This image displays the main face of the ST700M-01075 Dash Tachometer. It features a clear white dial with RPM markings from 0 to 10.75k, an orange indicator needle, and four red LED shift lights at the top. Below the shift lights, a digital LCD screen shows a time reading, likely for lap timing, in green digits. The 'STACK' logo is visible on the right side, and a small warning icon is present on the left.

4. Funcionament

4.1 Encès

Upon vehicle ignition, the tachometer will power on and perform a self-check. The needle will sweep across the dial, and the digital display will illuminate.

4.2 Reading the Tachometer

The large analog dial displays engine RPM in thousands (kRPM). The orange needle indicates the current engine speed. The sequential shift lights will illuminate progressively as the engine approaches the user-defined shift points, providing a visual cue for optimal gear changes.

4.3 Digital Display Functions

The integrated digital display provides various readings depending on the configured settings and connected sensors. This may include:

• Lap Timing: If the lap timing system is active, the display will show lap times with an accuracy of 1/100th of a second as the vehicle passes the track-side beacon.
• Velocímetre: If the ST670 wheel speed sensor is connected, the display will show vehicle speed in MPH or km/h, configurable by the user.
• Lectures del sensor: Displays values from configured analogue channels (e.g., oil pressure, water temperature).
• Voltímetre: Shows the vehicle's battery voltage.

4.4 Intelligent Alarm System

The intelligent alarm system monitors all parameters. If a monitored value exceeds or falls below its pre-set alarm level, a visual warning (e.g., flashing display, warning icon) will activate. Alarm levels can be adjusted through the unit's menu system (refer to the detailed operating guide for menu navigation).

4.5 Adjusting Back-lighting

The white LED back-lighting level can be adjusted to suit ambient light conditions for optimal readability. Consult the detailed operating guide for instructions on adjusting this setting.

5. Manteniment

The Stack ST700M-01075 Dash Tachometer is designed for durability and requires minimal maintenance. However, regular checks can ensure its longevity and continued performance.
