You can view the peak values (tell-tales) for all the parameters.
The system provides a range of warning messages based on preset alarm
values for the following performance parameters:
1. Oil pressure
2. Oil temperature
3. Fuel pressure
4. Water temperature
5. Battery voltage
You can enable or disable the warning system for each parameter
individually.
Users Guide 1
Chapter 1. Introducing the Display System STACK ST8100 Display System
You can redefine the preset alarm value for each parameter to a value
that is more suitable for your vehicle.
The system provides a gear shift warning light that is based on an RPM
value that you define for your vehicle.
How to Use this Manual

Stack recommends that you unpack and connect the components in the
system before you install it in your vehicle. This will enable you to
familiarize yourself with operating the display and configuring it for the
vehicle in which you intend to install it.
This manual starts by taking you through the process of setting up the
system before installation, operating the digital display, configuring the
system and setting the alarm values, and installing it in the vehicle. By
the end of chapter 2, you will have set up the system so that you will be
assured that it is functioning normally. You can then read chapter 3 and
practice using its functions. Chapter 4 takes you through configuring it
for your vehicle. Chapter 5 explains how to install it in the vehicle.
Chapter 6 provides a set of trouble-shooting guidelines.
A template for the Display Module dashboard cut-out is provided in
Appendix A and a schematic diagram of the wiring harness is in
Appendix B.
Please note that this manual does not attempt to explain how to
interpret or use the information from the ST8100 Display System, as this
is very specific to the type of vehicle in which it is installed and the type
of competition in which the vehicle is engaged.

Chapter 3. Operating the Display System STACK ST8100 Display System
Chapter 3. Operating the Display System

This chapter takes you through the operation of the system so that you
can familiarize yourself with its use before you install it in the vehicle.
Switching the Display System on

You will have switched the system on already if you have followed the
instructions in the previous chapter and have just set the system up for
the first time before installing it.
When installed in the vehicle, the system is switched on when you switch
the ignition on.
When the power is first switched on, the digital display will immediately
show a "Low Oil P" warning and the alarm light will come on. The
tachometer will reset itself by moving the needle until it touches the
stop-pin, and then moving it back to the zero RPM position. Press Switch
3 to clear the warning message from the display. (Switch 2 can also be
used for this.)
The digital display panel and the analog dial face are always backlit
when the system is switched on.
If none of these actions occurs when you switch on, switch off the power
to the system and consult the section on troubleshooting in this manual.
Changing the display layers

The digital display can show three separate sets of parameters and their
values; these are called display layer 1, display layer 2, 3 and 4.
If you have the Corner Speed option, there is an additional layer, layer 5,
which displays corner speed data.
Each of the display layers can be displayed in turn by pressing switch 3.
Press switch 3 when display layer 4, or layer 5 if you have the Corner
Speed option, is being displayed in order to return to display layer 1.

Peak Values (Tell Tales)

The system can display the peak values (sometimes called ‘tell-tales’)
that have been recorded during a run for all the monitored parameters.
Peak values are updated only when the engine speed has exceeded its
"gate value" for RPM for at least one second. This allows the values to
stabilise. Blipping the engine may not be enough to update the peak
values. The gate value is a predefined RPM value that is used to control
when the system updates the peak values. This is to prevent abnormal
peak values from being recorded when, for example, the engine is either
not running, is idling, or is being warmed up.
The system stores either a maximum or a minimum value as the peak
value, depending on the parameter, as follows:
Parameter Type of Peak Gated to RPM

Value
Engine Speed (RPM) Maximum Yes
Oil Temperature Maximum Yes
Water Temperature Maximum Yes
Oil Pressure Minimum Yes
Fuel Pressure Minimum Yes
Battery Voltage Minimum Yes
Wheel Speed Maximum Yes
Displaying the Peak Values

Press and hold Switch 1 to show the peak values for the parameters
currently being displayed. Release the switch to return to the normal
display.
Users Guide 11
Resetting the Peak Values

