TACHOMETER SETUP
The control box can be set to read from 1-16 cylinder ignition signals. It can also be set
to read either 12 volt tach signals or 5 volt tach signals found on some engine computers. The
digital tachometer update rate can be adjusted between slow, mid, and fast. The rpm
warning/shift point can be adjusted from 2200 – 14800. The tachometer will read from 350 –
17,500 rpm. At rpm’s above 9990, the reading will be displayed as rpmx1000 (12,000=12.00).
You can also read the tach signal with the use of a future bus interface module (BIM).
Dakota Digital offers a BIM that will allow you to read the speed signal from an ECU if you are
installing the system in a vehicle equipped with the OBDII port or a drive train from a newer
vehicle, most 1996 and newer vehicles have this.
