Monte Busa Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 OK, so here goes - Stack UK has been completely unresponsive to multiple requests to help, so I thought I'd try you helpful chaps. I am currently re-doing the wiring system on my racer Supersport (Rover K Series, 1997) originally equipped with Stack 8100 instrumentation. I have a head scratcher:The system has a small black box (around 20mm X 20mm X 10mm) with a Stack label, and hand etched "1567" with an inline signal conditioning board and a Stack 4 way connector. Is this an accelerometer, and if so, how should it be mounted? It was mounted to the outside of a small aluminum box on the scuttle by the PO.

Klunk Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 What's the exact model of your dash (8100 is the generic series)? The model number is written on a label on the back of the dash unit. This should enable you to look up the exact features for the model. My feeling is that it's a lap timing beacon but I'm only guessing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monte Busa Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 Here's the label...ST8100 (there is an actual model ST8100), might not be that much help...hmmm. Also, it's not a beacon - the Stack in-car beacon receiver has a an IR eye and is shaped like a lipstick cannister...http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j24/Aric_Streeter/IMG_0589_zpsujaktpyh.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klunk Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Have a look here and here. The ST8100 is listed with its features. Are there any clues if you cycle through the screens?It is a strange one . Are there any infra red panels/emitters on the sensor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnv Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I'm sure my (2001 factory fitted) stack does not have that box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Mackenzie Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 My money is on an IR lap timer. Give stack a call, they helped me when I had a stack dash and needed some help.cheersIan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monte Busa Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 Does anyone have a known working e-mail and phone number for Stack? I've tried a few with no luck.Cheers, Aric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Durrant Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 In 2013 exchanged emails with Andrew English, the UK Technical Director: AEnglish@stackltd.com and also with Michael.Lutak@Stackltd.com.Good luck as communication with their customers is not their strong point!
