Auto Gauge T270 52mm - Tachometer Diesel

Auto Gauge T270 is a high-quality tachometer designed specifically for vehicles with a diesel engine.

This modern gauge from the AutoGauge T270 series is designed for precise monitoring of engine RPM in vehicles equipped with diesel engines.

It is perfect for use in cars, trucks, and utility vehicles.

Product Features:

• The waterproof construction ensures reliability and durability in various weather conditions.
• The black frame made of stainless steel gives the gauge an elegant look that fits well with any vehicle interior.
• The gauge features backlighting with two color options: white and amber. This allows you to customize the appearance of the gauge to match your style or dashboard color.
• The tachometer measures the range of RPM from 0 to 6 thousand revolutions per minute, which is suitable for diesel engines.

How does a tachometer work in diesel engines?

A tachometer in a diesel engine works on a similar principle to that in a gasoline engine.

It measures the number of revolutions per minute (RPM) of the engine's crankshaft.

In the case of a diesel engine, the tachometer receives a signal from a revolution sensor located in the fuel system or the electronic engine control system. The tachometer uses this signal to display the current rotational speed of the engine on its display.

How is a diesel tachometer different from a gasoline tachometer?

The main difference between a tachometer in a diesel engine and a gasoline engine lies in the method of measuring revolutions.

Diesel engines have different operating parameters and rotational characteristics compared to gasoline engines.

A diesel tachometer is calibrated specifically for diesel engine operation and has a rotational range tailored to the characteristics of these engines. Additionally, in some cases, the revolution sensor in a diesel engine may be different from that in a gasoline engine.

How to connect a diesel tachometer?

Connecting a diesel tachometer may require certain technical skills and knowledge. It is recommended to consult the tachometer's user manual for a proper connection to the diesel engine. Generally, connecting a diesel tachometer involves three main steps:

• Locate the revolution sensor.

The first step is to locate the revolution sensor in the diesel engine. It is typically located near the crankshaft or camshaft. If you are unsure of its exact location, it is recommended to consult the vehicle's user manual or seek assistance from a mechanic.

• Connect the power supply.

Next, you need to connect the power supply for the tachometer. The Auto Gauge T270 typically requires a 12V power supply. You can connect the power wire to an appropriate power source, such as directly to the battery or to an existing electrical circuit in the vehicle. Ensure that you connect the wires according to the tachometer's user manual to avoid damaging the electronics.

• Connect the revolution sensor.

The final step is to connect the wire from the revolution sensor to the tachometer. This usually involves connecting the signal wire from the sensor to the corresponding input on the gauge. Again, the tachometer's user manual should provide detailed information on this. Ensure that the wires are properly connected and protected from damage.

It is important to proceed with caution and follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully when installing a diesel tachometer. If you don't feel confident in performing these tasks yourself, you can always consult a professional mechanic or automotive electrician who can assist you in properly connecting the tachometer to the diesel engine. They have the expertise and knowledge to ensure a safe and accurate installation. Remember, a properly functioning tachometer is a valuable tool for monitoring the engine's RPM, which can help you maintain optimal performance and efficiency in your diesel-powered vehicle.
