METER INSTALLATION
1.
Clip on the black plastic sensor over any convenient spark plug wire. Make sure the sensor
is completely seated down on the spark plug wire so there is no air gap.
2.
Attach the ground wire ring terminal to any convenient bare metal surface on the engine
or frame. Typically an existing engine fastener can be used.
3.
Route the sensor lead wire and mount the meter. CAUTION: Keep meter and wire away
from EXTREMELY HOT engine surfaces or possible interference. Extra lead wire can be
coiled-up out of the way. See separate instructions for mounting meters with double-sided
tape.
4.
Attach the sensor tamper-proof lock.
NOTE:
These installation steps may have already been performed by your original
equipment manufacturer.
METER OPERATION
• All meter functions are controlled by pressing the Mode Button which is located on the
lower face of the meter.
• Pressing the Mode Button at any time switches back and forth between Usage mode and
Tachometer mode. Some meters are configured to stay in a single mode and do not switch.
• Pressing and holding the Mode Button for four (4) seconds clears flashing Maintenance
Alert Icons.
USAGE METER MODE
• The meter automatically senses whenever the engine is running and keeps track of the
actual total accumulated hours of operation. The clock icon flashes at one second intervals
to indicate the meter is counting in Usage Mode.
• Total time is displayed in hours and tenths of an hour. Every six (6) minutes the smaller
tenths digit increments.
• Total engine usage always accumulates regardless whether the meter is in Tachometer
Mode or Maintenance Alert Icons are flashing.
• After 9999.9 hours the meter restarts back at 0.0 hours.