You can reset all of the peak values, except the fastest lap time,
manually. All peak values are reset at the same time. If the engine is
running at or above its gate value when the peak values are reset, they
are set to the current value of each performance parameter.
To reset the peak values:
• Press and hold Switch 1 to display the peak values.
• While holding Switch 1, press and hold Switch 3.
• With Switch 3 held down, you will see the display revert to the
current values. The new peak values that are stored are those being
displayed when you release Switch 3.
If the engine is running below its gate value, the peak values are not
reset to the current values but are set to the following values:
Parameter New Peak Value
Engine RPM 0 RPM
Wheel speed 0 MPH or 0 kmh
Oil Pressure 999 PSI or 99.9 Bar
Fuel Pressure 999 PSI or 99.9 Bar
Oil Temperature 0C or 0F
Water Temperature 0C or 0F
Battery Voltage 26.0V
Peak Value Memory

The peak values are stored in a memory which is powered by an internal
back-up battery. They remain stored in this memory when the external
power source is disconnected from the system. The internal battery needs
to be changed every 4-5 years. An alarm is triggered when the power
from this battery drops below a safe level and the warning "MEM BATT"
is displayed.
12 Users Guide
Alarms
The Display System has built-in warnings to alert the driver when
certain parameters either exceed or fall below their alarm values. For
example, a warning is signalled if the fuel pressure falls below its alarm
value or if the oil temperature rises above its alarm value. You can
adjust the preset alarm levels when you configure the Display System.
See Chapter 4, Configuring the Display System in this manual.
Some of the warnings (see the following table) are triggered only while
the engine speed exceeds its "gate value" for RPM for at least one second.
Blipping the engine may not be enough to trigger a warning. The gate
value is a predefined RPM value that is used to control when the system
is to trigger a warning. This is to prevent abnormal warnings from being
triggered when, for example, the engine is either not running, is idling, or
is being warmed up.
(The oil pressure alarm will come on at power-up until the engine is
started and pressure exceeds the threshold set for the alarm.)
The Display System has the following built-in alarms:
Parameter Alarm is triggered Gated to
when the: RPM
Oil Temperature current value exceeds Yes
the preset value
Water Temperature current value exceeds Yes
the preset value
Oil Pressure current value drops No
below the preset value
Fuel Pressure current value drops Yes

Positioning the Display Module

Ensure that there is sufficient space behind the cut-out to allow the
wiring harness to be connected to the 19-way connector without any tight
bends to the wiring near the connector.
The Display Module must be positioned on the dashboard so that the
driver can see it, either over the steering wheel or through it.
The Display Module should be aligned so that the driver looks at it
square or from slightly above or below.
22 Users Guide
Switches
The four switches are used to control the functions of the Display System.
The normal functions of the four switches are:
Switch Functions
Switch 1 1. Show Peak Values
2. Freeze speed on "HOLD" display (optional Corner Speed feature
only)
Switch 2 1. Clear Alarm
2. Show Last Alarm
Switch 3 1. Change Display Layer
2. Clear Alarm
Switch 4 Manual Lap Marker
You can install the switches in any convenient location. When installing
the switches, you should take account of the following considerations:
• The cable for each switch is approximately 400mm in length from the
19-way military connector.
• It is important that the driver is able to reach Switch 3 easily in order
to change the display and clear warning messages after alarms. This
switch is normally fitted on the steering wheel.
• If the driver is also going to enter lap markers manually, Switch 4
should ideally be fitted on the steering wheel.
• When you configure the system, you use Switches 1 to 4 for selecting
the parameters and setting their values. These switches should be
installed so that you can reach them easily when you are viewing the
digital display.
Users Guide 23
Warning lights
The Display Module has two built-in warning lights. One of these is for
the gear-shift light and the other for warning the driver that an alarm
has been triggered.
As an option, you can install additional external warning lights for these
functions. External warning lights should be installed in any position
that is in the driver’s direct line of vision, as they need to be visible at all
times.
Stack can supply suitable external warning lights for installation in the
dashboard as well as shrouded versions that can be mounted on top of
the dashboard.
ð If you are using your own warning lights, ensure that the
bulb rating does not exceed 2 Watts; otherwise the Display
Module will be damaged.
Engine Speed (RPM) Measurement

The engine speed (RPM) is measured by connecting the engine speed
wire directly to the ignition system. A single wire from the connector
labelled ES, connects the Display System to the ignition system or low-

Pressure sensors
Fitting the pressure sensors

The Display System is supplied with two each of the following types of
pressure sensors: the Stack ST744, the ST745, or the ST746.
The ST744 pressure sensor has an M10 x 1 thread (UK, EC).

