The testo 477 can be used in many areas of industry, research & development, in laboratories and universities. Normally, the testo 477 is used when the aim is to show fast- moving objects in slow motion.

Overview 1 LCD display shows flash sequence (flashes per minute = FPM). For different parameters that can be shown in the display, see Setting options (page 36).
For more information on the visual slowing down of the movement of an object as well as the use of your testo 477 as a rev counter can be found under Instructions for use for the special functions of the instrument (page 42).
6 Using the product 6.1.1. Setting options For status displays see Status displays (page 33). All setting options in the display are shown in the image. The numbering corresponds to the sequence in which they succeed one another by pressing the button.
6 Using the product 6.1.2. Factory reset ✓ The instrument is switched on. 1. Press + [–]. Instrument is reset to the factory settings. Instrument returns to Measuring Mode. 6.1.3. Key lock ✓ The instrument is switched on. 1. Press + [–].
General application information 7.1.1. Slowing down motion As discussed, the primary use of the testo 477 is to slow down or “freeze” the apparent motion of moving objects. This allows you to analyse their run-time performances safely and easily. To make an object appear to move in slow motion, you need to strobe it at a rate slightly above or slightly below its actual speed (or any harmonic of its speed as discussed below).
7.1.4. Determing an object’s true RPM The testo 477 can be used as a digital tachometer to determine the true RPM and/ or the reciprocation rate of an object. This is done by visually “freezing” the object’s movement and then reading the LCD display.

Example 1 (mark needed): This example shows why identifying marks are important. Suppose you want to determine the true RPM of this fan.

7 Application information Image No.: Flash 3,300 2,200 1,650 1,320 Rate: Image No.: Flash 1,100 733.3 Rate: Using the orientation mark, it is now clear that the images appearing at 3,300, 1,650 and 825 RPM are multipleimage harmonics. In each of these cases, three identification marks appear.
A singular image does appear at 3,000 and again at 1,500 RPM. 1,500 is one half of 3,000. Therefore, the rate is 3,000 RPM. Pos: 34 /TD/Überschriften/x.x.
