   Once again I have not told the whole story :-(   
      
   I was going to use this tach on my milling machine spindle, not my car.   
     I think it works by pulsing a circuit between 2 of its connector pins.   
     It also can be pulsed by " ... PNP or NPN proximity switch, HALL   
   sensor".  Does that help determine what the mean by "wet contactor"?
