New Model POWERVIEW MurphyLink/J1939 CAN Instruments
F. W. Murphy is pleased to announce the PowerView and PowerView Analog Gages as the latest additions to the Award Winning MurphyLink(TM) product family. The J1939 MurphyLink(TM) family of products meets the needs for instrumentation on modern electronically controlled engines, which communicate using the SAE J1939 Controller Area Network (CAN).
The PowerView System is comprised of the PowerView display and the PowerView Analog Gages. The PowerView is a multifunction tool that enables equipment operators to view many different engine or transmission parameters and service codes. The PowerView information is displayed on its graphical backlit LCD screen providing a window into the modern electronic engines and transmissions. The brightness of the back lighting can be controlled via menu or external dimmer potentiometer. The display can show either a single parameter or a quadrant display that includes four parameters simultaneously. Diagnostic capabilities include fault codes with text translation for the most common fault conditions.
The PowerView has four buttons using touch-sensitive technology which eliminates the concern of push button wear and failure. In addition, operators can navigate the display with ease. Enhanced alarm indication uses ultra-bright alarm and shutdown LEDs (amber and red). The PowerView has a wide operating temperature range of -40 to 185?F (-40 to +85?C), display viewing operating temperature range of -40 to 167?F (-40 to +75?C), and environmental sealing to +/-5 PSI (±34 kPa). In addition the PowerView features Deutsch DT style connectors molded into the casing , plus it fits quickly and easily into existing 2-1/16 in. (52 mm) diameter gage openings.
The microprocessor-based PowerView Analog Gages are a series of intelligent gages designed to display easy-to-read information transmitted by the PowerView. These modern gages, offered in a selection of lens and bezel styles and colors, display critical engine data such as RPM, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and system voltage. They include features such as a smooth stepper motor operation for the 270? sweep pointer, an environmentally sealed case with two Deutsch DT style connectors molded into the casing, and green LED back lighting. They are available for standard 2-1/16 (52 mm) and 3-3/8 in. (86 mm) diameter hole sizes.
In addition to the PowerView Analog Gages, a combination audible alarm and relay unit is offered. The PowerView Audible Alarm fits the standard two inch gage panel opening and is used for warning and shutdown annunciation.
New standard MurphyLink(TM) Plug & Go instrumentation panels will be released in the near future for the PowerView System. These pre-engineered panels are complete solutions for stationary and mobile applications.
