It can be used in Class 3C2 environments and is resistant to SO2 and H2S gases. Model 8237-1368 is configured to run automatic routine over-speed tests. This is done with an internal frequency powered by a generator.

The panel mount is an independent relay device with a high voltage power input. It has a speed readout of 4 to 20 mA. Model 8237-1368 weighs 23 pounds or less and has vibration resistance of 10 to 500 Hz. It can be stored in temperatures from -4 to 158 degrees Fahrenheit and should be operated in temperatures from -4 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Product 8237-1368 is designed to be easily integrated into any turbine safety system. It uses individual alarm relays.
