Compact Instruments Advent Serie Mode D'emploi page 7

5. Auto-range selection - speed modes only
5.1. While taking a measurement using either up or down measure button, the user can toggle
between auto and non-auto mode by pressing the programme button, in the auto
mode, the a icon will illuminate.
6. Average speed monitoring mode - 'av' icon.
6.1. Average speed mode, this mode provides a rolling average of the last 8 measured values.
6.2 Press and hold the On / Off button at the forward arrow position and hold continuously
6.3 Aim light beam onto target, ensure "on-target" sign is on at bottom of display screen.
6.4 Take rpm reading.
6.5 Note that the display will illuminate only while measurement is taking place.
6.6 Release On / Off button and display will clear - no memory retention is available.
7. Operation of Maximum & Minimum modes Speed Capture functions – mx, mn
7.1. Having selected the required mode, i.e. Maximum or Minimum, (mx).
7.2. You are now ready to Capture a reading "On Demand" but continuing to operate normally.
7.3. When a capture test is ready to commence, while the Measure button is held On, press
Programme button once, at this point the instrument will switch into high speed Time-base
mode, (0.1 Seconds) and will Capture the highest or lowest reading after pressing the Programme
button. Releasing the On button will hold the reading and cancel the Capture mode until another
Capture measurement is required, when 7.3. should be repeated.
8. Count measurement mode - cnt
8.1. Select mode as described in Measurement mode selection section
8.2. For rev Counting optically, point the light beam at the target and the instrument will
measure all revs. (pulses) until button is released, the display will hold Count for 1
minute.
8.3. By contact method, fit contact adaptor, press speed cone onto the end of the shaft, the
Instrument will count revs.
9. Linear Length Totalisation measurements - mt, ft, yd
9.1. Select any linear unit of measurement, press contact wheel onto moving surface and
commence Count by pressing & holding Measure button On, Count will increment until
button is released.
9.2. The displayed value can be scanned through the equivalent values of Metres, Feet,
Yards, Count by pressing the Programming button, the instrument automatically calculates
the appropriate reading.
Note. Measurement Units will be stored in originally programmed parameter e.g. metres.
10. Time interval measurement - int
10.1. Select int mode through Measurement selection mode
10.2. This mode allows measurement of Time between pulses from optical system (or contactor).
10.3. Optically the instrument will measure the time in seconds between pulses, useful for cycle timing
of reciprocating machinery.
10.4. (Time in seconds per revolution), which equals reciprocal speed.
10.5. Very slow speeds can be measured in this mode below 3 rpm.
11. Display orientation - Inverting function - All modes
11.1. The instrument can be used through 180 deg. rotation (e.g. with the light beam pointing
downward into a machine), the display inverts so that normal reading can take place.
11.2. The UP Button selects normal mode for optical and contact measurements.
11.3. The Down button selects the display inversion mode and the whole display including relevant
icons will reverse through 180 degrees allowing access to difficult applications.
