Siemens VDO You Before Cutting Any Holes!

CAUTION!!!Tachometer Installation andOperation Instructionsfor Programmable Tachometer with HourmeterInstruction Sheet # 0 515 012 037Rev. 03/01INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OF THE PROGRAMMABLETACHOMETER ARE CONTAINED HEREIN. USE IS RESTRICTED TO 12-VOLT OR 24VOLT NEGATIVE GROUND ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS.If in doubt, please contact your dealeror VDO North America at (800)265-1818.CAUTION; Read these instructionsthoroughly before installing thetachometer. Do not deviate fromassembly or wiring instructions. Alwaysdisconnect the battery ground beforemaking any electrical connections.General InformationThe VDO Programmable Tachometers featured inthis installation manual are available in three diameters: 3 ¹ ₈" (80 mm); 3 ³ ₈" (85 mm), and 4" (100 mm).All tachometers can be programmed to function withgasoline engines or with diesel engines, and can be usedwith most ignition coils. These instructions describethe installation, wiring, calibration and operation of allVDO Programmable Tachometers.Each tachometer’s analog display clearly shows thenumber of revolutions per minute, and the LCD displayshows the accumulated engine hours. This display isalso used in the programming , calibration and fine tuning of the VDO Programmable Tachometer.Signal pulses needed by the tachometer are providedby the ignition coil, an alternator [AC tap], a HallEffect sender, or an inductive sender, depending on thetype of engine. If you are not sure where to tap theignition to get the necessary signal, consult your operator’smanual or contact the engine manufacturer.Hole saw or jigsaw (may not be needed)¼" spade terminalsMiscellaneous electrical connectorsPhilips and/or flathead screwdriverPliers and/or wrenchesCrimping tool and/or soldering iron(may not be needed)These instructions contain informationabout gauges of different sizes.

Wiring the TachometerThe sensor necessary to provide the signal to your newVDO Tachometer is not included. This sensor is available from your auto parts dealer. (Part numbers for VDOHall Effect Sensors are: 340 011; 340 012; 340 013; and340 014. The VDO Generator Sensor is Part #340 001.VDO’s Inductive Sensor is Part # 340 020.)1. Prepare insulated ¼" spade terminals for use with thetachometer. Make sure all wires are long enough toreach the necessary positive and negative terminals andany wires from the sensor.I. Mounting the Tachometer1. Refer to Diagram B for dimensions. The 3 ¹ ₈ " (80mm) tachometer requires a hole diameter of 3 ¹ ₈"(80mm); the 3 ³ ₈ " (85 mm) tachometer requires a holediameter of about 3 ³ ₈ " (85mm); and the 4 " (100 mm)tachometer requires a hole diameter of about 4 " (100mm). If you are mounting the tachometer into an existingpanel, remember that the panel cannot be more than ¾"(20 mm) thick. Minimum mounting depth is 3 ⁹ ₁₆ "(91mm).2. Careful measuring is a must for proper mounting ofyour tachometer. An improperly placed hole would be acostly mistake, so measure everything twice.REMEMBER:THERE ARE NO SECONDCHANCES ONCE YOU HAVE MADE YOURHOLE! MEASURE TWICE. CUT ONCE!3. Cut the hole. If you do not have a hole saw the exactsize needed, use the closest SMALLER size, and carefullywiden the hole with a half-round file or other similardevice.4. Note: If you plan to calibrate your tachometer, performthis step LAST! Place the tachometer in the opening andsecure it with the supplied VDO Spin-Lok clamp asshown in Diagram C. You may also mount the tachometerusing an optional VDO mounting bracket and nuts.2. Connect the wire from pin #4 to a switched 12 voltor 24 volt source. A switched 12 or 24 volt wire canbe found coming from the ignition sw s.
