MyChron 5 Block Off Plate

A MyChron 5 Block Off Plate is used to seal the internal battery compartment of an AiM MyChron 5 data logger when using an external 12V power source. This prevents water and dirt from entering the unit when the battery is removed. The block off plate is typically included with an external power cable kit, which allows the MyChron 5 to be powered directly from the kart’s battery. Here’s a more detailed breakdown: Purpose: The primary function of the block off plate is to replace the MyChron 5’s internal battery when an external power source is used. External Power:Many racers prefer to power their MyChron 5 units via a 12V power cable connected to the cars battery, providing a more reliable and potentially longer-lasting power supply. Sealing the Unit:When the internal battery is removed, the block off plate acts as a seal, preventing moisture, dirt, and debris from entering the data logger’s housing. Included with Power Cable:The block off plate is often sold as part of a kit that includes the external power cable, making it a convenient package for users switching to external power. Compatibility:These kits are typically compatible with various MyChron 5 models, including the MyChron5, MyChron5S, MyChron5-2T, and MyChron5S-2T.
