Proton Products SL mini and SLR mini Series Speed and Length Gauges Instruction Manual - issue 1s
Auto Reset
When Object
Detected
[OFF]
Accumulate the length measurement across all discrete
objects.
0.12
ON
Reset the length measurement on detection of the next
discrete object.
Object
Detection
Threshold
0 ~ [15] ~100%
Set a DC level percentage threshold above which an
object is considered as present.
-
Length Auto
Save
[OFF]
The length measurement will be reset to zero when the
gauge is powered-up.
0.10
ON
The length measurement just prior to a power
interruption is stored in non-volatile memory and will
resume from this stored value on subsequent power-up.
Speed
Averaging
Time
5 ~ [200] ~
5000ms
Set the time period (in milliseconds) over which the
measured speed is averaged.
A longer averaging period results in a more stable speed
measurement (and pulse output rate) which is less
sensitive to small and sudden speed changes.
2
Hold Time
1 ~ [100] ~
5000ms
Set the time to hold the last speed measurement after
speed signal loss.
The “Hold Time” should be set to a sufficiently long
period to cover any momentary speed signal dropouts
due to surface irregularities on the measured object.
3
Length Offset
-3000.0 ~
3000.0
m{ft}{yds}{inch}
Set the length offset value.
For an object threaded through the production line, the
unmeasured length located beyond the gauge may be
entered here (as a positive value) to add to the
measured length to yield the correct total length.
14
Speed
Compensation
[1.0000]
Set a value other than the default value of 1.0000 to
apply a compensation factor to the measured speed.
38
Minimum
Speed Limit
[0] ~ 6553.5
m{ft}{yds}/min
Set the minimum speed at which the gauge is required
to measure speed; for speeds below this value, the
gauge will register a speed of zero.
This value may be set to avoid drift in the measured
length when the object is stationary due to measurement
noise.
11
Acceleration
Limit
1 ~ [9999]
m{ft}{yds}/min/s
Not currently in use.
39
Reel Number
Displays the current reel number.
The “Reel Number” may be incremented by activation of
a logic input configured for the “End of Reel” function.
-
Panel Key
Button Switch
[Enabled]
When
“
Enable
”
is selected, the two buttons (Reset and
Pause) located on the LCD display of the gauge will be
active.
Disabled
When
“
Disable
”
is selected, the two buttons (Reset and
Pause) located on the LCD display of the gauge will be
inactive to avoid wrong operations.
Reset
Click to reset the “Reel Number”
to zero.
The “Reel Number” may also be reset by activation for
longer than 5 seconds of a logic input configured for the
“Reset” function.
Test
The “Test” function simulates the measurement of a user set speed by the
gauge even when there is no object being measured; pulse outputs will
generate pulses corresponding to the “Preset Speed”.
