Identify the Appropriate Signal Source: Determine which signal your diesel engine provides (alternator 'R' or 'W' terminal, crank sensor, or magnetic pulse sensor).
Mount the Tachometer: Install the 4-inch tachometer into a 3.93-inch (100mm) diameter hole in your desired location. Secure it using the appropriate mounting hardware (typically a spin-lock ring).
Connect the Wiring Harnesses:
Connect the 8 ft Hertz Tachometer Harness to the designated terminals on the tachometer and to the appropriate output signal from your diesel engine (alternator, crank sensor, or magnetic pickup).
Connect the 3 ft Power & Lighting Harness to a suitable power source (typically 12V) and ground, as well as to the tachometer for its operation and illumination (if applicable).
Use the Programming Button (for LED-lit gauges): If your model features LED illumination, use the included Gauge Programming Button to customize the lighting settings according to your preference. Consult the Speedhut documentation for specific programming instructions.
Verify Operation: Once all connections are secure, start your engine and observe the tachometer to ensure it is reading the engine's RPM accurately.
