The AI-TEK T77630-10 is a premier member of the TACHPAK® 30 Series, representing the next generation of dual-channel digital process tachometers from AI-TEK Instruments (formerly AIRPAX). Unlike its DIN-rail mounted counterparts in the TACHPAK family, the T77630-10 features a panel-mount design with an integrated LCD display, making it ideal for applications requiring local visual indication of speed, rate, or process variables . This sophisticated instrument measures input frequency from two independent sensors and converts the resulting values into analog outputs, relay functions, and real-time digital displays for comprehensive rotating machinery monitoring .
Key Features & Benefits
Integrated Display and User Interface
128×64 LCD Graphic Display: Provides clear visualization of dual-channel speeds, calculated results, alarm status, and user-defined engineering units (RPM, FPM, etc.)
Front Panel Programming: Allows direct configuration without additional software, plus compatibility with infrared remote control for safe operation in hazardous areas
Panel Mount Design: Standard ¼ DIN enclosure (model T77630-10) for easy integration into control panels
Exceptional Performance Specifications
Blazing Fast Response: 7.6 ms for analog and display updates, 16.5 ms for mechanical relays, and an incredible 2 ms for solid-state relays—critical for overspeed protection applications
Superior Accuracy: 0.1% accuracy for analog and display functions; 0.005% accuracy for relay functions
16-bit D/A Conversion: Delivers 610 nanoamps per step resolution for precision analog output
Flexible Power and Input Capabilities
Universal Power Supply: Accepts wide-range 80-264 VAC (50/60 Hz) and 12-30 VDC, suitable for global installations
Dual-Channel Inputs: Accepts two independent sensor signals including:
Sine wave (from passive magnetic sensors like the 70085 series)
Square wave TTL signals
Bi-directional Hall effect sensors with quadrature decoding for direction sensing
