Digital Tach/Hourmeter w/Adjustable Overspeed Trip Point
SHD30 and SHD30-45 Models
The SHD30 and SHD30-45 are microprocessor-based
tachometers with hourmeter and an overspeed trip
point. The trip point can be connected as either a form
C relay output or as a normally open SCR output for
alarm or shutdown on overspeed.
The SHD30 features a panel-mounting design, plastic
enclosure that is 5-1/16 (129 mm) long and 4-1/4 in.
(108 mm) high.
The SHD30-45 has the same enclosure, but it also has
a backplate with studs to mount like an OPLFC.
The SHD30 models power and RPM data are supplied *
by either a magnetic pickup or a capacitor discharge
(CD) ignition. The hourmeter is adjustable to a preset * When installed per Murphy drawing 20-08-0258
time and resettable to zero. Should power be lost, on-
board batteries maintain the run hours display and allow Specifications
for resetting the overspeed relay output.
When a tach signal is present the SHD30 models Power input:
display RPM. When a tach signal is not present, the CD ignition:
display is blank unless the Read Hours membrane key 90 to 350 VDC
on the faceplate is pressed and held. 150 µA typical @ 90 VDC
The five-digit, liquid crystal display is updated every 300 µA @ 350 VDC
second. The run hours, overspeed set point and current Magnetic Pickup:
pulses per engine revolution can be displayed by 5 to 120 Vrms
manipulating the membrane switches. Run hours can be 325 µA typical @ 5 Vrms, 100 Hz
displayed even after power is lost. The run hours display 450 µA typical @ 5 Vrms, 1 kHz
can be configured to alternate with the RPM display. 1 mA typical @ 5 Vrms, 5 kHz
2 mA typical @ 5 Vrms, 10 kHz
Ease of Calibration 15 mW max. @ 5 Vrms, 10 kHz
2.8 W max. @ 120 Vrms, 10 kHz
The SHD30 models calibration is accomplished by Backup Batteries: 2 replaceable, long-life Lithium batteries, Panasonic

point membrane keys on the faceplate. The number Operating Temperature: -4° to 158°F (-20° to 70°C)
of pulses is determined by the number of cylinders, Storage Temperature: -40° to 300°F (-40° to 150°C)

WARNING: In hazardous areas the overspeed relay contact is certified for use
ONLY with Murphy non-incendive or intrinsically safe products. In non-hazardous
areas overspeed relay contact may be used to switch electromechanical
Tattletale® or Magnetic Switches that do not exceed the relay contact rating: 1 A,
30 VDC; 0.3 A, 110 VDC; 0.5 A, 125 VAC. However, the preferred output to switch
electromechanical Tattletale® or Magnetic Switches is the N.O. SCR.
