The Murphy SELECTRONIC MT90 is a digital
tachometer. Its high accuracy and dependability
result from use of a quartz crystal time based and
digital, solid-state electronics.

Power Requirements:
• Pickup Power: 4-35Vrms**.
Tachometer power is supplied by either a Murphy
magnetic pickup, mounted at the flywheel ring-
gear of an engine, or by a 12, 24 or 32 volt DC
battery system.
RPM data is supplied by either a Murphy magnet-
ic pickup or by the alternator in your battery
charging circuit. The MT90 also has back-lighting
for easy readings in low lit areas; this lighting
requires a battery power source.
• Battery Power: 8-40 VDC (12, 24, 32 volt).
Current:
• Tach back-light Off, 4mA @ 40 VDC.
• Tach back-light On, 25 mA @ 40 VDC.

RPM Calibration
Operating Temperature: -4 to 158°F
The MT90 is calibrated to engine RPM by setting a
series of calibration rotary switches on the back of
the tachometer. The proper switch sequence for the
engine is determined by (1) the number of ring gear
teeth for the magnetic pickup, or (2) by the ratio of
alternator to engine pulley diameter, and the num-
ber of poles of the alternator.
