DIESEL TACHOMETER PPR CALCULATION

SIGNAL CALCULATION:
Given the continual introduction of alternator styles, it is
advisable to determine the PPR of the application before
installation.
 
The PPR calculation is PPR = P*R/2
----------------------------------------------------
"P" is the number of poles in the alternator.
----------------------------------------------------
"R" is the pulley ratio. Determine the pulley ratio by
dividing the crank pulley diameter by the alternator pulley
diameter.
Example:
 
# of poles 18
-------------------------------------------
Crank pulley diameter is 4.5"
-------------------------------------------
Alternator pulley diameter is 2".
-------------------------------------------
PPR = (18*(4.5/2))/2 = 20.25 PPR
