4 Preparation for installation and connection of the instrument
4.1 Required knowledge and abilities
Installing and connecting the motoscope PRO and its additional equipment requires basic
knowledge in vehicle electronics. Because the motoscope PRO can be installed on a wide range of
vehicles with different specifications and equipment it is not possible to cover all cases in this
manual. In case of doubt please consult our web site (Support and FAQ). The instrument might
also be installed by a garage.
If you don’t use the motogadget all-purpose bracket you will need a stable mounting bracket for the
instrument. The speedometer sensor is already equipped with a connecting cable (length
1.5 meters) so that the sensor can be connected to the front or rear wheel. For positioning of the
speedometer sensor you might – depending on the position – also require a self-made holding
bracket.
5 Quick start
This section provides a guide to quick installation and connection of the motoscope mini
a) Have all the required equipment like mounting brackets, push buttons, fitting screws and nuts,
screw adhesive (medium-strength), cables, cable ties, plug connectors, shrink tubing and
soldering tin ready before you start. Tools required are screwdrivers, wrenches, an Allen key
for M3 metric Allen screws, a side cutter, small pliers, soldering iron, a voltmeter and a
crimping tool. Make sure that you have got the wiring diagrams of your vehicle.
b) make sure the vehicle stand save and can not tilt during installation. Disconnect at first battery
ground cable and then battery plus cable.
c) Choose suitable positions for installing the motoscope PRO and the speedometer sensor.
Attach the motogadget mounting bracket to your vehicle or make your own bracket. Attach the
speedometer senor bracket.
d) Decide at which point all wires will be brought together in order to connect the motoscope Pro
with the power supply, speedometer sensor, ignition signal cable and the push button. Make
sure there is sufficient space for the connections.
e) Mount the instrument, the speedometer sensor and the push button to the vehicle.
f) Locate “switched plus” on the wiring of your vehicle by using a voltmeter (“switched plus”
means electricity only flows when ignition is switched on). Connect the delivered cable fuse to
switched plus and route a wire from the other end of the fuse to the chosen terminal point.
3
g) Connect a wire to the negative terminal of the ignition coil (coil terminal no 1 - which leads to
ignition box) and route the wire to the terminal point you have chosen in step c).
In case of a CDI ignition = Capacitor Discharge Ignition (used for quad, scooter, trail bikes)
you must use a motogadget ignition signal pickup unit (article no 9000001)
h) Connect all wires which meet in the terminal point (motoscope, power supply, speed sensor,
ignition coil and push button) according to the circuit diagram provided in the appendix. Use
the delivered connector kit for easy unplug of the instrument if necessary.
i) Re-connect vehicle battery plus and then battery ground. Switch ignition on.
j) Navigate to the setup menu (see Chapter 12) and adjust all necessary parameters for engine
speed, the rev. counter scale and the speedometer.
k) Start the engine and watch the rev. counter. If it works correctly, ride carefully and slowly for a
while and check the speedometer. If you do not detect any electrical or mechanical problems
continue the test drive.

11 Operation and display of functions
Operation of the device will be achieved by use of a menu push-button or by touching the lower left
display corner (right beside scale value 0 of rev scale). The touch will be detected via infrared
sensor. The sensitivity is designed for glove operation. The device may possibly not respond to
direct finger touch. The device may be actuated by raindrops. In case of a blocked touch sensor
(e.g. by rain drops) the device will disable the sensor. In this case the sensor has to be re-activated
in setup menu after removal of the obstruction.
For entering the different levels of display and setup menus, the push-button has to be actuated
four different time periods.
The instrument is equipped with a large main display and a small secondary display. The gear
display is located on the right side of the small display. There are also 4 warning lights: Turn
signals (green), high beam (blue), neutral (green) and general warning light (red). The engine
speed is displayed in the rev counter bargraph. The set scaling is displayed in tick marks and digits
at the start, middle and end position of graph. In case of present error messages or warning alerts
(e.g. oil pressure, low fuel) the message is shown on the small display; the warning light continues
flashing.
.
Push-button level 1 is used for access to the next display value of the corresponding display.

displayed. Level 1 cycles through gear 1-6, level 2 starts the measuring process of each gear
respectively - IMPORTANT: The gear has to be already in use. During measurement a 10s-
countdown is displayed; during this time no gear shift or clutch engagement must occur. Slight
acceleration or deceleration are permitted but the wheels must not slip or lock.
Test the gear shift display for accurate display of the engaged gear. When operating close to
thresholds, a wrong gear can be displayed temporarily. If the overall result does not match, the
teaching process has to be repeated. If any gear fails to be displayed properly, its teaching can be
started over at any time.
If gear ratio, tire size or impulse count of the speedometer sensor is changed, all gears have to be
thought again.
Please do not attempt to teach your gears on public roads but on an appropriately closed road.
Measurement is at your own risk.

13 Safety instructions
The motoscope provides a lot of information at one time. Users consequently require a certain
“training” period in order to recognise all the given information quickly and correctly. Please take
this into account, particularly during your first rides with the motoscope and do not distract yourself
by watching the instrument in public traffic. The user of the instrument is responsible for the correct
entry of all relevant data as well as for the adjustment of the speedometer and all other functions.
15
In particular, the fitting of the speed sensor as well as the input of all calculation factors for speed
determination must do with great care. The user is also responsible for mounting the instrument,
the sensors, and all other accessory parts to the vehicle correctly and securely.
CAUTION! DO NOT OPERATE THE INSTRUMENT WHILE DRIVING! THIS MAY CAUSE
LOOSING CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE AND WILL RESULT TO A ACCIDENT WITH
SERIOUS INJURIES OR DEATH.
