Description: The function of the Model 2400S Horsepower Computer is to provide the operator with a continuous digital readout of the RPM, TORQUE, POWER (Horsepower or Kilowatts) and percentage of Torque Rise ( % TORQUE RISE) when properly attached to a compatible dynamometer. The RPM readout shows the operator the rotation speed (rotations per minute) of the power shaft of the dynamometer. The RPM is measured by a pickup and gear combination that is mounted on the dynamometer and cou

Power Supply: The Model 2400S horsepower computer is normally operated from 110 to 125 VAC (60 Hz) using the outlet mounted power supply that is supplied with the unit. The power consumption of the computer is very low and the unit has a very high tolerance for power supply variations, so nearly any standard 115 VAC utility power outlet should power the unit adequately. See (below) information on a special (optional) “wide-range” power supply which will power the unit properly when

values are computed and displayed. This process is repeated continuously while the unit is in operation. Computer Function Switch: The computer function switch is used to turn the system power ON/OFF and to control the functional operation of the horsepower computer. The function switch has four positions ( “OFF”, “ZERO”, “CHECK”, and “RUN”). In the “OFF” position, the power to the horsepower computer (and the load cell, etc.) is turned “OFF”. The power is turned “ON” in the oth

The torque set switch is used to set the torque reference which is used to compute the % Torque Rise reading. To set the torque reference, proceed as follows: Run the engine at it rated speed, loaded at rated power or torque output. This represents the 100% torque output condition for the engine. With the engine running at its rated speed and load, press the Torque Set switch momentarily. The reference torque value is now set to the rated engine 100% torque and the % Torque Rise dis

When the horsepower computer is used with a companion personal computer, a standard (9 pin) RS-232-C extension cable is used to connect the two computers together. This extension cable is normally 10 feet long, but can be up to 50 feet long (and even longer if special “long range” RS- 232-C extension cables are used). The print rate and manual print switches serve to notify the personal computer which measurements are to be saved (or printed) in much the same way they are used when a pr

Remove the calibration access cover panel and set the calibration mode switch to the ZERO position. Also, be sure that the shunt resistor switch is set to the OFF position.

Have the dynamometer checked by your dealer or dyno service person. 1.3 Make sure that the load has been completely removed from the load cell.

The calibration torque produced is equal to the sum of the torque produced by the Torque Test Bar itself plus the torque produced by the test weight(s) – which is equal to the total weight of the test weight(s) times the horizontal distance from the center line of the dyno to the position of the test weights. For example, assume the torque of the torque test bar itself is 17 Ft.- Lbs., the total weight is 100 Lbs. and the horizontal distance is 4.00 Ft. The calibration torqu
