Installation
Disconnect battery during installation.
Tighten nuts on backclamp only slightly more than you can tighten with your fingers.
Six inch-pounds of torque is sufficient. Over tightening may result in damage to the
instrument and may void your warranty.
Gasket cement or other adhesive is not required to secure tubing to fittings.
1.
Location: The tachometer should be located at least
18” from a magnetic compass. Some interference (erratic
operation) may be noticed on the tachometer during radio
transmissions. This will neither damage a Faria tachometer
nor affect accuracy when not transmitting.
2.
It is recommended that you use the included color
coded wire extension leads.
3.
Using a small screwdriver, SLIGHTLY depress and
turn the selector switch on the back of the tachometer to the
correct position to match the number of poles in the
alternator (see label on the side of the tachometer).
Depressing the switch too hard may cause damage to the
tachometer! Be sure the selector switch has locked into the
detent at the correct position by slightly rotating the switch
back and forth with the screwdriver. If the number of poles
is not known, consult the “Outboard Tachometer
Application” chart or call Faria
® Marine Instruments at (860)
848-9271 with make, model, HP, and year of the motor.
4.
Cut a 3-3/8” dia hole in the dash and mount the
tachometer with the backclamp supplied.
5.
If this gauge kit has been supplied with a three prong
connector, slide the connector over the three instrument
studs. Be sure the gray, yellow, and black bullets are
connected to the gray, yellow, and black wires of the main
engine harness.
6.
Connect the gray extension lead stud connector to the
positive (+) post of the tachometer and plug the bullet end
into the gray wire of the main engine harness.
7.
Connect the yellow extension lead stud connector to
the signal (SIG) post terminal of the tachometer and plug
the bullet end into the yellow wire of the main engine
harness.
8.
Connect the black extension lead stud connector to
the negative (-) post of the tachometer and plug the bullet
end into the black wire of the main engine harness.
**(WHEN A STANDARD SIDE MOUNT REMOTE
CONTROL IS USED, THE YELLOW TACH SIGNAL,
SWITCHED POWER GRAY AND BLACK GROUND
WIRES CAN BE FOUND AT THE CONTROL BOX.)
9.
Connect the GREEN/ORANGE extension lead to the
blade terminal adjacent to the twist-out light assembly to the
positive “+” side of the instrument lighting
circuit and the bullet end to the boat lighting
circuit. No separate ground is required for the
lighting. Reconnect the battery.
NOTE:
A.) To change light bulb, twist black socket
assembly one-eighth turn counterclockwise
until it pops out. Bulb pulls straight out of
assembly. It is a GE No. 194 instrument
lamp.
B.) If your Tachometer is equipped with an
hourmeter, the hourmeter will be energized
when the engine is running.
