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.

ACT-1B Programmable Panel Tachometer
PM Remote Software
PM (Panel Meter) Remote Software is a Windows™ based software application that allows the
user to customize the configuration of the ACT1B. Set the mode of operation to RPM, RPS or
Frequency and select the input scale (pulses per
revolution). In addition, the decimal places
displayed can be selected as well as the output
scale of the optional analog output module.
Configurations can be saved and quickly
reloaded.
The user can set the input pulse trigger and
optional output pulse to be positive or negative.
Real-time data can be displayed directly on the
PC along with Min and Max values.
Data can be streamed directly into Microsoft Excel™ with one simple mouse click.
PM Remote Software is included when purchasing
the optional USB programming cable. Complete
instructions are included on software CD.
