500 Series Speedometers

and Tachometers

A
METEK Dixson’s 500 Series speedometers and tacho-
meters are precision instruments specially engineered to
withstand the heavy shock and vibration of off-road op-
erating environments. They feature corrosion-resistant hous-
ings and mount into a 33/8-inch panel cutout. These instruments
have glass lenses with splash-proof front seals, high-visibility or-
ange pointers, and easy-to-read dials. The speedometer has an
external speedometer adjustment and external odometer cali-
bration switches. The tachometer has external calibration
switches.
Choose from striped, black, or chrome bezels; orange or white
pointers; English or metric dials; and 12- or 24-volt operation.
These quality instruments accept either magnetic sensor or
sender-generator inputs and are available with or without dial
subscales.
The odometers read up to one million miles, and an optional
100-MPH version speedometer is available. Tachometers are
available in ranges from 2,400 to 4,000 RPM, with or without
an optional 10,000-hour hourmeter. Custom dial graphics are
available to meet your particular application.
