RPM Sensor

I’m installing an SV-EMS with an IO-360 with 1 mag and 1 e-mag. I’ve done all of the sensors except RPM. I don’t see any RPM sensors on Van’s and just the UMA sending units on ACS. What do people do for RPM sensors?

Thanks
 
With the EMS you wire directly for RPM indication. You do not use “RPM Sensors”.

For the pMag, this is a wire between the EMS and the pMag (see the pMag install manual).

For the mag, this is a wire from the mag P lead (usually at your ignition switch) via a resistor to the EMS. The SkyView install manual has a diagram and recommended resistor value.

Page 7-47 in the Skyview installation manual. It does a fairly good job of explaining it. RPM is terminal six on the Pmag I believe, but definitely verify that in the Pmag manual too.
