Speedhut 3-3/8″ 8K RPM Tachometer (L3-TC3-LEG)

Description

The Speedhut 3-3/8″ 8K RPM Tachometer (L3-TC3-LEG) is an essential instrument for monitoring your engine’s performance. This gauge provides accurate real-time readings of your engine’s revolutions per minute (RPM) up to a maximum of 8,000. Designed for ease of installation and broad compatibility, it’s a valuable tool for anyone looking to keep a close eye on their engine’s operation.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Accurate RPM Monitoring: Provides precise and instantaneous readings of engine speed, allowing you to optimize performance and prevent over-revving.
• Broad Engine Compatibility: Works seamlessly with most gasoline engines utilizing standard spark plug ignition systems, supporting configurations from 1 to 12 cylinders.
• Programmable Pulse Range: Offers flexibility with a programmable pulse range from 1/2 pulse to 6 pulses per revolution, ensuring compatibility with various engine types and ignition setups.
• Easy Installation: Designed for straightforward mounting with the included gauge mounting ring, simplifying the setup process.
• Reliable Performance: Engineered to deliver consistent and accurate readings, even under demanding conditions.
• Clear Display: The 3-3/8 inch size offers a clear and easily readable display for monitoring engine speed.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Gauge Type: Tachometer
• Range: 0-8,000 RPM
• Size: 3-3/8 inch (85mm)
• Hole Size: 3.3 inches (84mm)
• Tachometer Signal Type: Standard spark plug ignition systems (compatible with tach signals over one volt)
• Compatibility: 1-12 cylinder engines
• Internal Shift Light: No
• Included: Gauge mounting ring

HOW TO USE:

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable: Ensure the vehicle’s electrical system is completely powered down for safety.
2. Choose a mounting location: Select a suitable and visible location on your dashboard or instrument panel for the tachometer.
3. Prepare the mounting hole: If necessary, create a 3.3-inch (84mm) diameter hole for the gauge to fit.
4. Connect the wiring:
   • Connect the power wire (typically red) to a switched 12V power source.
   • Connect the ground wire (typically black) to a solid ground point on the vehicle’s chassis.
   • Connect the tachometer signal wire (often yellow or green) to the appropriate signal source (negative coil terminal, coil trigger wire, or ECU tach output, depending on your vehicle’s ignition system).
   • Connect the illumination wire (if present) to the vehicle’s lighting circuit so the gauge lights up with your other instruments.
5. Mount the gauge: Insert the tachometer into the mounting hole and secure it using the included gauge mounting ring from the back.
6. Reconnect the negative battery cable: Once all wiring is securely connected, reconnect the vehicle’s negative battery cable.
7. Program the Pulses Per Revolution (PPR): Following the manufacturer’s instructions (usually involving pressing a button during power-up), set the correct PPR for your engine’s cylinder configuration. Refer to the Speedhut documentation for the appropriate PPR setting for your specific engine.
8. Test the gauge: Start your engine and observe the tachometer to ensure it is reading the RPM accurately.
