	Tachometer - Wikicars
		A tachometer is a device used for measuring the speed of a moving body or substance (from Greek: tachos = speed, metron = measure).
		Tachometers fitted to cars, aircraft, and other vehicles typically have markings indicating a safe range of speeds at which the engine may be operated.
		On an analog tachometer this maximum speed is typically indicated by an area of the gauge marked in red, giving rise to the expression of "redlining" an engine - i.e.

	Tachometer
		On most audio tape recorders, the tachometer (or simply "tach") is a relatively large spindle near the ERP head stack[?], isolated from the feed and take-up spindles by tension idlers.
		On many recorders, the tachometer spindle is connected by an axle to a rotating magnet that induces a changing magnetic field upon a hall effect transistor.
		Tachometer signals can be used to synchronize several tape machines together, but only if in addition to the tach signal, a directional signal is transmitted, to let the slave machines know no only how fast the master is going, but in which direction.

	Tachometer
		The stock tachometer is designed to trigger from the approximately 100V voltage pulses generated on the (-) side of the coil on a stock point type ignition.
		The tachometer adaptor is really just a box with a coil in it which replicates the voltage pulses of a stock coil to trigger the tachometer.
		Tachometer ground connects to one of the ground connectors on the ground replicator harness.

	What is a Tachometer?
		A tachometer is an instrument designed to measure the speed of an object or substance.
		The traditional tachometer is laid out as a dial, with a needle indicating the current reading and marking safe and dangerous levels.
		In its most familiar form, a tachometer measures the speed at which a mechanical device is rotating.

	Tachometer check apparatus - Patent 4575664
		In particular, an electrical tachometer is essentially a voltage generator which is interconnected with the shaft of a rotating device and calibrated to produce a voltage output which is related to the speed of the device.
		The output voltage at the terminals of the tachometer is indicative of the angular velocity of the motor.
		When the tachometer TACH is of the type which produces an AC signal which is related to the speed of the tachometer, the diode D3 is no longer necessary and may be disconnected.

	Tachometer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tachometer showing engine rotations per minute (RPM), and a redline from 6000 RPM.
		A tachometer measures the speed of rotation of a shaft or disk (from Greek: tachos = speed, metron = measure), as in a motor or other machine.
		The device usually displays the rate of revolutions per minute on a calibrated analog dial, but digital displays are increasingly common.

	S10 Tachometer Conversion
		The Ebay cluster included the tachometer and the small style gas gauge, which is also needed.
		Because the wiring is different, the cluster with a tach is not a direct swap with a non-tach cluster.
		Although the E-bay tachometer was in good shape, the integrated circuit on the back of the cluster it came in was not.

	Pelican Technical Article: Converting A Mechanical Tachometer to Electric
		In the later years of production, the 356Cs were equipped with an electric tachometer, shown in Figure 1, similar to the type used on the more modern 914, 911 and 912s.
		The older mechanical tachometer is a source of much frustration for many 356 owners, as the 40 year old mechanical components often fail.
		The actual conversion of the tachometer is not an easy task and requires significant modification to your gauge, as well as many replacement parts from a later-year tachometer.

		tachometer, instrument that indicates the speed, usually in revolutions per minute, at which an engine shaft is rotating.
		Some tachometers, especially those used in automobiles, are similar in construction and operation to automotive speedometers.
		Other types, often connected directly to the shaft whose speed they indicate, are small electric generators whose output voltage is proportional to speed.

	Tachometer - Wikipedia
		Ein Tachometer oder Geschwindigkeitsanzeiger ist ein Messgerät zum Bestimmen der Geschwindigkeit in einem Fahrzeug.
		Seit 1844 wurde der Tachometer zur Geschwindigkeitsmessung von Lokomotiven eingesetzt.
		Ein Tachometer, der als Indikator für das geschwindigkeitsbedingte Risiko dienen soll, müsste daher eine energieproportionale Anzeige haben (siehe Abbildung).

	The Tachometer
		Their purpose was to allow the driver to see when he was approaching the limit of the engine's rev and power range, after which the internal parts were likely to encounter destructive forces.
		Mechanical tachometers are simply cable-driven (or any sort of flexible shaft-driven) meters that use a magnet assembly with an attached needle or other indicator.
		The only possible downside of electric tachometers is that, since they are connected to the ignition system, a major short circuit in the tachometer can disable the ignition.

	V1 remote display installed inside of a Porsche 993 tachometer
		Make a small hole on the back of the tachometer casing, it has to be large enough so that all the wires can fit through once the tachometer is assembled.
		Place the tachometer unit back into the tachometer casing and run the wire out through the hole you drilled earlier for wire opening on the tachometer casing.
		Prior to installing the rest of the tachometer back together now it would be a good time to take the tachometer to the car to make sure everything works.

	Tachometer vs. Encoder
		Some may use the term tachometer to refer to a heavier duty encoder; Avtron uses the terms encoder and tachometer interchangeably.
		The original distinction between tachometers and encoders was that tachometers were used for velocity indication and control only, and could not provide position information.
		Only the (older) DC/analog tachogenerator style of tachometer (examples: BC-42 or BC-46) had this limitation; all modern tachometers have quadrature outputs which are used for velocity, position, and direction measurements, making them effectively encoders.

	Alternator Tachometer Signals
		Alternator tachometer signals are derived from the stator windings.
		When the regulator switches from the absorption state to the float state, there may be complete loss of tachometer signal during the time that battery voltage decays.
		This often results in a tach signal which is too weak to trigger some tachometers.

	Pro-Comp series pedestal mount tachometers with and without shift lite from Autometer
		Many factory tachometers are slow to respond due to heavy dampening used for smoothing pointer operation.
		If this is the case, it may require a tachometer adapter to make your Autogage tachometer operate with your computer, or you may upgrade to an Auto Meter tachometer.
		Because your Auto Meter electronic tachometer counts the number of times you ignition fires in a crankshaft revolution, additional random, false triggering causes erratic and inaccurate tach movement. Auto Meter tachs are internally protected with circuits that filter out a majority of the "noise associated with racing conditions.

	Tachometer fitting instructions
		A hole is needed in the fascia panel, the diameter of which will depend upon the tachometer purchased, with sufficient clearance behind to accept the body of the tachometer.
		The tachometer can now be installed in the fascia panel hole, and clamped against the back of the panel using the fixing clamp, spring washers and knurled nuts supplied.
		N.B. if the tachometer is totally inoperative at this point, when tested, and you have an electronic ignition system, it is well worth checking the settings of switches 4 and 5, and determining whether your system is type a or b.
