12 best tachometers with backlit lcds

Tachometers with backlit LCDs are automotive gauges used to measure the rotational speed of an engine's crankshaft, commonly expressed in revolutions per minute (RPM). These tachometers are equipped with LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screens that have built-in backlighting, providing visibility in various lighting conditions, including low light or nighttime driving. Here is some information about these automotive gauges:

  1. Function: Tachometers are essential tools for monitoring engine performance. They display the RPM of the engine, allowing the driver to gauge the engine's speed and make adjustments as needed. This information is crucial for maintaining optimal engine performance, preventing over-revving, and ensuring fuel efficiency.

  2. Backlit LCD Display: The LCD screen on these tachometers is backlit, meaning it has a built-in light source that illuminates the display. This backlighting makes it easier to read the RPM readings, even in low-light conditions. It ensures that the gauge remains visible and legible at night or in dimly lit environments.

  3. Installation: Tachometers with backlit LCDs are typically installed on the vehicle's dashboard or instrument cluster. They are connected to the vehicle's engine through wiring and sensors, which allow them to accurately measure and display engine RPM.

  4. Aftermarket Parts: Many tachometers with backlit LCDs are aftermarket automotive accessories. This means they are not typically included as standard equipment in most vehicles but can be added later by vehicle owners who want to monitor their engine's RPM more closely.

  5. Customization: Some of these tachometers offer customization options, allowing users to set specific RPM warning levels or choose different backlight colors to match their vehicle's interior lighting.

  6. Maintenance and Troubleshooting: Tachometers are also valuable tools for diagnosing engine problems.Sudden changes in RPM readings can indicate issues with the engine, such as misfires or mechanical problems.

In summary, tachometers with backlit LCDs are automotive gauges designed to measure engine RPM. They feature LCD displays with built-in backlighting to ensure visibility in various lighting conditions. These gauges are often used as aftermarket parts for vehicles, providing drivers with valuable information about engine performance and aiding in the diagnosis of engine issues.

Question: Will test rpm on 4 cycle or 2 cycle engine only
Answer: Only a photo pickup. You have to use the reflective tape on shafts to read rpm. Did not work for me. I wanted to use it on gas powered equipment. There is no pick up for spark.
