Clear Knock Warning
Audible and visual knock light warnings
Clear LCD Display
The LCD screen shows the current and maximum knock readings. A bar graph gives a clear indication at a glance.
This screen can be used as a clear knock gauge.
Easy Setup and Configuration
Simple to configure and highly accurate.
The Phormula KS-3 Knock Detector actively filters and processes engine signals using a dedicated knock microprocessor. A wide angle, clear LCD screen displays and processes these signals.
How does it work?
The KS-3 monitors engine knock levels. Additionally, it can be configured to alert the driver, via a visual and audible warning. The KS-3 can be used as a hand-held device or permanently mounted to the dashboard and is configurable for knock frequencies between 6 and 9 kHz. Also, the system includes high quality Bosch Wideband Knock Sensor, Sensor Plug, Shielded Signal Cable, Mounting Kit and Power Supply Cable.
Installation
The Phormula KS-3 Knock Detector has been designed to be easy to install, reliable and affordable. The KS-3 comes as a complete kit, containing everything necessary for installation. Included is a high quality Bosch knock Sensor, linked to the main unit via a shielded signal cable. Conveniently, installation is very simple: Mount the sensor, connect the signal cable and connect the power cable.
What is Knock?
Ultimately, knocking or detonation occurs when unburnt fuel in the combustion chamber explodes, instead of burning in a controlled manner. Moreover, when engine knock is occurring the pressure in the combustion chamber rises dramatically to levels that can destroy engine components in a few seconds.
What does engine knock sound like?
See our video clips demonstrating our products in action clearly detecting engine knock. Towards the end of the demonstration there is an audio sample of knock.
Configuration
The KS-3 is very simple to configure. The most common question we answer, relates to which frequency to select. We now have an online calculator that will estimate the knock frequency for you. Use our Knock Calculator to estimate the knock frequency of your engine.
Why should I choose the KS-3 over other Knock Detection devices?
Our goal was to develop the most advanced knock detection system available. The KS-3 has taken three years of develop in conjunction with one of the UK leading tuning companies and is the result of many hours of dyno and track testing.
