5. Non-contact measurements particularities
Reflective tape for non-contact measurement:
Cut the adhesive reflective tape provided into small squares and apply a
square to each rotating equipment
a) The non-reflective area must always be greater than the reflective area.
b) If the shaft is normally reflective, it must be covered with black tape or
black paint before attaching reflective tape.
c) Shaft surface must be clean and smooth before applying reflective tape.
Very Low RPM measurement:
When the rotation speed is very low, the user can attach more than one
reflective tape square to the rotating equipment.
The reading shown must then be divided by the number of reflective tape
squares used in order to obtain the real speed.
Note:
•
When the battery is depleted a battery symbol will be displayed when the
"MEAS" button is pressed.
•
Do not to allow any liquids or moisture to get inside the tachometer.
