Description
The Digital SELECTRONIC® DT9800 series features a tachometer-only and tachometer with built-in overspeed switch. These tachometers are highly accurate and dependable due to digital solid-state electronics and a quartz crystal time base. The surface-mount enclosure makes it easy to install. Tachometer power and RPM data are supplied by a magnetic pickup or capacitor discharge (CD) ignition–depending on model chosen. The RPM data is converted and displayed on a four digit, easy-to-read liquid crystal display (LCD). The LCD displays up to 9999 RPM.
The DT9803 and DT9804 are tachometer-only models. The DT9803 is powered by a magnetic pickup. The DT9804 is powered by a CD ignition.
The TACHSWICH™ models, DT9805 and DT9806, combine a digital tachometer and overspeed switch. The DT9805 is powered by a magnetic pickup and the DT9806 is powered by a CD ignition.

DT9803 AND DT9804 TYPICAL WIRING

WARNING: PERFORM THE WIRING INSTALLATION WITH THE POWER SOURCE OFF. DO NOT ROUTE TACHOMETER LEADS WITH PRIMARY IGNITION WIRING.

DT9803
Connect the magnetic pickup cable conductors to the MPU terminal as shown in Figure 1. Use a two conductor shielded cable between the DT9803 and the magnetic pickup.

DT9804
Before wiring the DT9804, determine the output voltage and ground polarity of the ignition. Table 1 lists the Peak Output Voltage and Ground Polarity of some common ignitions.
Connect the DT9804 tachometer to the CD ignition. Figure 2 shows a typical wiring diagram for negative ground ignition system.

Table 1: Output Voltage & Polarity of Common CD Ignitions

DT9805

  1. Connect the magnetic pickup as shown in Figure 3.
  2. Connect the overspeed switch wiring as shown Figures 3 and 4. Observe the polarity of the overspeed switch. The positive terminal must be connected to the positive side of the circuit as shown.
  3. If connecting to a Murphy LCDT annunciator refer to Figure 5. See General Catalog for more information on the LCDT.

Figure 5: DT9805 and DT9806 negative ground connection to Murphy LCDT (for positive ground ignitions, reverse the negative and positive wires on the tachometer so that the positive terminal is grounded.)

DT9806
Before wiring the DT9806, determine the output voltage and ground polarity of the ignition. Table 1 lists the Peak Output Voltage and Ground Polarity of some common ignitions.
Figure 6 displays wiring to a negative ground ignition and Figure 7 for positive ground units. If the ignition output voltage is 90-150 volts, connect the ignition lead to the 90-150 input terminal on the DT9806; if it is 150-400 volts, then connect the lead to the 150-400 terminal. If connecting to a Murphy LCDT annunciator refer to Figure 5. See General Catalog for more information on the LCDT.

NOTE: When installing the DT9806 in a Murphy panel, always connect the DT9806 to the ignition/input side of the power adapter. If the DT9806 input is connected to the output of the adapter, its display will read zero RPM, since the adapter filters out the ignition pulses.

CALIBRATING THE DT9800 SERIES TO YOUR ENGINE

  1. Locate the calibration switches on back of the unit (see page 1).

  2. If calibrating the DT9804 and DT9806 advance to step 3. If calibrating the DT9803 and DT9805, find the number of teeth for your gear in Table 2. Close the series of calibration switches listed next to the number of gear teeth.

    DO NOT USE A PENCIL TO PUSH SWITCHES

  3. To set the calibration code on the DT9804 and DT9806, refer to Table 3. Find the line that matches your engine’s cylinders and cycles and set the DT9804/DT9806 according to the switches marked “ON”.
    NOTE: if the ignition system has two energy storage capacitors, count only half the actual number of engine cylinders for the calibration code.

SETTING OVERSPEED SET POINTS: DT9805 AND DT9806

The overspeed set point switches are available on the DT9805 and DT9806 only. The overspeed set point can be set within ± 5 RPM, over a range of 0010 to 9990 RPM. Setting of the overspeed set points is made by properly adjusting of three rotary switches. Each switch can be adjusted in increments of ten. To set the switches perform the following:

  1. Locate the three rotary switches on the back of the unit (Figure 8).

  2. Insert a small blade screwdriver inside the arrow slot. Turn the screwdriver until the arrow pointer is facing the number you choose.
    EXAMPLE: You want the overspeed to trip at 1850 RPM (Figure 8):

    • Rotate the X-1000-arrow to the (1),
    • Rotate the X-100-arrow to the (8),
    • Rotate the X-10-arrow to the five (5).

DT9804 AND DT9806 TROUBLESHOOTING

If the DT9804 or DT9806 tachometer reading is incorrect or erratic follow the steps below in order until the devices read properly.

  1. Check for proper voltage for your ignition system (90-150).

  2. Check all grounds, be sure they are good and tight.

  3. Separate ignition wires from primary coil wires.

  4. Check switches for correct settings according to the number of engine cylinders. Where the ignition system has two storage capacitors, the tachometer must be set for half the number of engine cylinders.
    DO NOT USE A PENCIL TO PUSH SWITCHES.

  5. Check reading on 110 VAC 60 Hz with all switches open or on 0. The display should read all 0’s. Also refer to the calibration chart in step 9.

  6. The shutdown lead must be separated at least 12 in. (305 mm) from the high-tension spark plug leads. The best practice is to run the shutdown lead from the junction box to the panel in a separate conduit.

  7. The common ground for the capacitor discharge ignition system coils must be grounded to the engine block, preferably as close to each coil as possible.

  8. If the Murphy adaptor package is used make sure the tach is connected to the input (ALT 1, ALT 2) not the output.

  9. Calibration Check: Hook 110 VAC 60 Hz hot to the input 90-150 and the neutral to the negative input. These readings are ±1 RPM.
