Description
Microprocessor-based digital tachometer and hourmeter with a built-in overspeed switch. This Murphy instrument is highly accurate and dependable. It measures speed and running hours and can give an alarm or shut down the engine on overspeed.
RPM data for the tachometer and overspeed switch is supplied by a magnetic pickup or a battery charging alternator equipped with a “Tach” terminal (auxiliary AC terminal). The magnetic pickup is installed into the flywheel housing of an internal combustion engine, so that the starter ring gear acts upon it to generate a voltage pulse each time a gear tooth passes the end of the magnetic pickup.
