5. Non-contact measurements particularities
Relective tape for non-contact measurement:
Cut the adhesive relective tape provided into small squares and apply a
square to each rotating equipment
a) The non-relective area must always be greater than the relective area.
b)
If the shaft is normally relective, it must be covered with black tape or
black paint before attaching relective tape.
c) Shaft surface must be clean and smooth before applying relective tape.
Very Low RPM measurement:
When the rotation speed is very low, the user can attach more than one
relective tape square to the rotating equipment.
The reading shown must then be divided by the number of relective tape
squares used in order to obtain the real speed.
Note:
• When the battery is depleted a battery symbol will be displayed when the
“MEAS” button is pressed.
• Do not to allow any liquids or moisture to get inside the tachometer.
