Shimpo DT-501XD, DT-501XD-FVT, DT-501XD-CPT, DT-501XD-TRT, DT-501XD-TRT-FVC Data Sheet

The DT-501X Panel Meter Tachometer with op-
tional outputs is a multi-faceted instrument ide­ally designed for speed, rate or time monitoring
applications when combined with a compatible
process speed sensor.

(22 mm) height display and compact body depth of only 3.6” (92
mm), the DT-501X allows mounting in tight panels or small en­closures. Added versatility is offered with its range of standard
inputs which include NPN, contact and square or sine wave sig­nals produced from devices such as pulse generators, proximity
sensors, photoelectric sensors, magnetic sensors, rotary encod­ers and NPN OC transistors. The DT-501X is fully scalable and
possesses four selectable modes allowing it to measure various
process speeds, rates and times: tachometer, flowmeter, process
time span and elapsed time mode which displays the inverse to
the input signal, common in oven conveyor applications. An add­ed teaching function auto-scales the control which simplifies the
set-up by properly coordinating the display with the input of the
sensor’s signal. Analog, contact, or SSR outputs are available for
additional automation control.

These enhanced features of the DT-501X Panel Meter makes them
the perfect choice for speed, process rate or time applications
such as machining operation timing, conveyor speed, motor out­put, volumetric flowrate, elapsed time of oven curing etc.

With its industry-leading 0.87”

DT-501X Panel Meter Tachometer

Features

• Industry-leading 0.87” (22 mm) height, 6 digit, red LED display enables viewing from greater distances

• Integral sensor power source saves money by eliminating need to purchase a separate power supply

• Scalable programming gives user the flexibility to set up and monitor virtually any process

• Selectable update time allows operator to speed up/slow down display changes to facilitate process

• Test mode allows instant checking of correct operational performance of the display and keys

• Great versatility with multiple sensor input capability in one unit: NPN open collector, contact and square
or sine wave sensor inputs.

• Teaching function auto-scales the display by inputting signal from sensor; saves time programming manually

• NEMA 4X (IP66) front cover protection keeps water out, permits usage in compatible plant wash-down operations

• Auto Zero function zeroes the display after the final signal initiates a preprogammed time countdown.

• Max. Min. automatically stored into memory; quickly retrieved via keypad

• 1/8 DIN size with minimal depth of only 3.6” (92 mm) allows mounting in small enclosures
