Its large five-digit LCD display presents measurements at a glance, while features such as data hold and auto power off maximize convenience during extended diagnostic sessions.
User-Friendly Design Built for DurabilityHoused in a sturdy ABS plastic body, the NCTM-1000 is both lightweight and durable for handheld use. The package includes all necessary accessories for immediate deployment, ensuring technicians can quickly measure rotational speed, improve workflow, and increase operational safety.
FAQs of Metravi NCTM-1000 Non-contact Tachometer:
Q: How does the Metravi NCTM-1000 non-contact tachometer detect rotational speed?
A: The device uses a red visible LED light source and reflective tape applied to the rotating object. It detects the reflection as the object spins, allowing for accurate speed measurement from 50mm to 500mm away, without needing to physically attach the device to the machinery.
Q: What types of applications are ideal for this tachometer?
A: It is suitable for industrial, maintenance, and laboratory environments where motors or machines speeds need to be checked. Its wide measuring range and accuracy make it ideal for equipment testing, routine inspections, and process validation in both automated and manual settings.
Q: When should I use the memory functions on the NCTM-1000?
A: The memory feature is useful when you want to review the last, minimum, and maximum RPM values measured during a session. This can aid in performance analysis over time or for comparison between different machine states without needing to record readings immediately.
Q: Where can the tachometer be effectively used?
A: Its non-contact capability allows usage in places where direct contact is unsafe or impractical, such as high-speed machinery, moving belts, or enclosed motor shafts. It is handheld, making it convenient for use in workshops, industrial plants, and laboratories across India.
Q: What is the measurement process with the NCTM-1000?
A: Simply apply the provided reflective tape to the part you want to measure, power on the device, and aim it at the tape. Press the button to start measurement, and the RPM will be displayed almost instantly on the large LCD screen, with a sampling time of less than 0.8 seconds over 60 RPM.
Q: How long will the batteries last during operation?
A: The tachometer can operate for approximately 40 hours on two AA (1.5V) batteries, providing extended use for field technicians and maintenance teams without frequent battery changes.
Q: What are the main benefits of using a non-contact tachometer over a contact model?
A: Non-contact tachometers like the NCTM-1000 enhance operator safety by eliminating the need for physical contact with moving parts. This minimizes wear on both the instrument and the machine, while also allowing fast, repeatable, and maintenance-free operation in hard-to-reach or hazardous locations.
