Technical data and functions
• Optical probe for measurements of rotational speed, designed as retroreflective photoelectric sensor for photoelectric detection of rotational speeds.
• For evaluation of the pulses, the tachometer probe is equipped with a specific frequency meter module that calculates the number of revolutions per minute from the time period between two pulses. A stable read-out is achieved by averaging over a minimum of 500 ms.
• Easy application: A reflective adhesive tape is attached to the moving part and the probe is aligned with it. For function control purposes a yellow signal lamp at the rear side of the probe will be on when the reflective adhesive tape is recognised.
• To increase the operation reliability the sensitivity can be adjusted through a potentiometer.
