Set DIP switches #3 and #4 for the cylinder count the gauge is designed for. Use the UP and DN
push button switches to adjust the engine cylinder count settings.
To adjust the engine cylinder count:
1. Begin with the key off.
2. Press and hold the DN switch while turning the key on. The RED light should be on.
3. Release the DN switch. The GREEN light will begin flashing the current engine cylinder count. It
will flash the current setting, wait, flash the current setting, wait, etc.
4. To increase the setting, press and release the UP switch. To decrease the setting, press and
release the DN switch.
5. When the GREEN light flashes the correct number of times, turn the key off.
Quick preset: You can also quickly set the engine cylinder count to 4, 6, 8, or 10. Hold the UP
push button while turning the key on. After setting the engine cylinder count, change the position
of switch #3 & #4 to match the gauge.
Set to 4: Turn setup switch #3 off, #4 off, hold the UP button while turning key on.
Set to 6: Turn setup switch #3 off, #4 on, hold the UP button while turning key on.
Set to 8: Turn setup switch #3 on, #4 off, hold the UP button while turning key on.
Set to 10: Turn setup switch #3 on, #4 on, hold the UP button while turning key on.
Setup example:
If you have a factory 6 cylinder tachometer and are now using an 8 cylinder engine, set the engine
cylinder count to 8. Turn switch #3 OFF and switch #4 ON to set it for a 6 cylinder tach.
