The Emerson 430 SpeedVue uses laser light to detect rotational speed without reflective tape. Using reflective tape may enhance the return signal, but in ideal cases, the Emerson 430 SpeedVue does not require any tape or paint marks and may function up to approximately 30 feet away from the equipment.

ATEX-certified AMS 2140 even in a safe area. WARNING! Do not use the Emerson 430 SpeedVue in a hazardous location. WARNING! For proper use of the Emerson 430 SpeedVue with your analyzer, refer to the analyzer’s approved installation drawing.

For visible-light lasers, Class 3B lasers’ output power is between 5 and 499 milliwatts. Note The Emerson 430’s output power is <5mW. The IEC identifies the laser as class 3B due to the duration of time the laser can be exposed during operation.
Page 8
User Guide August 2018 As the laser power increases, the risk of eye injury also increases. At the high end, around 250 to 500 milliwatts, even a brief exposure could cause retinal damage. Avoid all eye exposure to beams from Class 3B lasers. This includes unintentional or accidental exposures.
Page 9
Sunglasses are NOT laser protective eyewear. They are not rated to ensure light-attenuating protection. Most sunglasses will not block enough laser light to significantly reduce hazardous exposures. Markings The Emerson 430 has a laser radiation label that warns users to avoid exposure to the laser beam. Figure 1-1: Laser warning icon...

The provided cable functions as a key. Without the proper installation of the cable to the AMS 2140 and the Emerson 430, power will not be provided to the Emerson 430. When the Emerson 430 is not in use, the Emerson 430 and the cable should be disconnected from the AMS 2140 analyzer and should not be available to untrained users.

To avoid scratching the window, ensure all loose dirt and grit are removed by the blower/brush before wet cleaning. Note Keep the beam attenuator (dust cap) closed when the Emerson 430 SpeedVue is not in use. WARNING! Do not attempt to clean the optical window if the laser is on. Turn off the power and disconnect the power/signal cable from the Emerson 430 SpeedVue.

3/8-24 thread mount On the side of the Emerson 430 SpeedVue is a 3/8-24 threaded hole for use with Emerson’s Magnetic Swivel Base (B404-BASE). The Magnetic Swivel Base provides a strong magnetic mount for precise speed measurements and unlimited positioning.
