PART NUMBER 55120

OVERVIEW:

This is an electronic ignition tachometer with the additional function of recording the previously

attained highest RPM. Memory is retained for 20 minutes or until erased. Toggle and pushbutton

switches are provided on the front lens for memory recall and erasing of memory.

GENERAL INFORMATION:

OPERATING VOLTAGE:

11-18 VDC

INPUT SIGNAL:

Ignitions using distributor and ignition coil. These units will not work with individual

ignition coil per cylinder systems.

PROGRAMMING RANGE:

4, 6 or 8 cylinder supported.

TRANSIENT PROTECTION:

Conforms to SAE J1810 specifications for steady state and electrical transient testing.

THIS UNIT HAS BEEN REVERSE POLARITY PROTECTED

INSTALLATION:

Make all connections to the tachometer before applying power.

Connect the tachometer wiring as follows:

Red wire: Ignition voltage (Only has power when Ignition switch is ON).

Negative ground systems only.

Black wire: Ground wire.

Blue wire: Ignition input. Connect to the negative ignition coil terminal or the “tach” output

terminal on the ignition coil (if applicable).

CALIBRATION:

Setting a multi position slide switch to the number of cylinders configures the tachometer. The

switch is located under a plate on the rear of the unit and is accessible by removing two screws

(Refer to illustration).

Move the switch so that the switch handle is under the correct cylinder number shown on the

label.

The extra switch positions should not be used.

OPERATION:

Refer to Figure #3.

The memory tachometer will operate in a normal manner with the front toggle switch in the

“TACH” position and will be recording the maximum attained RPM. Changing the toggle switch

to the “MEMORY” position will move the needle to the stored RPM. Pressing the “PUSH TO

RESET” button erases the tachometer memory.

NOTE: Memory is valid for 20 minutes. Maximum RPM may be shown slower if checked after

the 20-minute period.
