ISSPRO 3 3/8 Dia. Programmable Tachometer Aircore Version

GENERAL INFORMATION: OPERATING VOLTAGE: 11-30 VDC: NOTE Instrument comes equipped with a 12V lamp. Replace lamp with one of proper voltage when installing instrument on 24V systems. 24 Volt Lamp is P/N 656 INPUT SIGNAL: Geartooth sensor, AC generator, alternator tap PROGRAMMABLE RANGE: 1 255 pulses per revolution (gear teeth, magnets, etc.) TRANSIENT PROTECTION: +100 V, -400 V REVERSE VOLTAGE PROTECTED HOURMETER operates only when engine runs

CALIBRATION: Remove the hole plug by pressing above the center enough to allow a small coin, screwdriver, etc. to be inserted in the slot behind the upper edge. Twist to remove. Each of the eight switches has a different value as shown in the table on the right. Add the switch values to equal the number of pulses per engine revolution. These switches will be set on (up). All others will be off. EXAMPLE: Find switch numbers by subtracting the switch value from the remaining number. Always use the largest value that can be subtracted from the remainder for each successive step. For gear with 103 teeth: Sw Value 103 - 64 39 32 74 32 1 1 New Remainder 39 7 3 1 0 Sw. #7 ON #6 ON #3 ON #2 ON #1 ON

Or use the calibration chart provided (pages 3 and 4.) SIGNAL GENERATOR (Sender unit): Generator is installed on tachometer cable drive of engine: # PULSES / REV = (# sender pulses/turn) X (ratio of take off RPM to engine RPM)

Switch # 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

Value 1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128

If the number of pulses per revolution from the above equation is not a whole number, the tachometer will not be accurate. In this case, either select a generator so that this number is non-fractional or, using a photo tach as reference, trim the calibration adjustment. EXAMPLE: # sender pulses per turn = 15. take off ratio = 0.5:1 (i.e. cam drive); #PULSES / REV = 15X 0.5 = 7.5. This will result in an error in the tachometer reading. Select a sender with an even number of pulses per turn (e.g. ISSPRO R8970). The # pulses per revolution will then be a whole number, in this case 15.

Have an assistant monitor the engine speed with a photo tach. Set the switches while comparing the reading to that of the photo tach. Start with switches off, work down from switch #8, testing each switch in sequence. If the tach reads too low, turn off that switch and proceed to the next one. TRIMMING CALIBRATION: Units are factory pre-calibrated. Normally, trimming will not be needed. However, use the following procedure, if necessary: Set calibration switches as close as possible to calibration setting and install tach (see below). Run engine at a constant speed while an assistant monitors RPM with a phototach. Insert jewelers screwdriver in calibration hole (see diagram) and adjust needle indication for correct reading. Do not force the adjustment past the stop as this will damage the potentiometer. Check RPM accuracy at other points on the scale to verify calibration. INSTALLATION: Mount the tachometer in the dash panel and connect the wires as described below. Make all your connections to the Black plug supplied and then plug it into the tachometers white connectors. RED Connect to ignition switched power source. BLACK Connect to ground along with one of the sensor wires. WHITE Connect to other sensor wire. GREEN Connect to dash lamp power. INSTALLATION HINTS: 1) Wire both sensor wires back to the connector. Dont connect the sensor ground wire to a point which is physically different than the speedometer ground. 2) When power is applied, the needle should go to the zero position. If it doesnt, there may be a bad connection in the hot (red wire) or ground wire circuit. Check power to the meter by measuring with a voltmeter at the plug (meter leads on the pins that attach to the red and black wires). If there is power at the plug, the problem is in the gauge. 3) Low voltage (below 10.5 volts) will cause inaccurate reading. Determine accuracy by comparing reading with phototach. If problem exists, measure voltage with vehicle operating and meter connected. This can be done by connecting a voltmeter to power source (i.e. fuse block, etc.) and/or by connecting the voltmeter leads to the red and black wires where they enter the tachs white connector. 4) If tach reads zero, then jumps to normal reading after a repeatable RPM, adjust the sensor in closer to gear (generators cannot be adjusted).

Common Applications Aircore Tachometer Calibration The following table may be useful in calibrating the ISSPRO programmable tachometers in some ring gear sensing installations. This information is believed to be accurate, however, exceptions will occur and it is always best to verify the number of gear teeth when in doubt.
