Description
The AT Series tachometers are rugged, transis-
torized instruments with solid-state circuitry for
indication of engine RPM. They are equipped
with a bracket for mounting into a standard 3-
3/8 in. (86 mm) dash mounting hole. A full 270°
sweep of the pointer gives an accurate indication
on a large easy–to–read scale and the dial can be
illuminated for night reading. The ATH Series
models are also equipped with hourmeter to
record the elapsed running time of an engine.
Models available for Alternator, Magnetic
Sensor or Ignition signal
These instruments are designed to function from
pulses generated by an
alternator
with 4, 8, 12,
14, or 16 poles on the rotor. The pulses can also
be obtained from the ring gear of an engine by
means of an
electromagnetic sensor
(magnetic
pickup). Murphy’s magnetic sensor driven mod-
els are designed to function with flywheels hav-
ing anywhere from 70 to 225 teeth.
Ignition signal
model available for 4, 6 or 8
cylinder, spark-ignated engines.
All models are for negative ground, positive
ground or isolated electrical systems and are
protected against reverse polarity hookup.
All models are powered by 12 VDC and are
reverse polarity protected.

To determine pulses per engine revolution, work the
formulas on the back page and use the pulses per revolu-
tion number to determine if the tachometer can be used
for your application.
