SS300-AD
Description
The SS300 Series are single set point speed switches with SPDT relay dry contact
output. The trip point is set by a potentiometer. An LED indicates when the signal
source is present. A second LED turns on when the trip point is reached.
See Table 1
for available models and requirements. An optional time delay is on board to delay
operation of the relay for 2-6 seconds after the set point has been reached.
The SS300 Series speed switch is intended for installation within a weatherproof
enclosure to protect it from rain, dust, etc.
Overspeed Shutdown
The SS300 Series shuts down the engine if RPM exceeds the pre-set limit.
Speed Sensitive Pull-in/Drop-out
Engage or disengage PTO’s, 4-wheel drives, other switch points, etc. according
to speed of engine being monitored.
Engine and Transmission Alarm/Shutdowns
Oil pressure in some engines and transmissions varies widely between running
and idle speeds. The SS300 Series can select between two pressure switch set
points according to speed of the engine or transmission and thus give maximum
protection to the equipment while at operating RPM and eliminate nuisance
alarms when at idle.
Adjustable Differential Model
The (“AD”) can be adjusted to change the speed range over which the pull-in and
drop-out differential of the relay will operate. A typical application is to insure
that engine speed is above a minimum RPM before applying a load but allows a
drop in speed of several hundred RPM without disconnecting the load.
