Our diesel tachometer operates wirelessly. There are two separate components, the sensor, and the gauge, the sensor is self-powered and sends the RPM information directly to the gauge wirelessly.
There are some situations where you will need to hard wire the sensor to the gauge, but we have a simple workaround for that too. So, how did we build a wireless diesel tachometer? There is an emerging tech field called energy harvesting which focuses on collecting small amounts of lost energy to power various devices, we have implanted some of this energy harvesting technology directly into our diesel tachometer.
By using energy harvesting, we can use a sensor that reads RPM directly from the rotation of your engine. Typically, this is achieved by attaching our sensor near the harmonic balancer. While there is a lot of technology involved in the backend, it all works together to provide a simplified installation and an incredibly accurate diesel tachometer. Before we go any further, we recommend watching our installation video. It provides a clear demonstration of how to install our diesel tachometer.
However, generally speaking installing our diesel tachometer only requires two steps. First is to install the sensor.
Depending on your vehicle you have a few different options, when possible we recommend installing the sensor to the oil pan near the harmonic balancer. To achieve this, we have a custom replacement oil pan screw that the sensor mounts directly onto. Once the sensor is installed, you need to attach 4 small magnets to the harmonic balancer.
While that may sound odd, we include an adhesive for the magnets in our diesel tachometer kits, and we have tested them on multiple vehicles for almost a decade with no failures. After you have installed the diesel tachometer sensor, the only part left is installing the gauge. We offer several gauge styles, so mounting your diesel tachometer varies depending on which style you choose.

Thread starter Brett Whitaker Start date Dec 29, Brett Whitaker Binder Driver. I am curious to know how diesel tachometers work. Are they crank triggered or what? I don't have a diesel but am trying to figure out how to use a diesel tachometer on my I like the lower RPM range reading of those versus the high end of gas engine tachs.
Any information or help would be appreciated.
