Trip Distance - Intellitronix DP7006 Installation Manual

Note: If doing a LS engine swap, pick up the tach signal wire from the ECM/ECU and then set the tach
switch to 4-cylinders. You will also need the Intellitronix LS Engine Swap Adapter Kit for Series 1, 2 and
3 engines. The part number is 8014LS. If you are getting the tach signal from the ECU, the resistor in
the adapter kit will help pull a stronger signal for the tachometer.
Green – Tachometer
If your vehicle has a separate ignition coil, connect the green wire to the negative (-) side of the coil –
the wire that goes to the points or electronic ignition module.
To ensure that the ignition system does not interfere with any other dashboard functions, do not run the
tachometer wire alongside any other sender or input wires. Do not use solid core spark plug wires with
this dashboard system. Solid core ignition wires cause a large amount of electromagnetic and radio
frequency interference which can disrupt the system's operation.
If your vehicle has a GM HEI ignition, connect to the terminal marked 'TACH', or, on some systems, a
single white wire with a spade terminal.
If your vehicle has an after-market ignition – some systems will connect to the TACH output terminal.
If your vehicle has a Computer controlled ignition system, consult the service manual for the wire color
and location.
If your vehicle has a magneto system, connect the tach signal wire to the negative side of the coil. Do not
connect the tach terminal to the positive (+ or high voltage) side of the ignition coil. Many
tachometers, shift lights or RPM-activated switches will not read directly from a Magneto, so your
installation may need a Magneto Signal Converter to function properly.
The default setting for the tachometer is for an 8-cylinder engine.
To change settings:
The display will stay in Settings Mode until it receives a signal from the ignition system. To program the
unit after starting the engine, shut the engine off and turn on only to the accessory position.
When in accessory mode, the settings menu will scroll through the settings menu. A light tap on the button
engages the menu system.
1. Sets # of digits in RPM display, using button, display shows: (hundreds) 8800, (tens) 8880, and
(ones) 8888.
2. Sets # of cylinders using button, display shows: 1cy, 2cy, etc.
3. Sets first digit on max RPM on gauge bar display (in thousands) using button, display shows: 1000 to
9990.

Trip Distance

A single tap of the recall button will activate the trip meter in the odometer display. A decimal point will
appear which will indicate that you are in trip meter mode. Holding the recall button will clear out the trip
distance. To return to the default odometer display, tap the recall button again. The decimal point will
disappear, indicating that you are back in the default odometer display.
