The ACT-3X Panel Tachometer is a powerful NIST calibrated, fully programmable tachometer and totalizer. It accepts inputs from all Monarch speed sensors or from any standard TTL generating device. The unit operates from 120/240 Vac input power or from 12 or 24 Vdc input power (optional). Programming is easily performed through the 5 front panel pushbuttons or using the free downloadable PM Remote Software.

Detailed Description

The ACT-3X Panel Tachometer is an extremely versatile instrument. The user has complete control of the unit configuration. Power may be either 115 – 230 Vac (50/60 Hz), or optionally, 12 Vdc or 24 Vdc. Input signals are accepted (on Channel 1) from optical, proximity, magnetic, infrared or laser sensors, or direct TTL or external AC sources. A second auxiliary input (Channel 2) may be used for instrument control and remote resetting. There are several remote communication options – RS232, USB or Ethernet and the optional remote software can be used to program the unit or display data locally. The unit is suitable for panel mounting or bench top use, with convenient screw terminal connections on the rear panel of the instrument.

Set up for single-channel monitoring. Programmable scale factor with menu selection for multiple pulses per revolution, linear rates, single event trip speeds (using auxiliary input), and rate of change in RPM. A TTL pulse repeater output is standard. Recommended sensors with PN -W (= tinned leads), ROS-WROS-HT-W-25P5-11PS-12M-190WIRS-WROLS-W, RLS-WSLS-115/230CSLS, and GE-200HP Gas Engine Sensor (with amplifier).
