Configuring the VDO Tachometer:

Before the tachometer will function prop-erly with your engine, you will need to setthe switches as shown in Diagrams C or D.

Diagram C shows how to set the switches for

Diagram DWith alternator, use this table to calculate pulses/revolution & set switches

At this point, the installation and wiringof your new VDO Programmable Tachom-eter is complete. Turn on the ignition andthe lights in the car and check to see thatthe instrument and light work properly. Ifthey don’t, re-check your wiring, referringto Diagram E.

On tachometers used with alternators only,fine tuning must be performed (after you setthe switches) by using the potentiometer onthe rear of the instrument. See Diagram F.

use with an ignition coil or electronic controlbox; Diagram D shows how to set the switcheswhen using the tachometer with an alterna-tor.

Diagram CWith Coil or ECM, use this table to set switches for number of cylinders

Use this table if yourtachometer signal comesfrom the alternator.

b) light switch (also after the fusein the fuse box);

c) good ground location;

d) location of the signal source (al-ternator, coil or other tachometersignal source).

2. Connect wiring to the appropriate ta-chometer terminals as shown in Diagram E.

Use this table if youare using your tachom-eter with an ignitioncoil or an electronictransmission controlbox.
