Warning Lights
The Race Dash has two built-in warning lights. One of these is
for the shift light and the other for warning the driver that an
alarm has been triggered.
As an option, you can install additional external warning lights
for these functions. External warning lights should be installed in
any position that is in the driver’s direct line of vision as they
need to be visible at all times.
Auto Meter can supply suitable external warning lights for
installation in the dashboard as well as shrouded versions that
can be mounted on top of the dashboard.
If you are using your own warning lights, ensure that the bulb
rating does not exceed 2 Watts; otherwise the Race Dash will be
damaged. If you need to use lamps greater than 2W, connect
them to relays and use the output sockets from the Race Dash to
switch these relays.
Engine Speed (RPM) Measurement
The engine speed (RPM) is measured by connecting the engine
speed wire directly to the ignition system. A single wire, with the
label ES, connects the Race Dash to the ignition system or low-
tension negative side of the coil (see warning on the next page).
