వైరింగ్ ఓవర్view
The tachometer typically requires four main connections:
- Red Wire (+12V Switched Power): Connect to a switched 12-volt power source that is active when the ignition is on. This can often be found at the fuse box or an accessory circuit.
- బ్లాక్ వైర్ (నేల): Connect to a clean, reliable chassis ground point. Ensure the connection is free of paint or rust.
- Green Wire (Ignition Signal): Connect to the negative side of the ignition coil (for points or electronic ignitions) or the tachometer output terminal on an aftermarket ignition box. Consult your vehicle's service manual or ignition system instructions for the correct signal wire location.
- White Wire (Illumination): Connect to the vehicle's dash lighting circuit. This wire provides power to the internal incandescent bulb, illuminating the gauge when headlights are on.
Note: Specific wire colors may vary by manufacturer. Always refer to the wiring diagram provided with your specific tachometer model if available, or consult a professional.
Mounting the Tachometer
- Choose a suitable mounting location that provides clear visibility to the driver without obstructing the view of the road or other critical instruments.
- Use the provided mounting bracket and hardware. Secure the bracket firmly to a stable surface.
- Insert the tachometer into the bracket and tighten any retaining screws or nuts to hold it securely in place.
- Route all wiring away from hot engine components, sharp edges, and moving parts to prevent damage.

Once properly installed, the AUTO METER Autogage 2301 Tachometer will display engine revolutions per minute (RPM). The dial is marked from 0 to 8, representing 0 to 8000 RPM (x1000).
- Turn the vehicle's ignition to the "ON" position. The tachometer needle should move slightly or settle at zero.
- Start the engine. The needle will rise to indicate the current engine RPM.
- When the vehicle's headlights or dash lights are activated, the tachometer's internal incandescent bulb will illuminate the dial.
Monitor your engine's RPM to ensure it operates within safe and efficient ranges, especially during spirited driving or when shifting gears.
