Hello,
Could sombody provide the correct set up of RPM switches on RDAC XF for Odyssey 1 .

It doesn't work if the default set up was applied. Especially I need
information regarding:
1. sensitivity gain adjust RPM 1 & 2 - which position is correct in my case?
2. RPM filter - on or off ?
3. RPM ballast - on or off ?
4. RPM high gain - on or off ?

Apologies for the delay, I don't frequent Van's a lot lately - pressures of work...

With the UMA there normally is no issue - RPM filer OFF, Ballast OFF, High gain ON. Set the little trim pot somewhere in the middle. The UMA produces a nice solid signal - not critical at all.

You do have the pullup resistor installed ? That is important - it will not do anything if you have not.

A document with instructions is here:
