Description:
The function of the Model 2400S Horsepower Computer is to provide the operator with a continuous digital readout of the RPM, TORQUE, POWER (Horsepower or Kilowatts) and percentage of Torque Rise ( % TORQUE RISE) when properly attached to a compatible dynamometer.
The RPM readout shows the operator the rotation speed (rotations per minute) of the power shaft of the dynamometer. The RPM is measured by a pickup and gear combination that is mounted on the dynamometer and coupled to the power shaft of the dynamometer.
The TORQUE readout shows the operator the torque
The POWER readout shows the operator the amount of power being produced by the prime mover and applied to the dynamometer. This is the same as the power being absorbed by the dynamometer. It is computed by the Horsepower Computer using the RPM and Torque measurements using the formulae below:
HORSEPOWER = ( RPM * TORQUE
KILOWATTS = ( RPM * TORQUE
The % Torque Rise (% Torque Load) meter shows the torque as a percentage compared to a reference torque value. It is used to measure the “lugging ability” of an engine.
The Horsepower Computer has a
Installation:
The Model 2400S horsepower computer should be installed in a location where the unit is not exposed to wetness, extremely high temperatures, prolonged direct sunlight, or other
environmental factors that would shorten the life expectancy of the unit.
