Tach dip switch settings for new alternator

A few years back, I installed a high power alternator/charging system from Jack Rabbit Marine. The alternator reads high, due to the alternator having a different number of poles (12). I had exchanged emails with the C36 tech editor at the time (McCullough?) regarding the dip switch settings, but lost the email long ago, and never got back to it.

I'm about to replace the engine panel with the newer version, so it'll be a good time to address it. Does anyone know the dip switch settings for a 12 pole alternator?

Gary,
I've posted the pdf for adjusting and calibrating Teleflex tachometers in the Owner's Encyclopedia section of the website. Hope this helps.
