To replace the bulb, pull the bulb from the socket and replace with an 00-00-4617 (for
12V), 00-00-4618 (for 24V) bulb or equivalent size as marked on the bulb.

3.

Connect the lamp blade connector to (+) positive side of instrument lighting circuit.

Connecting to Ignition 

(

see Fig. 8)

1.

Connect a wire from “SIG” terminal to the negative (-) side of the igniton coil or to the
terminal marked “TACH” on solid-state ignition systems.

Connecting to Power 

(

see Fig. 8)

Important: 

These units are for 12 VDC only.

1.

Connect a wire from “BAT” to a 12 VDC circuit activated by the ignition switch. 

2.

Connect a wire from “GND” to negative voltage source (electrical ground).

Connecting ATVC12/24 Convertor 

(

see Fig. 9)

For 24 VDC applications, a ATVC12/24 convertor must be used.

1.

Insert the ATVC12/24 convertor as shown. 

2.

Secure the ATVC12/24 convertor with a nut on the “BAT” and “GND”stud terminals of
the Tachometer.

3.

Notice that the stud terminal on the ATVC12/24 convertor becomes the “BAT” stud for
connecting to 24 VDC. Proceed with the connection as shown. 

4.

Replace the 12 V bulb with the 24 V bulb supplied with the converter assembly.      

CAUTION:

Disconnect the battery/power source and determine voltage and polarity of the application before wiring

the unit. Use the appropriate wire size. It is recommended using 16 AWG (1.5 mm

2

) or larger stranded, insulated wire and

insulated crimp-on (solderless) ring-type wire terminals. Allow a few inches of excess wire to make adjustments.
