Description
The STN Atlas DZM 402 (Part Number 271.149 289/B) is a specialized Speed Relay Module designed for critical machinery monitoring, particularly in marine propulsion and heavy industrial rotating equipment. This module functions as a safety and protection unit that monitors rotational speed (RPM) via magnetic pick-up or inductive sensors. It provides high-speed switching capabilities to trigger alarms, initiate shutdowns, or manage system interlocks when speed thresholds (overspeed or underspeed) are breached. Renowned for its precision and resilience, the DZM 402 is a staple component in legacy STN Atlas (now part of various maritime technology groups) control systems, ensuring the integrity of engine and turbine operations.

Important Technical Note: The DZM 402 271.149 289/B is a safety-critical device. The speed setpoints are typically adjusted via potentiometers or internal configuration jumpers. When replacing this module, it is vital to ensure the new unit’s setpoints match the original calibration values exactly to prevent unexpected engine trips or a failure to detect a true overspeed condition. Always verify the output relay configuration (normally-energized vs. normally-de-energized) matches your specific safety circuit design.
