RPM Converter MCT 5.01

MCT 5.01 | Reversible Engine RPM Converter & Direction Sensing System

The Industry Standard for Precision Marine Tachometry

The MCT 5.01 is a high-performance RPM conversion system engineered to provide accurate speed and direction monitoring for both reversible and non-reversible marine engines. Designed for the harshest engine room environments, it transforms raw sensor pulses into stable, industry-standard analog signals for bridge and control-room indicators.

Key Technical Advantages

• Dynamic Measurement Range: Precision-engineered for speeds up to 3,000 RPM, ensuring accurate data across the entire power curve. Custom high-speed variants are available for specialized industrial applications upon request.

• Intelligent Direction Sensing: Employs advanced phase-detection logic to provide instant, fail-safe direction finding (Ahead/Astern), essential for reversible main propulsion systems.

• Anti-Hunting Signal Filtration: Features integrated signal conditioning and filtering to prevent needle jitter or "indicator hunting" during low-RPM maneuvering or vibration-heavy operations.

• Universal Compatibility: A single, versatile unit supports both reversible and unidirectional engines, simplifying inventory management for fleet owners and service companies.

• High-Output Drive Power: The robust 30mA output stage is powerful enough to drive up to 10 indicators in parallel without signal loss or degradation.

• Standardized Interfacing: Switchable $\pm10\text{V}$ or $0\text{--}10\text{V}$ outputs ensure seamless integration with most existing bridge gauges, PLCs, and alarm monitoring systems (AMS)

Operational Benefits

• Zero-Maintenance Reliability: Utilizing non-contact inductive sensing, the system eliminates mechanical friction and wear, providing a "fit-and-forget" lifecycle.

• Rapid Onboard Calibration: The user-accessible multi-turn precision potentiometer allows the crew or local technicians to calibrate the system to match existing scales in minutes—no specialized software required.

• The Ultimate Retrofit Solution: Whether you are replacing an obsolete mechanical system or designing a New Build project, the MCT 5.01 is designed for easy mounting and rapid commissioning by any third-party service provider.
