CAP 4224627 - Caterpillar

The 9U-7400 Multitach can measure engine speed from a tachometer drive on the engine. The multitach also has the ability to measure engine speed from visual engine parts in rotation.Refer to Special Instruction, SEHS7807 for instructions about the test procedure.The 6V-4950 Speed Pickup is another diagnostic tool accessory that can be used with the 9U-7400 Multitach. The speed pickup can be used on all Caterpillar Diesel Engines that are equipped with 6 mm (0.25 inch) single wall fuel injection lines. Engine speed can be measured quickly and automatically with this pickup group. The accuracy is 1 rpm.

An engine relies on set point for the correct operation of the engine. The set point check of the engine is a method that will diagnosis engine performance.There is a new, more accurate method for checking the set point of the engine. Review the required tools for the new method. If these tools are not available, you can use an alternative method for checking set point.

8T-0500     Continuity Tester     1    If the set point is correct and the high idle rpm is within specifications, the fuel system operation of the engine is correct. The set point for the engine is determined by these factors:
20 rpm greater than full load rpm.
The rpm upon contact between the rack stop collar and the torque spring or the stop bar.
The rpm where the engine gets the maximum amount of fuel per stroke.
The rpm where the engine has maximum horsepower output.
The rpm where an increase in load on the engine puts the engine in a lug condition. A lug condition is where a small increase in load causes the engine speed to decrease.Use the following procedure to check the set point.
