7.  CONFIGURATION EXAMPLE

In this example a BA314G Tachometer is connected to
a  proximity  detector  producing  105  pulses  per
revolution.

The BA314G is required to display rotational speed in
RPM  with  a  resolution  of  one  RPM.    The  run-time
clock  is  to  operate  when  the  shaft  speed  exceeds
5  RPM.  The  display  is  to  be  updated  twice  per
second.

For this application the  operator needs  to reset the
run-time display to zero from the display mode, but
should not be able to reset the grand total run-time
from  the  display  mode.    To  prevent  tampering  the
instrument configuration menu is to be protected by
security code of 1209.

7.1  Configuration procedure

The BA314G Tachometer may be configured on-site
without disconnection from the power supply or from
the proximity detector.

Step 1

Enter the configuration menu

Enter  the  configuration  menu  by
simultaneously  pressing  

(

 and  

)

.

Assuming a security code has not already
been entered the instrument will respond
by  displaying  

inPut

  which   is   the   first

function  in  the  configuration  menu.   See
Fig 10.

Step 2

Select the type of input & debounce

With  

inPut

 displayed press  

(  

which will

reveal the sub-menu.   Using the 

&

 or 

*

button  select  

inP

 

.

 

tYPE

  and  press  

(  

to

reveal the current input.   The Tachometer
is  required  to  work  with  a  proximity
detector  so  again  using  the  

&

 or  

*

button  select  

Pr.

 

dEt

 followed  by  

)  

to

return to the  

inP

 

.

 

tYPE

 prompt in the sub-

menu.
Using  the  

&

 or  

*

 button  select

dEbouncE

  from  the  sub-menu  and  press

(

.  Using  the  

&

 or  

*

 button  select

dEFAuLt

 which will provide moderate pulse

edge noise protection.  If the Tachometer
is  subsequently  found  to  miscount  the
noise   rejection   can   be   increased.     Enter
the  selection  and  return  to  the  

inPut

prompt  in  the  configuration  menu  by
pressing the 

button twice.

See 6.4, 6.5 and 6.6

Step 3

Select  the  interval  between  display
updates

Using the  

&

 or  

*

 button select  

uPdAtE

in the configuration menu and press 

to

reveal  how  frequently  the  Tachometer
display is updated.

Using the  

&

 or  

*

 push button select

0

 

.

 

5

 (0.5  seconds  i.e. 2  display updates

per  second).    Enter  the  selection  and
return  to  the  

uPdAtE

 prompt  in  the

configuration  menu  by pressing  the  

)

button.
See 6.7

Step 4

Run-time display 

Using the 

&

 or 

*

 button select 

di5P-2

in the configuration menu and press  

(

to select if the run-time display is  

on

 or

oFF

.    The  Tachometer  is  required  to

display run-time therefore using the  

&

or  

*

 button select  

on

 and press  

)  

to

enter  the  selection  and  return  to  the

di5P-2

 prompt in the configuration menu.

See 6.8

Step 5

Position  of  decimal  point  in  speed
display.

Select  

dP

  from  the  configuration  menu

and press 

(

. The speed display will be

activated  and  identified  by  the  Rate
annunciator.  Using the  

&

 or  

*

 push

button  position the decimal point to  the
right of the least significant digit to give a
total display resolution of 1.
Finally press the  

)  

button to enter the

selection and return to the  

dP

 prompt in

the configuration menu.

See 6.9

Step 6

Enter the speed scale factor

5CALE.5

  is  a  dividing  factor  adjustable

between 0.0001 and 99999 that enables
the Tachometer  to display speed in the
required  engineering  units.    The  speed
display  timebase  is  determined  by

t-bA5E

 that is adjusted in Step 7.

In  this  example  the  Tachometer  speed
display  is  required  in  revolutions  per
minute.  The proximity detector produces
105  pulses  per  revolution  therefore

5CALE

 

.

 

5

 should therefore be adjusted to

105.0.

Using the  

&

 or  

*

 push button select

5CALE.5

  from  the  configuration  menu

and press 

to reveal the existing value

with one digit flashing.   This should be
changed   to   105.0   using   the  

&

 or  

*

push  button  to  adjust  the  flashing  digit
and the  

(  

button to transfer control to

the next digit and to position the decimal
point.  Finally, enter the new value and
return  to  the  

5CALE

 

.

 

5

  prompt  in  the

configuration menu by pressing
