5. Autorange selection - speed modes only
a)
While taking a measurement using either up or down measure button, the user can toggle between auto
and non-auto mode by pressing the programme button, in the auto mode, the A icon will illuminate.
6. Average speed monitoring mode - av.
a)
Average speed mode - this mode provides a rolling average of the last 8 measured values.
b)
Press and hold the On/off button at the forward arrow position and hold continuously
c)
Aim light beam onto target, ensure "on-target" sign is on at bottom of display screen.
d)
Take rpm reading.
7. Operation of Maximum & Minimum modes Speed Capture functions - mx, mn.
a)
Having selected the required mode, i.e. Maximum or Minimum, (mx,mn).
b)
You are now ready to Capture a reading "On Demand" but continuing to operate normally.
c)
When a capture test is ready to commence, while the Measure button is held On, press Programme
button once, at this point the instrument will switch into high speed Timebase mode, (0.1 Seconds)
and will Capture the highest or lowest reading after pressing the Programme button. Releasing the On
button will hold the reading and cancel the Capture mode until another Capture measurement is re-
quired, when c) should be repeated.
8. Count measurement mode - cnt
a)
Select the count mode (cnt).
b)
For counting revolution optically, point the light beam at the target and the instrument will measure all
revolutions (revs) until button is released, the display will hold Count for 1 minute.
c)
By contact method, fit contact adaptor, press speed cone onto the end of the shaft, the Instrument will
count revolutions.
9. Total Linear Length measurements - mt, ft, yd
Warning for A2109:
Ensure the contact adapter rotates freely before use.
Continuous contact time must not exceed 10 seconds.
a)
Select any linear unit of measurement, press contact wheel onto moving surface and commence Count
by pressing & holding Measure button On, Count will increment until button is released.
b)
The displayed value can be scanned through the equivalent values of Metres, Feet, Yards, Count by
pressing the Programming button, the instrument automatically calculates the appropriate reading.
Note. Measurement Units will be stored in originally programmed parameter e.g. metres.
10. Time interval measurement - int
a)
Select int mode.
b)
This mode allows measurement of Time between pulses from optical system (or contactor).
c)
Optically the instrument will measure the time in seconds between pulses, useful for cycle timing of
reciprocating machinery.
d)
(Time in seconds per revolution), which equals reciprocal speed.
e)
Very slow speeds can be measured in this mode below 3 rpm.
