Speedhut 2-1/16″ 4K RPM Shift-light Tachometer (R2-TC1-REV)

Description

The Speedhut 2-1/16″ 4K RPM Shift-light Tachometer (R2-TC1-REV) is a precise instrument designed to monitor the engine speed of vehicles with standard spark plug ignition systems. Its 2 1/16 inch (52mm) size allows for versatile mounting options, and it is compatible with a wide range of engines, from single-cylinder to twelve-cylinder configurations. This tachometer features a built-in shift light to aid drivers in achieving optimal shift points, and it offers the convenience of displaying measurements in both metric and standard units. Installation is straightforward with the included mounting ring and wiring harnesses.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Accurate RPM Monitoring: Provides precise readings of engine speed up to 4,000 RPM, crucial for performance and engine management.
• Integrated Shift Light: Allows users to set a specific RPM point, visually indicating the ideal time to shift gears for maximum efficiency or performance.
• Versatile Compatibility: Works seamlessly with standard spark plug ignition systems and a broad range of engine cylinder counts (1-12 cylinders).
• Dual Unit Display: Offers the flexibility to view engine speed in either metric or standard units, catering to user preference.
• Convenient Size: The 2 1/16 inch (52mm) diameter is a common and easily accommodated size for most dashboards and gauge pods.
• Complete Installation Kit: Ships with all necessary wiring harnesses and a mounting ring, simplifying the installation process.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Gauge Type: Tachometer
• Standard or Metric: Both
• Tachometer Signal Type: Standard spark plug ignition systems
• Compatibility: 1-12 cylinder
• Range: 0-4,000 RPM
• Size: 2 1/16 inch (52mm)
• Hole Size: 2.062 inches (52mm)
• Internal Shift Light: Yes
• Gauge Mounting Ring: Included
• Ships With:
• 3 ft Power & Lighting Harness – for LED Lit Gauges and Clocks
• 8 ft Tachometer Harness – for LED Lit Gauges (1 Wire 2 Pin Connector)

HOW TO USE:

1. Mount the Gauge: Secure the tachometer in a suitable location using the included mounting ring in a 2.062 inch (52mm) diameter hole.
2. Connect the Power and Lighting Harness: Attach the 3 ft power and lighting harness to a 12V power source, ground, and the vehicle’s lighting circuit (if you wish the gauge to illuminate with your headlights).
3. Connect the Tachometer Signal Harness: Connect the 8 ft tachometer harness. Typically, the signal wire will connect to the negative (-) side of the ignition coil for standard spark plug ignition systems. Refer to your vehicle’s wiring diagram for the exact connection point.
4. Set the Shift Light: Most internal shift lights have a method for setting the desired RPM trigger point. This often involves a button or dial on the gauge itself or may require a specific procedure outlined in the product manual (if available).
5. Select Display Units: If the gauge has this feature, choose whether you want the RPM to be displayed in metric or standard units, usually via a switch or setting on the gauge.
6. Verify Operation: Start the vehicle and observe the tachometer reading to ensure it is functioning correctly and accurately reflects the engine speed. Test the shift light by increasing the engine RPM to the set point.
