SPECIFICATIONS:

• Gauge Type: Tachometer
• Tachometer Signal Type: Standard spark plug ignitions systems
• Compatibility: 1-12 cylinder
• Range: 0 – 10,000 RPM
• Size: 4 inches
• Hole Size: 3.95 inches (100mm)
• Internal Shift Light: Yes
• Included:
  • 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 Tachometer: Locate a suitable 3.95-inch (100mm) diameter opening on your vehicle’s dashboard or instrument panel. Insert the tachometer into the opening and secure it using the included mounting ring from the back.
2. Connect the Power and Lighting Harness: Connect the 3 ft Power & Lighting Harness to the appropriate power and ground sources in your vehicle’s electrical system. This harness also provides power for the LED illumination of the gauge.
3. Connect the Tachometer Signal Harness: Connect the 8 ft Tachometer Harness to a reliable tachometer signal source. For standard spark plug ignition systems, this is typically a wire connected to the negative (-) side of the ignition coil or a designated tachometer output from your vehicle’s ECU (Engine Control Unit). Ensure a secure connection using the 2-pin connector.
4. Calibrate the Shift Light (if needed): The shift light can be calibrated based on your engine’s optimal shift points. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for specific calibration procedures, which often involve setting the desired RPM trigger point.
5. Verify Functionality: Once all connections are made, start your vehicle and observe the tachometer’s readings as the engine RPM changes. Ensure the shift light activates at the set RPM.
