Note: A K3NR with DC supply voltage requires approximately 1 A DC as control power supply current the moment the K3NR is turned ON. Do not
forget to take this into consideration when using several K3NR units. When the K3NR is not in measuring operation (e.g., the K3NR has
been just turned ON or is operating for startup compensation time), the display will read “00000” and all outputs will be OFF.

■ Main Functions
Output Pattern Selection c-out
Startup Compensation Time stime
The patterns of comparative output are selectable according to the
level change. Select the pattern according to the application.
The startup compensation time parameter keeps the measurement
operation from sending an unnecessary output corresponding to
instantaneous, fluctuating input from the moment the K3NR is turned
ON until the end of the preset period.
Standard Output
Set value HH
The compensation time can be set in a range from 0.0 to 99.9 seconds as the waiting time until the devices subject to measurement
become stable after the startup of the power supply.

Precautions
!WARNING
Do not touch any of the terminals while the power is being supplied. Doing so may result in electric shock.
!Caution
Do not allow metal objects or conductive wire cuttings to enter the
product. Doing so may result in electric shock, fire, or malfunction.
!Caution
Do not attempt to take the product apart or touch any internal parts
while the power is being supplied. Doing so may result in electric
shock.
!Caution
Do not use the product in locations subject to flammable or explosive gases. Doing so may result in explosion.
!Caution
The lifetime of output relays varies greatly with the switching capacity and conditions. Consider the actual operating conditions,
and use the relays within the rated load without exceeding the
number of operations specified as the rated electrical life. Using
relays beyond their rated electrical life may result in contact deposit or burning.
!Caution
Do not use loads exceeding the rated value. Doing so may result
in damage or burning.
!Caution
Use a power supply voltage within the specified range. Not doing
so may result in damage or burning.
!Caution
Use settings that are appropriate for the control system. Discrepancies between the settings and the actual control conditions may
result in unexpected operation leading to damage or accidents.
!Caution
Be sure to tighten terminal screws to the specified torque.
Specified torque for M3.5 screws: 0.74 to 0.90 N·m
Loose screws may result in burning or malfunction.
■ Application Precautions
• Use a power supply voltage within the specified range. Not doing
so may result in damage or burning.
• Be sure to perform wiring correctly, verifying the terminal names.
Incorrect wiring may result in burning.
• Be sure to tighten the screws on the terminal block properly.
• Do not connect anything to unused terminals.
■ Correct Use
Long-term Use
Use all products within the specified ranges. When using inside a
control panel, ensure that the temperature around the product, rather
than the temperature around the control panel, does not exceed the
specified temperature range. Electronic products, such as this product, have a lifetime that is dependent on the lifetime of internal electronic components, as opposed to the lifetime related to the number
of relay switching operations. The lifetime of these components varies with the temperature; the higher the temperature, the shorter the
lifetime. Therefore, the product lifetime can be extended by lowering
the internal temperature of the product.
When several Frequency/Rate Meters are mounted close together
(either horizontally or vertically), the internal temperature of the Frequency/Rate Meters may rise, leading to a reduction in the lifetime. In
this case, take measures to cool the Frequency/Rate Meters, such as
installing fans. Ensure, however, that the terminals are not cooled as
this may lead to incorrect measurement.
Operating Environment
Do not use the product in locations subject to temperatures or humidity levels above the specified ranges, or in locations subject to condensation.
Do not use the product in locations subject to severe shocks or vibrations.
Separate the product from machines that generate high-frequency
noise, such as high-frequency welding machines and high-frequency
sewing machines.
Do not use the product in locations subject to dust or corrosive
gases.
Do not use the product outdoors or in locations subject to direct sunlight.
Operation
When using models with comparative outputs, if an error occurs at
the Frequency/Rate Meter, comparative output may not operate correctly. We therefore recommend that you consider providing an alarm
system separately as a countermeasure.
Parameter settings that allow the functions to operate properly are
made, using the setting menu, at the factory prior to delivery. When
using the product, change the settings as required for the application.
Mounting
Recommended panel thickness is 1 to 3.2 mm.
Panel
K-144
Frequency/Rate Meter K3NR
Attach the mounting bracket on the left and right sides of the Frequency/Rate Meter as shown in the illustration above and gradually
tighten each screw evenly in turn by considering the balance of the
tightening force until the ratchets start slipping without being further
tightened.
Unit Label (Provided)
No product is shipped with the unit label attached. Select a unit label
from the sheet provided and attach it to the Frequency/Rate Meter.
Mount the Frequency/Rate Meter as horizontally as possible.
Waterproof Specifications
Products for which the degree of protection is not specified or models
with IP@0 degree of protection do not have waterproof specifications.
Noise Countermeasures
Separate the product as far as possible from machines that generate
high-frequency noise, such as high-frequency welding machines and
high-frequency sewing machines, and machines that generate
surges.
Attach surge absorbers or noise filters to noise-generating peripheral
devices (in particular, devices with inductance such as motors, transformers, solenoids, and magnet coils).

In order to prevent inductive noise, wire the lines connected to the
terminal block separately from power lines carrying high voltages or
large currents. Also, do not wire in parallel to, or in the same cable as
power lines. There are other methods that are effective for reducing
noise, such as running wires along ducts and using shield lines.
When using a noise filter for the power supply, check the voltage and
current and install as close to the Frequency/Rate Meter as possible.

Prescaling
To display rotational speeds, circumferential speeds, or other
values based on input pulse calculations, the rotational speed
must be multiplied by a factor input before the input pulses are
measured. This factor is called
a prescale value.
K3NR
Proximity Sensor
Rotation speed (rpm) = f × 60 × a
Where,
f: Input pulse frequency (p/s)
a: Prescale value
If there are 5 pulses per rotation, then an accurate rotation
speed can be calculated if a = 1/5 (= 0.2 = 2 × 10-1).
In actual application, input as follows:
Mantissa X = 2.0000
Exponent Y = 10-1
Auto-zero Time (Set before use.)
In operation modes 1 to 6, the time to force-zero the frequency if
no pulse is received for a specified period can be set. This time
is called the auto-zero time. Set the auto-zero time to a value
that is somewhat longer than the longest input pulse interval. (If
the time setting is too long or if the factory-set value is used, the
display may not return to zero even if no input pulse is
received.)

■ Operating Modes
The K3NR provides 7 operating modes for converting input pulses to display values. The mode can be selected via key operations on the front
panel.
Basically, the operating modes can be divided into the following two groups.
Operating Modes 1 to 6
Operating Mode 7
Rotational speed and other displays are based on calculations for
continuous pulses (frequency).
The number of pulses is measured. Each pulse is counted as 1 count
up to a maximum of 99,999 counts. Decrementing the count is not
possible. Although the limits of the display enables displaying only up
to 99,999 counts, prescaling can be used to count up to
4 gigacounts.

The count is reset by shorting terminals 6 and 7 (RESET ON) or by
pressing the RESET/TEACH Key on the front panel
Operating mode no.
Because only incrementing is possible, the L and LL comparative
outputs turn ON when the measured values exceed set values.

Basic Principles of Rotational Speed Displays
The ON/OFF time (T) of a sensor input or other input is measured
with the internal system clock to automatically calculate the frequency. This frequency is multiplied by 60 and displayed as a rotational speed.
Input sensor pulse ON/OFF time (T) =
Frequency (f) = 1/T
T
Rotational speed (rpm) = f x 60
Circumferential speed = Circumference x Rotational speed
Passing time = Processing length/Circumferential speed
Automatic measuring by the K3NR is enabled simply by providing an
input pulse.
