Questions & Answers

Are you going to power this by a battery or do you mean you are going to plug it into Does the battery on the device have the ability to be replaced if it has its own?

It requires an internal battery, which is not included, so it can be easily replaced. The positive and negative wire of the tachometer are hooked to the car battery, and a third wire is simply wrapped around any spark plug wire of the motor being monitored. Keep in mind to set the tachometer according to what type of motor you are monitoring.

When it comes to the signal wires, how long are they?

Due to my wire modifications, and the fact that I discarded part of it, I am unavailable to provide you with an exact answer. I had to separate the wires on my side by side UTV since the battery was in front and the motor was behind The ignition switch had to also be changed as I wanted the power to be routed through it. In my estimation, the sensor wire was approximately 30 to 36 inches in length. Providing the engine and battery are in close proximity to each other, the unit will operate (unmodified). I just wanted to point out that the device works really well. In the event the warranty was at all at risk, I do not suggest modifying the wires. I didn't want anything more than the unit costs I was willing to take the hit if I messed This is not something that I would expect the manufacturer to fix.

It reads rpm from a signal, but how does it do that?

You don't need to worry if you are going to use this in daylight! With regard to the installation of this tach, it was pretty straightforward

3/5

Lastly, connect the positive and negative wires to the battery and the tach will come on. Wrap 5 to 10 wraps of wire around the spark plug terminal and reconnect the positive and negative wires. As for the settings, they are easy to set but there is a pain in the arse to get them set up right for a single cylinder 4 stroke engine, except once they are set, it seems to repeat. As I was installing it, I thought I would use the TACH to find out whether or not it works before installing it permanently. It is a good thing I tried it as you can't really see the numbers on the tachometer with the blue LED lights. Having realized that this would be for testing purposes only, I decided that I wouldn't keep it on my computer. With a sun shield I fabricated from a scrap piece of aluminum I had around, I at least have a chance of seeing the numbers, otherwise this tach would be completely useless for It is not worth my time to buy this tachometer unless I get a bad one. In the picture the camera is pointed away from the sun, under the overhang of my garage. A sun shade is essential in the yard as you can't see it without it.
