Description

The OS77 Series single set point speed switch is a compact, all-electronic,
speed sensing module. It is field adjustable and can be panel mounted via its
trip set point potentiometer. 
Standard OS77 models provide a transistor output when tripped. Models with a
relay output are available. 
The OS77 is used for protecting the engine from excessive or insufficient oper-
ating speeds. As the engine speed reaches the adjustable set point setting, the
OS77 will cause the engine to shutdown.
Models are available with Normally Open or Normally Closed circuit and
available recrank feature which inhibits starter re-engagement until the engine
speed is near zero RPM.
