This compact and easy to install module will allow you to easily adapt AutoMeter tachometers and shift lights and many other aftermarket RPM-based devices on your alternator-equipped diesel or non-standard ignition gasoline engine. Equipped with a sensor which is mounted to the alternator casing, a one time setup calibration is accomplished via push button interface on the module to synchronize the alternator signal with engine crank RPM. Perfect for diesel performance applications looking to add a tachometer or upgrade from factory equipment and a great problem solver for engine swap builds in need of working instruments. Pair it with AutoMeter's low-rev tachometer models to complete your diesel-specific gauge installation.

DIESEL TACH ADAPTER is rated out of 5 by 1.Rated 4 out of 5 by George 58 from Sensor works fine, easy to install. Had to use a 1K pull up resistor for the adapter to work with a VDO tachometer gauge. A circuit diagram of the adapter o/p circuitry would have been helpful.Date published: 2018-04-08

Can this be used on a 24v system?
Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, this unit will not be compatible with a 24v system.Date published: 2019-03-04I Intalled @ Volvo Penta Marine I/B, with a phantom 5899, previously brown wire cut, the tach marked 2500 on relanty, with brown linked 1700. handheld gauge marked 750rpm. help please?
Thank you for your question. This is going to require some more information and some in depth troubleshooting. I recommend reaching out to our support team at 815.895.8141 or https://www.autometer.com/contactsDate published: 2019-02-25I have a 80 series landcruiser with standard factory diesel tacho..Ihave installed a 6bt cummins it doesnt have a tacho pick up will this adaptor calibrate to my factory tacho?
Thank you for your question. You would need to know what kind of signal your tachometer utilizes. Here is how this unit works: The Diesel Tach Adapter (DTA) is provided with a probe assembly that is to be strapped to the vehicle’s alternator. The probe trigger will sense the rotating stator of the alternator and provide a small signal to the input of the DTA. The DTA, once calibrated by capturing a 1000 RPM signal, will provide a 12V square wave output with an equivalent 4 PPR tach signal.Date published: 2019-02-12I am purchasing a new alternator of my 12 valve cummins swap. It is a 1 wire unit avalable with or with out a "w or tach" terminal. Can this terminal be used instead of the pick up included in the kit?
Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, the kit is designed to work with the signal provided by the pickup included. You will have to use our pickup.Date published: 2019-01-21Would this be able to work with my stock gauges? I have a 2004 ford ranger with a 4bt swap and i'd like to get the stock tac to work. instead of putting an aftermarket gauge in>

Thank you for your question. Yes, our diesel tach adapter will work with digital tachometers, including #5787.Date published: 2019-01-11Hey guys was looking at the wiring diagram and it says clamp the probe trigger onto the lamination on the alternator, the alternator my vehicle has doesn’t have the lamination. Is that a issue? Cheers
Thank you for your question. The lamination is not mandatory. If you do not have the lamination, you may need to move the unit around a little bit until you find a good location to pick up the signal.Date published: 2018-12-13Are part #'s 9112 & 2888 all I need to install a tach on a Kubota X900 RTV? I have a CyberTech DT 2234A Laser Tachometer,. Is this Ok to calibrate the tach with???
I used 9112 with off the shelf non autometer tac, (54.95, inexpensive) and a laser tach, worked well!Date published: 2018-11-19
