Engine Protection / Stop device is a micro
controller based unit, used mainly to
monitor various engine parameters like temperature, pressure, RPM, Alternator etc and
to shut off the engine by actuating a solenoid if any of the above parameter is
abnormal. It is also provided with interlocks to avoid faulty shutdowns.
LCD Tachometer senses the Engine RPM and displays
the reading using a 31
segments LCD semicircular display. This also displays the number of hours the engine
worked for using 6 digits, 7-Segment LCD display. Engine RPM to be displayed is
in range of 0 to 3000. This range is mapped to 31 segments on the LCD Display (One
segment corresponds to 100 RPM). It is possible
to have factory set RPM limit so that on
crossing the limit over speed symbol starts flashing along with one alarm output.
