- Pripojenia káblov:
Identify the following wires from your tachometer and connect them to the corresponding vehicle circuits:
- Red Wire (12V Switched Power): Connect to a switched 12-volt power source that is active when the ignition is on. This can typically be found at the fuse box or an accessory circuit.
- Čierny vodič (uzemnenie): Connect to a clean, chassis ground point. Ensure a good metal-to-metal connection.
- Green Wire (Ignition Signal): Connect to the negative side of the ignition coil or a dedicated tachometer output from your ignition system. Consult your vehicle's service manual for the correct tachometer signal wire location. For some electronic ignition systems, a tach adapter may be required (sold separately).
- White Wire (Illumination): Connect to the vehicle's dash lighting circuit. This will illuminate the tachometer dial when the headlights are on.
Uistite sa, že všetky pripojenia sú bezpečné a riadne izolované, aby ste predišli skratom.
- Cylinder Select (if applicable):
Some tachometers require setting the number of cylinders. Refer to the specific instructions included with your tachometer for details on how to set this, usually via dip switches or a programming button. The 6855 model is compatible with 1-12 cylinder engines, supporting 0.5-6 pulse ignition signals.
- Záverečná kontrola:
Once all connections are made, reconnect the vehicle's battery. Turn the ignition to the "ON" position and verify that the tachometer powers on and the needle moves. Start the engine and check for accurate RPM readings. Test the illumination by turning on the vehicle's headlights.
