Operating Instructions

Power ON/OFF

The R7200 is powered by an internal rechargeable battery and should be charged before use. (See the Charging the Battery section for further details)

To turn the meter ON or OFF, press the POWER button.

Using the Function Buttons

To turn the meter ON or OFF, press the POWER button

Using the Function Buttons

Mode Button
Press the M button to toggle between FPM/HZ modes and LED brightness

Counter Clockwise Rotation Button
When the object appears to be stationary, press and hold the button to provide the illusion that the object is rotating counterclockwise.

Note: The counterclockwise rotation function is not relevant for monitoring rotational motion from the side (orthogonal to the rotational axis).

Flash Output Speed/Reset Button
Press the X button to toggle between x1, x10 and x100 flash rate multipliers. This feature allows a user to increase or decrease the flash output value of the measurement by 1, 10 or 100FPM.
Press and hold the X button to reset the flash output rate to 0.

Measuring Procedure

Rotation Speed Measurement

1. Mark” the object to be measured by either visually noting an inherent distinguishing characteristic (i.e. label, scratch, etc.) or physically marking the object (i.e. tape, pencil mark, etc.)

2. Direct the strobe LEDs towards the rotating surface of the object being measured observe the light spot and adjust the flash output rate from the highest Flashes per Minute (FPM) downward.
   Note: The optimal distance between the stroboscope and moving object is approximately 2 feet.

3. If the flash output rate is adjusted to the same rotation speed of the object, the target object will appear to be static or motionless.

4. The true RPM can be noted once the action appears frozen and the first single image of the “mark” appears.

Observing Dynamic Motion (Diagnostic Inspection)
Measure the speed of a moving object as described above and adjust the flash output rate higher and lower to visually inspect all areas of the device for any flaws or defects.

Charging the Battery

1. Connect the R7200 via the included cable to a USB port on your PC or into a wall outlet using a USB Power Adapter (not included) to charge the Li-ion battery.
2. Power the instrument ON to see the battery status indicator.
3. Charge the meter until the battery indicator appears full and remove the charging cable when done.

Applications

Measure the speed of moving gears, fans, centrifuges, pumps, motors and other rotational equipment.
