Abstract
A rotary pulse generator kit for monitoring the rotation of a shaft includes an enclosure capable of accepting two different sensor modules. Each sensor module may include axially aligned magneto-resistive sensing elements that sense magnetic poles imprinted in a pattern on a rotor that rotates with the shaft. Two sensor modules having different incremental pulse output rates may be supplied with the tachometer kit. In this way, the shaft may be monitored by a pair of sensor modules pre-set at different incremental pulse output rates, mounted to the same enclosure.
