INSTALLATION
2.0 Inspection and Unpacking
Inspect shipping container for external damage. All claims for damage (apparent or concealed) or partial loss of shipment
must be made in writing to Dynapar within (5) days from receipt of goods. If damage or loss is apparent, please notify the
shipping agent immediately.
Open shipping container and locate the packing list. The packing list is included to verify that all components, accessories,
and manual were received. Please use the packing list to check off each item as the unit is unpacked. Inspect for damage.
We recommend that the shipping container be retained for future shipping, storage, or return to factory purposes.
Dynapar cannot be responsible for any missing parts unless notified within 60 days of shipment.
2.1 Painting considerations
The enclosure may be painted. Please pay attention to the following considerations.
Corrosion preventative grease has been applied to the enclosure. Standard degreasing practices
must be followed before applying paint.
•
Do not hinder the latches on the connector if the connector is painted.
•
If the enclosure is painted before the sensor module(s) is added, be sure to mask off the area where the sensor module(s)
will be placed. The module must mate directly to the enclosure with nothing between. Failure to do this will degrade the
alignment of the system and may cause it to fail.
•
Ensure excess paint runoff does not clog Enclosure drain holes.
2.2 Mechanical Installation
The RIM Tach 1250 utilizes a modular
construction, allowing the user to configure
the unit as a one or two signal output
tachometers. Sensor modules are universal
and interchangeable. If one output requires
replacement, simply remove four screws,
and replace with a new sensor module. No
electrical adjustment or alignment is
required. Also, you never have to remove
the RIM Tach 1250 enclosure from the
motor. Other devices such as brakes or gear
reducers mounted from the RIM Tach 1250
do not need to be removed. After unpacking
the unit and verifying receipt of the items
listed on the packing list, you may proceed
with mechanical installation.
