Introduction To Tach Set-Up
1. The Pro-Stock Tach uses a menu system for configuration.
Use the arrows ( ) to scroll up and down the menu.
When you reach the bottom or top of the menu you will
automatically jump to the other end of the menu.
2. To select a menu option press the ENTER button. If at
any time you want to exit the menu you are currently
in, press the CANCEL button. This will take you back to
the TACH display and will not store the entries you have
made.
3. Press the ENTER key to store the settings you have
entered. After pressing ENTER, the only way to return
to the original settings is to return to step 1 and reset as
needed.

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
High Performance air-core meter movement used
in this tachometer. When the engine is started,
the pointer will position on the correct RPM.
NOTE: The Blue wire is used to start
the setpoint change delay and
the sequence of four shift points.
(Momentary 12 volts will activate
the delay and shift sequence.)
