Automatic electric/pneumatic air shut off system
The automatic electric to pneumatic air shut off system is designed to continuously monitor diesel engine RPM to immediately shutdown the engine in the event of an overspeed condition.
The RevGuard Speed Switch monitors engine RPM through either a flywheel mounted magnetic pickup or a signal from the Automatic Electric to Pneumatic Overspeed Detection Shutdown System engine alternator. The RevGuard Speed Switch will immediately activate the 3-way pneumatic solenoid when the engine RPM exceeds a preset limit, which pressurizes the Air Intake Shutoff Valve to close.
The system also includes a manual override toggle switch that can be used to manually close the Air Intake Shutoff Valve.
