RPM Signal
The RPM Signal needs to be programmed prior to all other settings.
The SST7000 series is capable of accepting input signals from 2-wire (also known as
variable reluctance) magnetic pickups as well as 3-wire (powered, TTL or hall-effect) type
sensors. The output from 2-wire pickups is an AC signal where the 3-wire type will normally
have a positive-going (non zero-crossing) square wave output.

Gear Teeth
o
Required to convert RPM to Hz for
proper calibration
•
Sensitivity Level
o
Set for Med-High for most applications
o
Higher sensitivity will allow greater
sensitivity if needed for low speed
applications
o
Lower sensitivity will be less sensitive to
noise

Max Wave Duration
o
The Max Wave Duration is defined as the maximum time allowed between input
signal pulses before a sensor fault is declared. For example, a shaft with 2
keyways turning at 0 – 10 RPM would have an extremely low frequency range,
calibrated below:
Frequency = RPM X # teeth / 60
= 10 X 2 / 60 = 0.333 Hz
Then, the period (time in seconds between pulses) is calculated as:
Period
= 1 / Frequency
= 1 / 0.333 = 3 seconds
In this example, the pulses would be received in time intervals of once every 3
seconds or longer. The Max Wave Duration can be configured to a maximum
value of 10,000 milliseconds (10 seconds) to allow for this low speed range.
Any pulse not received within 10 seconds would be considered a sensor fault.
o
Note that the default value of 1000 Milliseconds (1 second) is correct for most
applications.
