VIBSCANNER 11.2010

RPM measurement
For a reliable RPM measurement, a reflecting mark
(e.g. Reflective tape, VIB 3.306) must be attached to
the shaft.
If you attach more than one measurement mark to the
circumference of the shaft, you must enter the number
in the transducer setup (‘Pulse/Rev.’ parameter).
The optimum measuring distance lies between 10 and
50 cm.
• Select the RPM symbol in the main window.
• Point the VIBSCANNER at the shaft.
• Click on the RPM icon to start the measurement.
• Line up the red beam with the mark on the shaft. Hold
the device horizontally.
Every time the mark passes the beam, the reflected
beam generates a trigger pulse in the device and the
green LED flashes on the display. The measurement
stops when the measured value has stabilized.