The ST745 pressure sensor has a 1/8" NPTF thread (USA).
The ST746 pressure sensor has a 1/8" BSP taper thread
Each of the above types of sensor can be used for monitoring
both oil and fuel pressures.
Installing the pressure sensors

• Position the sensors and their cables as far as possible from
all sources of intense heat and from the ignition HT leads.
• Each sensor can be either screwed in directly to the monitoring point
or fitted separately by using a suitable pressure hose to connect it to
the monitoring point.
• Do not screw the sensor directly into the engine block, as excessive
vibration from some racing engines can affect the long-term life of the
sensor.
• Do not over-tighten the sensor.
Users Guide 29
Temperature sensors
The Display System is supplied with two each of one of the following
types of temperature sensor: Stack ST 760, ST761, ST762, ST763, or
ST764:
The ST760 temperature sensor has two
terminals and a 1/8" BSP taper thread.
The ST761 temperature sensor (not normally
used) has an M14 x 1.5 thread.
The ST762 temperature sensor has an M10 x 1
thread (UK, EC versions).
The ST763 temperature sensor has one
terminal and a 1/8" NPTF thread (U.S. version,
ST763
not normally used). It makes its earth contact
through its screw thread.
The ST764 temperature sensor has two
terminals and a 1/8" NPTF thread (U.S.
version)
Each type of sensor can be used for monitoring
both oil temperature and water temperature.
If you find that you have a sensor with an
incorrect thread, please return it to Stack for
ST760 replacement.
ST761
ST762 or
ST764 Fitting the temperature sensors
Mount each temperature sensor directly in the
appropriate fluid line. Screw the sensor into a
suitable mounting boss, so that its end lies in the middle of the flow of
fluid.
• Position the sensors and their cables as far as possible from sources of
intense heat and from the ignition HT leads.
30 Users Guide
• The ST763 temperature sensor is connected by the red WT or OT wire.

The unused black wire should be tied back to the harness. If this type
of temperature sensor is to be fitted at a point between two plastic
sections of fluid line or hose where it is unlikely to have an earth
contact with a metal part of the engine, add an earth connection
between the place where the sensor is to be fitted and an earthing
point.
Users Guide 31
Wheel speed sensor (optional)

The Display System is supplied with one Stack ST670 proximity sensor
as an optional feature. This sensor is used to measure wheel speed in
order to display the vehicle's speed in MPH or km/h. The sensor provides
an electrical pulse to the system each time a ferrous object, such as a
wheel bolt, passes near to the end of the sensor. When you configure the
system, you will need to supply the circumference of the wheel and the
number of ferrous objects that will be counted for each revolution of the
wheel.
Fitting the wheel speed sensor

• Locate a suitable position for the wheel speed sensor so that one or
more ferrous objects (such as bolt heads) will pass the end of the
sensor as the wheel turns.
• If possible, choose the wheel that incurs the least amount of wheel
spin, wheel lift, or lock-up, as these will affect the speed reading.
• Avoid mounting the sensor too close to the brake disc to avoid
excessive heating.
• Make a suitably rigid bracket for the sensor and fit it onto the vehicle.
Fit the sensor to the bracket.
• Do not over-tighten the sensor.
• Adjust the distance between the end of the sensor and the target
ferrous object(s), so that the gap is nominally 1.5 ± 0.5mm (60 +/-
20thou). Make sure that no other objects pass within 4mm (3/16”) of
the end of the sensor while the wheel rotates.
• Once the system is powered up, a small LED built into the back of the
sensor will light up each time a ferrous object passes within the
defined distance from the end of the sensor.
• Position the sensors and their cables as far as possible from sources of
intense heat and from the ignition HT leads.
32 Users Guide
Lap timing sensor (optional)

The lap timing sensor is actuated by an infra-red beacon positioned at
the side of the circuit. The sensor is fixed to a rigid bracket mounted at a
convenient position on the outside of the vehicle where it is able to detect
the signals from the beacon.
It is secured by two nuts with an M18 x 1 mm thread.

