Shift-Lite connector must be plugged
in prior to operation. It has been left
disconnected for shipping purposes.
NOTE: This tachometer operates on standard, factory
electronic and high performance electronic
racing ignitions, such as Crane and MSD. (This
tach is NOT recommended for use on Accel’s
BEI or Laser I & II ignitions. These ignitions
require model 5215 adapter.)
NOTE: With power off the tach pointer may not always
rest at zero. This is a natural characteristic of the

in this tachometer. When the engine is started,
the pointer will position on the correct RPM.

In Tach Mode, the Tach operates as a standard tach. It displays RPM and operates the shift light.
All 4 shift points are active only when the blue wire is used. When the blue wire is not used, only
the first shift point is active. When the tach RPM is less than 3,000 RPM the tach will return to
shiftpoint 1, and hold shiftpoint 1, and the delay timer will be reset. Timer will not start again until
blue wire is activated. The shift-lite will not light after the fourth shift and will be displayed.

setpoint delay is running. Momentary 12 volts will activate the delay and shift sequence.
