Electrical Installation
The MT-2400 must be connected to a 12-volt DC negative
ground electrical system. Using your test light, locate a
ter mi nal or wire connected to your ignition switch which
is “hot” when the ig ni tion is turned on and “dead” when
the ignition is off.
Locate the power cable on the main wiring harness. Connect
the RED wire to the contact point you have lo cat ed. At tach
the BLACK wire (ground) to a screw or bolt on the equipment
frame.
See Il lus tra tion 3.
Be sure there is a good metal-to-
metal con tact. The ter mi nal con nec tors have been sup plied
for your convenience. You may wish to sub sti tute other
types of con nec tors or make a direct solder con nec tion. In
routing cable to con sole, avoid ar eas where the ca ble may be
sub ject ed to abra sion or ex ces sive heat.
Locate the single BLUE wire supplied with the kit to make a
ground wire. Crimp a female spade terminal on one end and
a ring terminal on the other end. Attach the spade terminal
end of the BLUE wire to the mating spade terminal on the
back of the console. Attach the ring terminal end of the BLUE
wire to a screw or a bolt on the equipment frame. Be sure
there is good metal-to-metal contact.
Your MT-2400 is equipped with an ad vanced elec tron ic
mem o ry which does not re quire a con stant sup ply of pow er
to re tain dai ly to tals or cal i bra tion val ues. The advantage
with this type of mem o ry is that it conserves battery power
and will not dis charge the vehicle’s battery when equipment
is not in use.

Speed Sensor Installation
PLEASE NOTE: If you have purchased a Trak-Star speed
sensor, disregard the section on magnetic speed sensors
and install the Trak-Star as described in the instructions
packed with the unit.
Locations where the sensor may be installed:
1. Non-driven wheel on tractor, vehicle or implement. This
is less susceptible to errors resulting from wheel slip.
2. Tractor, vehicle or planter drive shaft. This type of
mounting is recommended for trucks, four-wheel drive
tractors or other equipment that has poor or no access
to a non-driven wheel.