This sensor must be positioned horizontally and square to the axis of the
vehicle. In order to detect the signals from the beacon, it must be sighted
outside the vehicle. It should, if possible, be positioned so that other
vehicles that are being overtaken (or are overtaking) at the moment your
vehicle passes the beacon do not block the signal.
Note that after detecting a signal, the system does not recognise any
further signals from beacons for a period of ten seconds.
Users Guide 33
Trackside Infra-Red Lap Beacon (optional)

The ST544 trackside infra-red lap beacon should be located as follows:
• As near to the start-finish line as possible
• At the same height as the on-vehicle detector
• Level, so that it emits a horizontal beam
• It must be between 2 and 30 meters (6 to 95ft) from the vehicle when
the vehicle passes it.
Avoid positioning it so that the sun is directly behind it when it is being
used.
Where the unit is to be used for lengthy periods in very hot, sunny
conditions, it should be protected by shading it from direct sunlight.
Do not allow water to be sprayed onto the transmitter lenses. During wet
conditions, fit a protective shroud over the beacon.
34 Users Guide
Power supply to Trackside beacon

The beacon operates from a 12v DC supply. A sealed lead-acid battery
with a minimum rating of 2.5 Amp/hour is recommended. This provides
about 15 hours of operation.
The condition of the battery is indicated by the colour of the LED
indicator on the front panel of the unit:
1. Green: The voltage is, at present, adequate for use
2. Red: The voltage is too low (replace the battery).
3. No Colour: Battery exhausted or disconnected.
Lateral Acceleration sensor (optional)

The lateral Acceleration sensor measures 23 mm x 23 mm x 11.5 mm. It
is fitted with a 320 mm cable to connect it to the wiring harness cable
labelled 'A'.
The most suitable place to fit the lateral Acceleration sensor is as close as
possible to the vehicle's centre of gravity.
The sensor must be positioned vertically with its side with the Stack
label facing the left side of the vehicle. The side from which its cable
emerges can be positioned at any angle.
Users Guide 35
Wiring harness
The Display Module and the sensors, switches, and external lights for
your Display System are connected together by means of the wiring
harness supplied with the system.
The wiring harness can be fitted after the Display Module and all the
sensors and switches have been installed.
This harness has been designed so that the various branches are long
enough for most single seater and saloon cars. Occasionally, an
individual branch may need to be extended or significantly shortened. If
the standard harness is totally unsuitable for your vehicle, contact Stack
for details of custom harnesses. Provided that you have chosen suitable
locations for the switches, sensors, and any external warning lights that
you are installing, you should not need to extend any of the individual
wires in the harness.
Fitting the wiring harness

When fitting the harness on the vehicle, you should observe the
following:
• Start by attaching the harness to the Display Module by connecting
the 19-way military connector.
• First position the ends of all the wires at the locations of the sensors,
lamps and switches to which each is to be connected, but do not
connect them yet.
• All wires should be as far as possible, and not less than 50mm, from
ignition HT leads and distributor caps, etc.
• When you pass any wire through a bulkhead or dashboard, fit a cable
gland into the hole so that the edge of the hole cannot chafe the wire.
• Particular care is needed when passing wires through holes in carbon
fibre, as the carbon can cut through cables very easily.
• The heatshrink sleeving around the sensor cables can be cut back, if
necessary, to enable the sensor cables to go in separate directions
earlier. It is recommended that you always leave at least 150mm of
36 Users Guide
heatshrink sleeving, to provide additional strain relief for the cable

where it enters the 19-way connector.
• Connect the wires when all the sensors are in position and you have
secured the wiring harness.
Wiring labels
See Chapter 2 if you need to check the labels used to identify the individual
cables in the wiring harness
Checks and Alarms

You should check the system to ensure that all the sensors are detecting
the correct values. You should also run the engine up to its operational
levels to check that the values displayed by the Display System are
accurate. You should then check out the alarm systems to ensure that
they are functioning correctly before going out onto the circuit.
