Making a measurement
First switch on the meter by pressing and holding the on/off key. To switch off the meter, you must
also keep this key pressed. As soon as the meter is switched on, the measurement starts directly
with the last measurement function used.
To select between the individual measuring functions, press the function key repeatedly.
The following functions are available:
Display when switching
Function
Scope
Stroboscope
type
Temperature measurement with K-type
thermocouple
Pt
Temperature measurement with a PT 1000
temperature sensor
Photo
Optical speed measurement
touch
Contact speed and velocity measurement
5.1
Stroboscope
To make a measurement with the stroboscope function, select the "Scope" function. Align the
LEDs in the direction of the test object. Now set the speed using the arrow keys. To double or
halve the rotation speed, hold down the double button and then use the arrow keys.
5.2
Optical speed measurement
To make an optical speed measurement, select the "Photo" function. Stick a 1 x 1 cm piece of
reflective tape onto the test object. Now switch on the test object and direct the light cone so that
it shines on the reflective tape. The speed of rotation is measured. Next to the measured value,
an indicator flashes once briefly as soon as the reflective tape has been recognised.
5.3
Contact revolution measurement
To make a contact revolution measurement, select the "touch" function. Plug the desired adaptor
onto the meter. Select the unit "RPM" with the UNIT key. Now carry out the measurement on the
test object.
Note:
The wheel attachment is only intended for speed measurement.
5.4
Contacting speed measurement
To make a contact speed measurement, select the "touch" function. Place the wheel attachment
on the meter. Press the UNIT key repeatedly until the desired unit is displayed. You can then
carry out the speed measurement.
5.5
Temperature measurement with a thermocouple
To perform a temperature measurement, select the "type" function. Insert a K-type thermocouple
into the meter. The measured value appears on the display.
5.6
Temperature measurement with a PT 1000 temperature sensor
To carry out a temperature measurement, select the "pt" function. Insert a PT 1000 resistance
temperature probe into the meter. The measured value is displayed directly.
