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.
