Panel Tachometers: ACT Series-1

ACT-1B Programmable Panel Tachometer Description The ACT-1B is an economical and easy to use digital tachometer that displays rotational speed directly in RPM or RPS on a 5 digit red 0.56” high LED display using a speed sensor providing a single (or multiple) pulse(s) per revolution. The number of pulses per rev is factory set at time of ordering and can be user programmed from 1 to 999 using the optional PM Remote Software and USB programming cable. Power may be either universal 100 to 240Vac (50/60Hz) or optionally 12 Vdc or 24 Vdc isolated. The ACT-1B accepts input signals from optical, proximity, magnetic, infrared or laser sensors, or direct TTL or external ac inputs. The ACT-1B is suitable for panel mounting or bench top use with convenient screw terminal connections on the rear panel of the instrument. If specified at time of order placement, the ACT-1B may be optionally equipped with either an analog output of 4-20mA or 0-5Vdc proportional to speed, and/or a TTL pulse repeater output.
