- Monitors oil pressure, coolant level, alternator failure, high engine temperature, and optional inputs
- Fail-safe input design detects wiring faults or disconnections
- Integrated start-up delay and visual/audible alarm with memory
- Relay output: 24VDC / 10A, ideal for solenoid control
- Designed for OEM and retrofit use in limited-space environments
Sensor Inputs
- Oil Pressure (N/O or N/C switch)
- High Engine Temperature (N/O or N/C switch)
- Alternator Failure
- Loss of Coolant Water
- Spare Input 1 (N/O or N/C switch)
- Spare Input 2 – commonly Pump Loss of Prime (N/O or N/C switch)
