Design Technology TINY TACH 2A - Connecting the Wires; Mounting Options; Wire Routing and Protection; Spark Plug Wire Connection

To Previous Page

The TINY-TACH

meter can

be mounted in the desired

location using either sheet

metal screws or by using

double sided tape. For best

results when using tape, be

sure to clean off any dirt,

grease and oil from the

desired mounting location

using a suitable solvent such

as denatured alcohol.

Find a suitable route to run

the pick-up wire to the spark

plug wire. It is not critical

how the wire is routed. It

can be put into existing

wire harnesses or wrapped

around and taped to metal

supports.

CAUTION - KEEP

WIRE CLEAR OF

EXTREMELY HOT

ENGINE PARTS SUCH

AS THE MUFFLER, AND

MOVING PARTS.

Wire damage (cuts or burns)

will cause the wire to short and

your TINY-TACH

will stop working. Wire damage is not covered under warranty.

The RED WIRE should be slipped over an insulated section of the spark plug wire using about 3* turns. PLEASE BE

CERTAIN YOU DO NOT WRAP THE RED WIRE TOO CLOSE TO THE SPARK PLUG THAT ENGINE VIBRATION WILL

ALLOW IT TO COME INTO DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE METAL PORTION OF THE SPARK PLUG. Most engines

have a spark plug cap and will prevent this from happening. After the connections are made, any excess wire can be coiled

up and taped to a convenient area.

* If the signal is not strong enough, you can add one wrap at a time until your signal is clear. The signal strength is controlled

by the number of wraps (too many wraps will pick up electronic noise and give a faulty reading.)

WARRANTY: Design Technology, Inc. warrants that for a period of one year from time of purchase it will repair or replace the TINY-TACH

without charge, if it fails to function properly due to a defect in workmanship or materials in the instrument. Damage caused to the wires

and cables by improper care or use is expressly excluded from this warranty. Used TINY-TACH

purchased through a 3rd party

reseller will be warranted at the discretion of Design Technology, Inc.

The TINY-TACH

should be returned, prepaid to:

Design Technology, Inc., 768 Burr Oak Drive, Westmont, IL 60559. (630) 920-1300 FAX (630) 920-0011.
