User Guide Panel Mount Digital Tachometer Model 461950 Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the Extech 461950 Panel Tachometer. This meter displays continuous readings from 5 to 99,990 rpm. Single pulse activation eliminates the need for special gears when setting up the meter in any given application. Models 461955 (proximity sensor) and 461957 (photoelectric sensor) are also covered in this manual. Careful use of these devices will provide years of reliable service.

The 461950 dimensions are: Meter: 3.61 x 1.66 x 3.54 " (92 x 42 x 90 mm) Bezel: 3.78 x 1.89 x 2.36 " (96 x 48 x 60 mm) 2. 3. Prepare a panel cutout with the following dimensions: 3.62 x 1.77" (92 x 45 mm). The Tachometer will fit a standard 1/8 DIN cutout. Mounting hardware is provided which attaches to the sides of the meter. The screws attached to the mounting bracket should be tightened to the back of the panel (avoid over-tightening which can bow the meter housing). Proximity Switch Model 461955 Mounting Use the mounting holes to secure the proximity switch to the desired surface. The sensor is the side of the switch that detects a moving metal object such as a gear tooth or a fan blade. The sensor side of the switch has an X on it and is located on the opposite side of the switch from the wiring cable. Refer to the top view diagram below. The Proximity switch must be mounted so that the object being detected passes within 0.16" (4mm) of the sensor side of the switch. The pulse LED will light when the sensor detects a metal object. Pulse LED Mount holes + Sensor + Cabling Photoelectric Sensor Model 461957 Mounting Use the mounting holes to secure the photoelectric sensor to the desired surface. The photo beam is generated and detected in the groove (as depicted by the dotted line in the diagram below). The object under test must pass in the groove so that the light beam can be interrupted.

Model 461955 Proximity Switch Wiring 1. 2. 3. Brown wire (10 - 30V supply signal) to terminal 3 on the panel tachometer (+12V) Black wire to terminal 2 Blue wire to terminal 1 Model 461957 Photoelectric Sensor Wiring 1. Brown wire connects to terminal 3 of the panel tachometer 2. Blue wire connects to terminal 1 3. Black wire (sensor output during high to low transition) or Green wire (sensor output during low to high transition) connects to terminal 2. Connect one wire only to terminal 2 (black or green) depending upon which better suits the application. AC Power Wiring Meter terminals 5, 6, and 7, are for AC power connections. Connect to terminals 5 and 7 for 220V applications. Connect to terminals 6 and 7 for 110V power applications.

The Model 461950 Panel Mount Tachometer was designed to measure and display RPM in the following ranges: Ranges 5 – 999.9 rpm 1000 - 9999 rpm 10,000 - 99,990 rpm Resolution 0.1 rpm 1 rpm 10 rpm Accuracy (of rdg) ±(0.05% + 1 digit) Extech sensors generate pulses that are counted by the meter and converted to RPM. The meter computes RPM values based on the number of pulses detected in a given period of time and provides an RPM display on the 4 digit (9999 count) LED. Operation of the Proximity Switch Model 491955 The Extech Proximity Switch Model 461955 connects directly to the tachometer's input terminals and measures up to 36,000 RPM (600 Hz). Proximity switches detect magnetic (ferrous) objects as they pass the sensor, sending a pulse, one for each pass, to the meter. The pulse LED on the switch lights with each pass. The meter then calculates RPM and updates the LED display. Operation of the Photoelectric Sensor Model 461957 Extech Photoelectric Sensor Model 461957 connects directly to the tachometer's input terminals and measures up to 6,000 RPM (100Hz). When the sensor is properly powered (by the voltage on terminal 3 of the meter), the green power LED (on the sensor) will switch on. Photoelectric sensors generate a light beam that is interrupted by an object as it passes through the beam. Each time the beam of light is interrupted a pulse is transmitted to the meter and the red status LED on the sensor blinks. The meter then calculates and displays the RPM based on the number of pulses received in a specific period of time. The sensitivity adjustment screw on the sensor may have to be adjusted so that one pulse is generated for each interruption of the light beam. If the red LED turns on less/more than once for each interruption of the beam, adjust the sensitivity screw. 5 Model 461950 Version 2.0 March 2005 Warranty EXTECH INSTRUMENTS CORPORATION warrants this instrument to be free of defects in parts and workmanship for one year from date of shipment (a six month limited warranty applies to sensors and cables).
