Do not directly view or direct the laser pointer toward an eye. Low power visible lasers do not normally present a hazard, but present potential for hazard if viewed directly for extended periods of time. The Laser in this unit complies with: FDA 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11, IEC 60825‐1 (2001‐2008) Edition 1.2. EN 60825‐ 1:1994/A11:1996/A2:2001/A1:2002 CAUTION! Rotating and linear moving objects can be dangerous. Use extreme care. RPM33-EU-EN V1.3 4/13 GlobalTestSupply www. .com nd Quality Products Online at: sales@GlobalTestSupply.co...

Page 5: Preparing For Measurements
1. Apply a square piece of reflective tape to the surface of the object under test (nominal tape size: 0.5”/12mm). Be sure to affix the tape as close to the outer edge of the object under test as possible. See diagram below. 2. If not already done, unscrew and remove the meter collar (item number 3 in the Description section diagram) 3. Proceed to the “Taking Measurements” section below. Contact Tachometer Preparation 1. If not already done, attach the collar (item number 3 in the Description section diagram) to the meter. 2. Slide the contact adaptor onto the tachometer’s shaft. Be sure to align the adaptor with the alignment pin on the shaft of the contact adaptor. 3. Attach a contact measurement accessory (cone, wheel, or concave accessory) onto the contact adaptor. 4. For Contact operation the meter can measure Surface Speed or Length. Read the section titled “Surface Speed and Length Measurement Modes” later in this guide for details. 5. Follow the steps in the “Taking Measurements” section below. RPM33-EU-EN V1.3 4/13 GlobalTestSupply www. .com nd Quality Products Online at: sales@GlobalTestSupply.co... -
Page 6: Taking Measurements
5. Verify that the ( ( ( ) ) ) monitor indicator appears on the LCD when the reflective tape passes through the light beam. 6. Read the measurement result from the LCD display. 7. When the MEASURE button is released the last reading will remain on the display for 5 to 10 seconds before the ‘Auto Power OFF’ feature switches the meter OFF. The HOLD display icon will switch ON. Non‐Contact (Photo tachometer) Measurement Considerations Bright ambient light may interfere with the reflected light beam. Shading the target area may be necessary in some cases. The non‐reflective area must always be larger than the reflective area. If the shaft or rotating object is normally reflective, it must be covered with black tape or paint before the reflective tape is applied. To improve repeatability of low RPM measurements, apply additional squares of reflective tape. Divide the reading shown on the display by the number of pieces of reflective tape squares to calculate the actual RPM. RPM33-EU-EN V1.3 4/13 GlobalTestSupply www. .com nd Quality Products Online at: sales@GlobalTestSupply.co... - Page 7 5. Read the measurement result from the LCD display. 6. When the Measure button is released the last reading will remain on the display for 5 to 10 seconds before the ‘Auto Power OFF’ feature switches the meter OFF. The HOLD display icon will switch ON. 7. To change the unit of measure, first release the MEASURE button. Then, momentary presses of the MODE button will step through the available units. Refer to the Specifications section and to the section below entitled “Surface Speed and Length Measurement Modes” for units of measure details. Surface Speed, Length, and Revolutions Measurement Modes 1. To switch between the Surface Speed and the Length measurement modes, press and hold the MODE button for two seconds. 2. The units of measure available in the Surface Speed mode are meters per minute (M/M), inches per minute (I/M), feet per minute (F/M), and yards per minute (Y/M). Step through the units selections with momentary presses of the MODE button. 3. The units of measure available in the Length measurement mode are meters (M), inches (I), feet (F), yards (Y), and revolutions (REV). The Revolutions (REV) mode is handy as a counter for use with custom sized wheel attachments to count (tally) wheel rotations. Step through the units selections with momentary presses of the MODE button. RPM33-EU-EN V1.3 4/13 GlobalTestSupply www. .com nd Quality Products Online at: sales@GlobalTestSupply.co...
- Page 8 A: No logging during this period MEM: MEM button is pressed momentarily, initial reading is logged and MIN/MAX/AVG logging begins B: MAX/MIN/AVG readings are tracked and recorded during this period MEAS‐02: MEASURE button is released (measurement session and logging ends) 1. Press and hold the MEASURE button to begin a measurement session as described earlier. 2. While holding down the MEASURE button, press the MEM button momentarily. The reading on the display at the time of the MEM button press (initial reading) will be stored in the current reading set and the MIN/MAX/AVG tracking will begin. Note the reading set memory location on the lower right hand corner of the LCD. 3. The MIN/MAX/AVG readings are calculated over the course of the measurement session (starting from when the MEM button is pressed and ending when the MEASURE button is released). MIN/MAX/AVG readings are stored in the same reading set as the ‘initial reading’. 4. Release the MEASURE button to end the measurement session. 5. Now, momentary presses of the MEM button step through the initial reading, MAX, MIN, and AVG readings stored in the current memory location. Note that subsequent presses of the MEM button step through the remaining nine memory locations; be sure to note the memory location number when reviewing data to avoid confusion. 6. When recalling data, press and hold the MEM button to quickly jump from one reading set to another. The reading set number, on the lower right, scrolls while the MEM button is held.
