You can use a tachometer or CSI 430 SpeedVue Sensor to input the RPM.
WARNING!
Do not use the CSI 430 SpeedVue Sensor in a hazardous location.
Note
If the measurement point is set up for FPM, you are prompted to enter the FPM value rather than the
RPM.
Procedure
1.
Activate a route.
2. From the Route Data Collection screen, press ALT > F6 New RPM.
3. Enter a new load value between 0 and 900,000, and press Enter.

4.4 Tachometers
4.4.1 Set up a tachometer in Route
Note
By default, the analyzer is set up to use the CSI 404 tachometers. The analyzer supports
tachometer/RPM measurements up to 100,000 RPM.
Procedure
1. From the Route Data Collection screen, press ALT > F5 Tach Setup.
The Tachometer Setup screen appears.
2. Set the following options as necessary.
Option Description
F2 Pseudo Tach Enable Pseudo Tach for time synchronous averaging or order tracking
intermediate shafts in gearboxes that cannot be accessed directly. Use the
Pseudo Tach to produce the turning speed signal. The analyzer uses the
following formula: (Incoming tachometer frequency) X ((tach frequency X
the number of teeth on the tached shaft)/number of teeth on the pseudo
shaft). Disable Pseudo Tach when you can use the tachometer directly on a
shaft. The default is Disabled.
