ACT-3X Panel Tachometer-1

ACT-3X Programmable Panel Tachometer/Totalizer Description The ACT‐3X 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 120/240Vac input power or from 12 or 24Vdc input power (optional). Programming is easily performed through the 5 front panel push buttons or using the optional PM Remote Software. Set up for single channel monitoring or use the auxiliary second channel input. Programmable scale factor with menu selection for multiple pulses per revolution, linear rates, totalization, single event trip speeds and rate of change in rpm. A TTL pulse repeater output is standard. Options include: 0‐5Vdc or 4‐20mA isolated (or non‐isolated) outputs and 2 Form C programmable relay outputs. Available communication options include: bi‐directional RS232C, USB or Ethernet. When used with the optional PM Remote Software, the communication options allow for remote configuration, real‐time view of data, and data streaming directly into Microsoft Excel™.
