2. Explanation of symbols

The symbol with the exclamation mark in the triangle is used to indicate important information in these operating instructions. Always read this information carefully. The arrow symbol indicates special information and advice on operation.

The product is designed to measure and display rotation speed and belt speed. Measurements are either non-contact via the built-in laser or per direct contact using the included adapters. The measured values are shown on the 5-digit LC display. The product features a memory with space for 40 measured values which allows the user to retrieve the maximum, minimum and average values from a stored measuring procedure. Power supply is via a 9 V block battery. It is intended for indoor use only. Do not use it outdoors. Contact with moisture, e.g. in bath- rooms, must be avoided under all circumstances. For safety and approval purposes, you must not rebuild and/or modify this product. Using the product other than for its intended purpose as described above can damage the product or pose ariskofinjury.Readtheinstructionscarefullyandstoretheminasafeplace.Makethisproduct available to third parties only together with its operating instructions.

• When operating the laser equipment, always make sure that the laser beam is directedsothatnooneisintheprojectionareaandthatunintentionallyreected beams(e.g.,fromreectiveobjects)cannotbedirectedintoareaswherepeople are present.

• Laserradiationcanbedangerous,ifthelaserbeamoritsreectionentersun- protected eyes. Therefore, before using the laser equipment, familiarise yourself with the statutory regulations and instructions for operating such a laser device.

• Never look into the laser beam and never point it at people or animals. Laser radiation can seriously damage your eyes.

• If laser radiation enters your eyes, close your eyes immediately and move your head away from the beam.

• If your eyes have been irritated by laser radiation, do not continue to carry out tasks with safety implications, such as working with machines, working from great heights or close to high voltage. Also, do not operate any vehicles until the irrita- tion has completely subsided.

• Donotpointthelaserbeamatmirrorsorotherreectivesurfaces.Theuncon- trolled,reectedbeammaystrikepeopleoranimals.

• Never open the device. Setting or maintenance tasks must only be executed by a trained specialist familiar with potential hazards. Improperly executed adjust- ments might result in dangerous laser radiation.

• The product is equipped with a class 2 laser. Laser signs in different languages are included in the package. If the sign on the laser is not written in the language ofyourcountry,pleaseafxtheappropriatesignontothelaser.

• Caution: if operation settings or procedures other than those described in these instructions are used, it could lead to exposure to dangerous radiation.

1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the screw from the battery compartment lid (1) and

2. Connect a 9 V block battery to the corresponding connection inside the battery compart-

ment. Only one orientation is possible. Do not use force.

3. Store the battery and the cable inside the battery compartment.

4. Close the battery compartment. Make sure that the cable is not pinched.

There are two inward-pointing pegs on the case handle. Proceed as follows to attach the handle:

1. Insert one peg into one of the holes.

2. Carefully stretch the handle and then insert the second peg into the other hole.

3. To remove the handle, proceed in reverse order.

• You must screw the included extension attachment (11) into the thread (4). Conducting non-contact measurements without the extension attachment can result in unstable meas- urements. b) Contact measurement

1. Screw the included extension attachment (11) into the thread (4) on the device.

2. Screw the adapter holder (10) into the extension attachment thread.

3. Select one of the three contact adapters:

- Outer cone (9), suitable for concave shaft ends - Inside cone (8), suitable for conical shaft ends - Friction wheel (7), suitable for measuring belt speed (e.g. fan belts, conveyor belts, belt saws, etc.)

4. There are two short and two long slots on the bottom of each of the three contact adapters.

Place the contact adapter you wish to use on the adapter holder’s axis so that the axis lock- ingpintsintooneoftheshortslots.

10. Conducting measurements

1. Press the MEASbutton(6)brieytoturnonthedevice.

2. RepeatedlypresstheMEM button (2) to select one of the 10 memory cells (DATA 0 to DATA 9).

The memory cell icon appears on the bottom right of the display (3). Moreinformationonstoringmeasuredvaluesiscontainedunder“Storing/Retrieving measured values”.

3. You can choose between two sequences for units of measurement. Press and hold the

MODE button (5) for approx. 3 seconds to toggle between the sequences.

4. Then repeatedly press the MODE button until the display shows the desired unit of meas-

M Total distance in meter (contact via friction wheel)

In Total distance in inches (contact via friction wheel)

FT Total distance in feet (contact via friction wheel)

Yd Total distance in yards (contact via friction wheel) a) Non-contact measurement

1. Follow the steps above to select the desired unit of measurement.

274. Ifreectionissuccessful,theicon appears on the top right of the display (3). The meas-

ured value is shown in the middle of the display. If the display shows “OL”, the measurement range was exceeded. The display shows the multiplier X10 for measured values >10,000. Multiply the dis- played value by 10 to obtain the correct measured value.

5. ReleasetheMEASbutton(6)whenyouhavenishedmeasuring.“HOLD”appearsonthe

top right of the display and the measured value is frozen on the display. The device will turn off automatically after approx. 15 seconds. Slowly rotating components may result in inaccurate measurements. In this case, at- tachseveralequallyspacedreectivestripstothetestobject.Thendividethemeasur- ingresultbythenumberofreectivestripstoobtainthecorrectmeasuredvalue. b) Contact measurement Exercise extreme caution when conducting contact measurements as rotating ma- chine components pose a risk of serious injury should they come into contact with any body parts.

1. Follow the steps above to select the desired unit of measurement.

2. Press and hold the MEAS button (6).

3. Press the contact adapter (7, 8 or 9) at a right angle against the test object.

4. The measured value is shown in the middle of the display (3). If the display shows “OL”, the

measurement range was exceeded. The display shows the multiplier X10 for measured values >10,000. Multiply the dis- played value by 10 to obtain the correct measured value.

5. ReleasetheMEASbuttonwhenyouhavenishedmeasuring.“HOLD”appearsonthetop

right of the display and the measured value is frozen on the display. The device will turn off automatically after approx. 15 seconds. c) Storing/Retrieving measured values You can store up to ten data sets (DATA 0 to DATA 9). A data set consists of four measured values:

• minimum value (MIN) and

• average value (AVG). 28Proceed as follows to store and retrieve measured values:

1. Whenyouhavenishedmeasuring,presstheMEM button (2) while holding down the MEAS

button (6). The values from the current measuring procedure are stored. The display jumps to the next data set.

2. ReleasetheMEAS button and conduct further measurements as needed.

3. To retrieve stored values, repeatedly press the MEM button until the desired data set ap-

pears on the bottom right of the display (3). The last registered value from the stored meas- uring process is shown in the middle of the display.

4. Press the MEMbuttonbrieytotogglebetweenthemaximumvalue,minimumvalueand

average value. This applies only to values stored in Sequence 1. Stored values remain in the memory even if you replace the battery. You can overwrite old values by selecting any memory cell, conducting measurements and storing the values following the above steps. There are no maximum/minimum/average values for the functions from Sequence 2 (REV,M,In,FTandYd).

11. Care and cleaning

Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents, rubbing alcohol or other chemical solu- tions as they can cause damage to the housing and malfunctioning. Do not immerse the product in water.

• The device is maintenance-free apart from occasional cleaning.
