Dakota Digital 3 operation manual Volt Setup, Display update setup Update, Rpm warning setup Warn

Display update setup (UPDATE)

The display update rate can be adjusted so the reading on the tachometer doesn’t change so quickly. This is a personal preference and is just used to “slow” the reading by averaging. The value can be changed from slow, mid, and fast.

∙When “UPDATE” is displayed press and hold SW1 until you get “ - ”

∙Release SW1 and the current update rate will be displayed.

∙Press and release SW1 to increase the value from “SLOW” “ MID” “ FAST”

∙When the desired setting is displayed press and hold SW1 until “ - ” “ DONE” is displayed

∙Release the switch to go onto the next sub-menu item.

Rpm warning setup (WARN)

This is used for the turn on point for the WARN output on the control box. When the rpm reading is above this setting, the output will activate, providing a ground signal. It can be used to turn on a shift light or other rpm based devices. The value is adjustable from 2200 RPM – 14800 RPM in 100 RPM increments.

∙When “WARN” is displayed press and hold SW1 until you get “ - ”

Tach signal setup (SIGNAL)

This menu will allow you to select from two different tach-input types. A low voltage, “5 LO”, tach signal or a high voltage tach signal, “ 12 HI”. A low voltage signal is usually one that would be picked up from the ECM. Low voltage may also be considered a 0-5V square wave. If you are getting the tach signal from the ignition coil or points, set this for the high voltage signal“12 HI”. To pick up a tach signal form a traditional coil you would want to wire it to the negative side of the coil.

∙When “SIGNAL” is displayed press and hold SW1 until you get “ - ”
