The display will indicate the RPM value. 4. The RPM value equals : Total input signal (pulse) per min. Number of pulses per revolution Example: If the total signal (pulse) input per minute is 5,124, the number of pulses per revolution is set to 1, the RPM value will be; 5,124/1 = 5,124 Surface speed ( m/min., ft/min. ) measurement 1. Apply power to the meter 2. Press the "Function” button once until the "m/min” indicator is on. The display will show the m/min. value. 3. Press the "Function” button once until the "ft/min” indicator is on. The display will show the ft/min. value. 4. Under the surface speed measurement, the "PV” indicator will also light. 5. To calculate m/min: Total input signal ( pulse ) per min. x roller diameter ( cm ) x 3.14 Number of pulses per revolution ÷ 100 Example: If the total input signal (pulse) per minute is 501, the number of pulses per revolution is set to 1, the roller diameter is 10 cm the m/min. value will be; 501/1 x 10 x 3.14/100 = 157.3 6. To calculate ft/min: Total input signal ( pulse ) per min. x roller diameter ( cm ) x 3.14 Number of pulses per revolution ÷ 30.48 Example: If the total input signal (pulse) per minute is 501, the number of pulses per revolution is set to 1, the roller diameter is 10 cm the ft/min. value will be; 501/1 x 10 x 3.14/30.48 = 516.1 5 461960 V1.1 8/07 1st layer setting procedures CtSP Control value setting LoLt Low limit value setting HILt High limit value setting Control Value Setting 1. Press the "Set” button" once, the display will show " CtSP ", the meter is now ready for the " Control value " setting. 2. Use the "▼” button and the "▲” to adjust the desired "Control value".
