SPECIFICATIONS:

• Gauge Type: Dual GPS Speedometer and Tachometer
• Speedometer Range: 0-140 km/h
• Tachometer Range: 0-8,000 RPM
• Size: 4 1/2 inch (4.5″)
• Hole Size Required: 4.20 inch (107mm) diameter
• Units: Metric (km/h)
• Included:
  • GPS Antenna with a 9.8 ft cable and male SMA connector
  • 8 ft Tachometer Harness (1 Wire 2 Pin Connector)
  • 3 ft Power & Lighting Harness

HOW TO USE:

1. Mount the Gauge: Locate a suitable 4.20 inch (107mm) diameter opening in your dashboard. Insert the gauge and secure it using the spin-lock ring.
2. Connect the Power and Lighting Harness: Connect the red wire to a switched 12V power source and the black wire to a reliable ground. Connect lighting wires if desired.
3. Install the GPS Antenna: Mount the antenna in a location with an unobstructed view of the sky. Secure and route the cable to the gauge, then attach the SMA connector.
4. Connect the Tachometer Harness: Attach the signal wire to a suitable tach source and connect the 2-pin connector to the back of the gauge.
5. Verify Functionality: Turn on the ignition. The speedometer should display readings once GPS is acquired, and the tachometer should reflect engine RPM.
