The SIP T5 rev counter is a multi-instrument from SIP PERFORMANCE for Vespa T5 models in the look of the original analogue instruments.

Since their introduction in 2010, the SIP rev counters with speedometer have fundamentally changed the market. Functions that were previously only feasible through the insertion of numerous additional devices have now been brought together in a single instrument, and in an unobtrusive way.

The design of the T5 speedometer, with its original look, is reminiscent of the very popular T5 instruments with analogue rev counter. In addition to revolutions per minute and speed, this speedometer can also display temperature. It offers the possibility to switch between AF and EGT connection in the menu. Two small press buttons allow you to switch elegantly between the different digital displays. They are discreetly integrated into the speedometer glass. A little extra treat: Every time the engine is started, the rev counter performs a self-test and creates a touch of Grand Prix feeling. Speed, revs and fuel gauge are permanently displayed in analogue. In addition, the speedometer has two digital displays. Numerous additional functions can be displayed on them. Optionally also speed or revolutions per minute.

There are two versions of the T5 rev counter: an international one with kmh and a national one with kmh and mph. On longer journeys, another function proves useful: you can distinguish between two individual distances with driving time and average speed - perfect for distinguishing between daily and touring distances. But the total distance can also be set, so that the kilometres ridden on the old speedometer can be taken over without any problems. A special function is the gear display. The gear engaged at any given time can be read on it. To do this, the speedometer compares the number of revolutions and the speed travelled and calculates the gear ratio. This function must be learned at the beginning, as there are countless possible combinations of primary and rear gear ratios and the individual gear wheels.

NOTE

Always use spark plugs and plug caps with interference suppression.

INSTALLATION

Installing this speedometer is very easy. As with the original, the speed is determined by the speedometer cable, but you also have the option of using a speed sensor, which you can purchase as replacement parts. So if your speedometer cable is worn or broken, the display will still be reliable and functional. By the way, the speed is recorded via the light signal.

There is no risk of losing data. Thanks to an internal memory, all information remains safely backed up. The speedometers operate on 12V AC/DC, which means that no battery is required. SIP Performance/Vespatronic/Parmakit ignitions can be connected.

Conclusion: The SIP T5 rev counter  is a high-end instrument that combines speedometer and rev counter with an original look. Racer, touring pilot or inner city cowboy - everyone will appreciate the benefits.
