The Vega EMS-1 is a 2 1/4” universal engine monitor color display instrument. The EMS-1 contains all the necessary functionality to replace several engine monitoring instruments.
The EMS-1 light weight, small size and high level of functionality makes it an excellent choice for all types of engines.
The EMS-1 can also be interfaced via the CAN bus to an optional external RDAC unit (Remote Data Acquisition Computer). This allows for easier installation as the RDAC unit is normally mounted in the engine compartment.
