2017 Revised DesignAT/ATH series tachometers - click to enlarge

  • Improved quality
  • New, easy one-button calibration procedure:
    - replaces switch or potentiometer setup
       (see video below)
  • Every model will accept all signal sources:
    - alternator, magnetic pickup or ignition
  • Spin-on ring clamp for quick & easy installation
  • LED backlight
    - replaces separate 12 or 24V filament bulbs
  • Improved environmental sealing: IP66 (front), IP32 (rear)

The AT Series tachometer is a rugged instrument with solid-state circuitry for indication of engine RPM. It is equipped with a ring nut for mounting into a standard 3-3/8 in. (86 mm) dash mounting hole. A full 240° sweep of the pointer gives an accurate indication on a large easy–to–read scale, and the dial can be illuminated for night reading. The ATH Series model is also equipped with hourmeter to record the elapsed running time of an engine.

These instruments are designed to function with Alternator, Magnetic Pickup or Ignition signals from:

  • pulses generated by an alternator with 4, 8, 12, 14 or 16 poles on the rotor (3 - 52 PPR);
  • pulses obtained from the ring gear of an engine by means of an electromagnetic sensor (magnetic pickup). The instrument is designed to function with flywheels having anywhere from 50 to 300 teeth;
  • 2 - 10 cylinder, 4 cycle spark-ignited engines. Not intended for use with Capacitive Discharge (CD) ignitions or magnetos, only for inductive, automotive-type ignitions.

The tachometers are powered by a 12- or 24-volt battery and are reverse polarity protected. These units are for negative ground or isolated electrical systems. They are specially designed for use on truck, marine, industrial or stationary engines.
