Shaft Speed Monitors
Cost effective monitoring for up to six shafts.
Shaft Speed Solutions
The RDS shaft speed range of instruments provides an easy to use and cost effective method of monitoring up to six shafts at the same time.
Each channel has programmable speed alarms which trigger an internal audible and visual alarm. Using a magnetic sensor on each shaft, the instrument is calibrated to display the shaft RPM on the selected channel. The Offering a low-speed alarm threshold whilst the 600 and 660 offer programmable high or low-speed alarms and a secondary alarm output that can be used to physically inhibit operation or warn of alarm condition.
The 600 and 660 offer the further functions of forward speed and partial/total area measurement. Both units have an automatic cut-out switch to prevent area accumulation when turning on headlands etc.
The 660 includes an hour meter and a ‘STOP’ alarm for monitoring a particular machinery component. This feature automatically activates an alarm output , e.g. a connection to a relay to operate a solenoid/motor-actuated switch or valve which can inhibit machine function.

- They offer audible and visual alarms to alert the operator to drops in performance and/ or malfunctions of the machines
- Three model options are available
- Programmable speed alarms
- Cut out switching options – in or out of work
