Tachometer – Green
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
directly from a Magneto, so your
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.
