Design Technology Tiny-Tach 2A Operating Instructions page 2

The TINY-TACH
meter can
TM
be mounted in the desired
location using either sheet
metal screws or by using
double sided tape. For best
results when using tape, be
sure to clean off any dirt,
grease and oil from the
desired mounting location
using a suitable solvent such
as denatured alcohol.
Find a suitable route to run
the pick-up wire to the spark
plug wire. It is not critical
how the wire is routed. It can
be put into existing wire har-
nesses or wrapped around
and taped to metal supports.
CAUTION
KEEP WIRE CLEAR OF
EXTREMELY HOT ENGINE
PARTS SUCH AS THE
MUFFLER, AND MOVING
PARTS.
Wire damage (cuts or burns) will cause the wire to short and your TINY-TACH
covered under warranty.
The RED WIRE should be slipped over an insulated section of the spark plug wire using about 1* turns. PLEASE BE
CERTAIN YOU DO NOT WRAP THE RED WIRE TOO CLOSE TO THE SPARK PLUG THAT ENGINE VIBRATION WILL
ALLOW IT TO COME INTO DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE METAL PORTION OF THE SPARK PLUG. Most engines
have a spark plug cap and will prevent this from happening. After the connections are made, any excess wire can be coiled
up and taped to a convenient area.
* If the signal is not strong enough, you can add one wrap at a time until your signal is clear. The signal strength is controlled
by the number of wraps (too many wraps will pick up electronic noise and give a faulty reading).
