  • signaling when the set threshold is exceeded for a given parameter (violation of the speed limit, etc.);
  • the presence of an ambient temperature sensor;
  • built-in clock, stopwatch, timer and the ability to set the time to turn on the load with the required frequency.

Buyers note the good value for money on-board computer, so that even motorists who are constrained in money can purchase it.

Basic modes of operation

The user can set one of the operating modes depending on the current situation.

The main ones are:

  • Clock. They work only in the 24/7 time display format, there is a software setting.
  • Tachometer. The mode reads the revolutions of the crankshaft while the car is moving and displays the speed on the screen. The user can configure the sound signal when the set value is exceeded.
  • Voltmeter. This mode is responsible for monitoring the voltage in the on-board network of the car, notifies the driver about the output of the read parameters beyond the limits of the set range.
  • Temperature - reading the parameters of the ambient air (the value is not measured in the cabin).
  • Assessment of the battery charge level.

Changing operating modes is accompanied by sound information, which allows you not to look at the screen while driving. There is a standby function - used to save energy.

Technical specifications

The delivery set of the on-board computer includes the device itself and the user manual, which contains the technical characteristics of the device and instructions for installing and connecting the car to the electrical network.

Main technical characteristics:

ParameterValue
ManufacturerLLC Scientific and Production Enterprise Orion, Russia
Dimensions, cm12 * 8 * 6
Installation locationFront panel of a car, boat, scooter and other equipment
Power unit typeDiesel, petrol
ApplicabilityAuto and motorcycle equipment of all versions
Device weight, kg.0,14
Warranty period, months12
The device is equipped with an economical LED display that provides readability of information in all lighting modes.

The functionality of the device includes:

  • monitoring the operation parameters of the power plant - the number of revolutions per unit of time, monitoring the temperature of the motor and signaling when a specified threshold is exceeded, collecting information about the state of engine components - candles, technical fluids (oil, antifreeze, etc.);
  • measurement of speed, mileage;
  • collection of information on fuel consumption per unit of time;
  • saving information about the operation of the car for the reporting period.

Some functions may not work if the vehicle is not equipped with the ability to collect information from the control unit.

Installation on a car

The connection diagram of the device is presented in the user manual supplied with the on-board computer. The manufacturer claims that for the installation of equipment it is not necessary to contact a service station - with minimal knowledge in electrics, this can be done independently.

  • The black wire is connected to the body of the car or the negative terminal of the battery.
  • Red - to the positive terminal.
  • Blue is connected via relays or transistors to equipment that can be controlled by changing the load (thermostat, heated seats, etc.).
  • Yellow (white, depending on the configuration) is connected to the engine wiring, the connection point varies depending on the type of engine (injection, carburetor, diesel).

If it is not possible to connect the wire to the indicated place, it is connected to the cable through which the voltage passes after the ignition is turned on, which allows it to be automatically started when cranking.

As a general recommendation, all power wires are placed in insulating corrugations away from places where water can enter or heat to high temperatures.
