Where do I have to start? - RPM reading and action at certain engine speed

RaceEngineer:
Xensor also sent me the pinout of the sensor:
Black = - signal
Clear = + signal
Yellow = ground

When I have to translate this to the Arduino, I have to make the following connections I think:
Black to digital input
Clear to +5V
Yellow to ground

Could anyone confirm this? About the black one (- signal) I am not really sure I could connect this to a digital input.

Who from Xensor sent you that woeful pinout list?
Definitely not an engineer.
You need to know
Pin Gnd
Pin Signal
Pin Supply

If you talk to a "sales engineer" ask to talk to a real engineer, who has had hands on usage.
In my experience a "sales injuneer" is a very good storeman, he knows his product and how to get it to you.
An Engineer knows how it works and talks in the proper language.
