DESCRIPTION:
The Remote Optical Sensor has a visible red LED light source and green LED on-target
indicator. The red LED light source acts as the aiming device during setup and can accurately
measure speeds from 1-250,000 RPM from a distance of up to 36 inches with a maximum
offset angle of 45 degrees from the rotating object. The sensor is housed in a threaded 303
stainless steel tube and supplied with a 90 degree mounting bracket, jam nuts and an 8 foot
(ROS-P and ROS-W) or 25 foot (ROS-P-25) shielded cable. ROS-P and ROS-P-25 come
with a 3.5mm (1/8”) male stereo plug adapter. ROS-W comes with 4 tinned wires.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
The ROS Remote Optical Sensor is capable of detecting a reflected pulse from a target consisting of T-5 Reflective Tape at distances of up to
36 inches [1 m] from the rotating object and angles up to 45 degrees. For most applications, a ½” [12 mm] square piece of Reflective Tape (T-5)
should be applied to a clean area on the rotating object.
The ROS should be mounted (using the supplied jam nuts and aluminum mounting bracket) and optically aligned to illuminate the on-target
indicator once per revolution. The user must hold “steady” or mount the ROS to obtain an accurate measurement. The optical Sensor must be
placed at a slight angle (15 degrees recommended) from perpendicular, so that the Sensor will receive only pulses from the reflective marker.
The ROS must be at least 1 inch from the reflective target to avoid false triggering. The green LED On-Target Indicator will blink at the input
frequency rate when the ROS is properly aimed. NOTE: The green LED On-Target Indicator will blink on and off at slow speeds and remain
on steady at high speeds.
The ROS is supplied with an 8 foot [2.4 m] cable terminated with 4 tinned wires (ROS-W) or a 3.5 mm [1/8 inch] male stereo plug (ROS-P) or
optionally a 25 foot [7.6 m] cable terminated with a 3.5 mm [1/8 inch] male stereo plug (ROS-P-25). The plug may be cut from the cable and the
leads stripped and connected as shown in connection detail on the reverse side. An optional 25 foot [7.6 mm] extension cable EC-25P is
available with a female socket for the plug on one end, and a 3.5 mm [1/8 inch] male stereo plug on the other (for ROS-P).
The ROS-W will work with all Monarch panel instruments that accept pulse inputs (e.g. ACT Series, F2A1X and F2A3X Frequency to A nalog
Converters, DataChart 1250, DataChart 6000). The ROS-P and ROS-P-25 will work directly with all Monarch Handheld Tachometers, Deluxe
Nova-Strobe (dax, dbx, DBL) and Phaser Strobe (pbx, PBL) Stroboscopes. A sensor power supply (SPSR) with BNC output is available for
those applications that require a separate power source for the sensor.
