The Mychron 5S 2T gauge is a top - notch device for kart racing. It comes with dual temperature sensors, RPM lead, GPS, and a lap timer. Compared to the first - generation Mychron 5 2T gauge, it features an upgraded, more precise GPS receiver, a faster processor, greater memory, and quicker WiFi data downloads. The high - resolution graphical display clearly shows RPM, speed, lap times, gear, two temperature readings, satellite reception, and data from connected expansions like the lambda or MC - Expansion. You can freely configure multiple display pages and select them using the 4 buttons. The display illumination can be set in 7 different colors, and its brightness is automatically adjusted by a light - sensor. Speed data is collected via the integrated GPS module, shown on the display, and can be further analyzed on a PC with additional GPS channels such as the driven line and acceleration. The screwed - on lithium battery provides up to ten hours of power and can either be charged or replaced. It can also be powered by an external battery. The MyChron 5 2T has two configurable RGB alarm LEDs and 5 RGB shift LEDs. The alarm LEDs can be assigned to any measurement, and the shift LEDs can be set in sequential, full - group, or gear - selective modes. Through the WiFi connection, you can transfer configurations, download data, or check measurements online. All sensors and cables from the MyChron4, MyChron Expansion, Lambda system, and SmartyCam are compatible with the MyChron5 2T. Key features include a freely configurable graphical display, multicolored background illumination, 5 RGB shift - lights, 2 RGB alarm - lights, lap times with up to 5 split times, a light sensor for illumination, an integrated GPS05 module, WiFi connection, 4 GB storage, a gyroscope, and a lithium battery. Technical details: RPM is tapped inductively from the ignition cable with a measuring range of 0 to 60,000 rpm. Time measurement can be triggered via infrared, manually, or using GPS. Lap times are unlimited with up to 5 split times and a measuring accuracy of 1/100 sec. Analogue channels are available only through the MyChron Expansion. There are 2 temperature inputs with different measurement capabilities for thermoelement and thermo - resistance. Two alarm LEDs alert when values exceed or fall below the set alarm levels, and temperature can be indicated in °C or °F. Speed can be gathered via the integrated GPS or the MyChron Expansion with a sensor. Gear indication is calculated from RPM and GPS speed. It has specific connectors, and the 5 shift - lights are freely configurable for each gear. Additional functions include showing the difference to the fastest lap at split times, lap time projection, WiFi connection, a light sensor for display illumination, freely configurable display indication, 2 RGB alarm - lights, freely configurable multicolored background illumination, a gyroscope, non - volatile 4 GB storage, data transfer via WiFi 802.11 or DataKey, power supply from an internal lithium battery (10 hours) or an optional external 12V battery, and free software and firmware updates over the internet. The housing dimensions are 137 x 88 x 47, the display is 94.6 x 46.1, and it weighs 340 g.
Using the Mychron 5S 2T Kart Racing Gauge is a breeze. First, power it on. You can use the internal lithium battery which lasts about 10 hours, or an external 12V battery if you prefer. When you start your kart, the gauge will start collecting data. The GPS module will gather speed and lap time information, while the temperature sensors will keep track of the temperature readings. You can customize the display pages according to your needs using the 4 buttons. Set the display illumination color to one of the 7 available options, and the light - sensor will adjust the brightness automatically. To analyze the data, connect to the gauge via WiFi. You can transfer configurations, download data, or check measurements in real - time. When setting up the alarm LEDs and shift LEDs, think about what measurements are most important to you, like RPM or temperature. You can assign the alarm LEDs to specific measurements and set the shift LEDs in different modes. For maintenance, keep the gauge clean and dry. If the lithium battery runs out, you can either charge it or swap it with a new one. Make sure to keep the connectors clean to ensure a good connection with other devices. Also, regularly check for software and firmware updates over the internet and install them for the best performance.
