INTRODUCTION
The SPSR-IM Self Powered Sensor Interface Module is a self-contained,
rechargeable battery powered device for developing a TTL compatible one
pulse per revolution output for triggering external equipment such as vibration
analyzers, spectrum analyzers, stroboscopes, data acquisition equipment,
tachometers, balancers, waveform analyzers and magnetic tape recorders.
The SPSR-115/230 i s
comprised of the SPSR-IM
Interface Module, which
provides power to a sensor
and couples the sensor to a
BNC output; an input sensor
with a visible red LED light
source (ROS-P); and a battery
recharger.
Optional sensors such as an optical
laser sensor (ROLS-P-not shown),
infrared sensor (IRS-P), or an
amplified magnetic sensor (MT-
190P) may also be combined with the
SPSR-IM Interface Module when
appropriate. (See separate instructions for these congurations.)
FUNCTIONS AND OPERATION
SPSR Interface Module
The SPSR Interface Module (SPSR-IM) provides power to the input
sensor, receives and optionally inverts the return pulse signal, and provides
a switch selectable positive going 0 to 5 Vdc or negative going 5 to 0 Vdc

pulse train trigger output on a BNC connector. Connections and operation
are common to all SPSR models. Fully charged internal NiMH batteries will
typically provide greater than 40 hours of continuous operation. In addition,
the SPSR system can be operated continuously on external power by use of
the recharger/power supply provided.
Connections
Connect the input sensor via the 1/8” [3.5 mm] phone plug to the mating
connector on the SPSR-IM. This sensor may remain connected even
when recharging the internal batteries of the SPSR-IM.
NOTE: Do not plug an input sensor into the SPSR with the Power
switch in the “ON” position. Before plugging the sensor in, switch the
power to “OFF” and unplug any external power supply.
Connect the output signal cable to the BNC connector on the opposite
end of the SPSR-IM and to the external equipment to be triggered.
If operating from the recharger/power supply, connect the recharger to
the connector marked “External DC” on the SPSR-IM and connect the
wall unit to the appropriate power source.
Controls
The “Power” switch on the SPSR-IM controls both the operation and the
charging of the system. The unit will only charge from external power
in the power OFF position. In the power ON position, the unit will
operate directly from external power any time that it is being supplied.
Otherwise, it functions on internal battery power.
The “Output Selection” switch determines the polarity of the leading
edge of the TTL compatible output signal. In the NON-INVERTING
position, the output signal on the BNC connector will be a negative going
5 to 0 Vdc pulse derived directly from the conditioned sensor output.
When the INVERTING position is switch selected, the BNC output
signal will be a positive going 0 to 5 Vdc, TTL compatible.

LED Indication:
Unit operational = solid green
Unit charging = blinking red
Charging done = solid red
NOTE: Short red blinks followed by long blink = Charge error,
contact factory
Recharging the Batteries
To recharge the SPSR-IM Interface Module batteries:
1. Connect the recharger/power supply to the “External DC”
input connector.
2. Connect the recharger/power supply into a working ac outlet.
3. Be sure the “Power” switch is in the OFF (CHARGE) position.
The red “CHARGE” LED will indicate that the batteries are
being charged. Allow up to 4 hours to fully charge.
SPSR-115/230 Series - SPSR-IM with ROS-P
The SPSR-115/230 consists of the SPSR-IM Interface Module described
above, an ROS-P Remote Optical Sensor with eight foot cable and mounting
bracket, and an SPSR-U (115/230 Vac) external power connection. One foot
of T-5 Reective Tape is also supplied.
ROS-P
When connected to the SPSR-IM as described above, the ROS-P
illuminates the target with a visible red light from a high intensity LED
and detects the reected pulses from the rotating reective tape target
with an internal photo-detector. The ROS-P Remote Optical Sensor is
capable of detecting a reected pulse from T-5 Reective Tape targets
at distances of up to 3 feet and angles up to 45 degrees from the target.
The sensor is supplied with a set of two M16 jam nuts and a 90° angle
slotted aluminum mounting bracket.

For most applications, a 1/2” square piece of T-5 Reective Tape should
be applied to a clean area on the rotating object. The sensor should be
mounted and optically aligned to illuminate the reective target once per
revolution. It is recommended that the optical sensor be placed at a
slight angle (approximately 10-15 degrees) from perpendicular, so
that the sensor will detect only the reected pulses from the target.
The sensor should be at least 2 inches and no more than 3 feet from the
target. The green LED On-Target Indicator on the ROS-P will blink at
the input frequency or be continuously illuminated when properly aimed.
Operating the SPSR as a triggering source
Once the ROS-P input sensor is properly mounted and aligned, further
connections and operation should proceed in accordance with the
functions and descriptions under the SPSR Interface Module sections
entitled ‘Connections’ and ‘Controls’.
The pulse signal on the connector marked “Output” provides a sharp leading
edge for reliable and repeatable triggering of the connected device. This
output is capable of driving a hundred feet of coax cable. Be sure to select
the direction (0 to 5 Vdc or 5 to 0 Vdc) of this signal to provide the required
polarity of the leading edge to properly trigger the connected equipment.
BATTERY DISPOSAL
Prior to disposing of the SPSR-IM, the user must remove the Nickel Metal
Hydride batteries. To do this, remove the four (4) rubber feet on the bottom of
the unit. This will expose four (4) screws that must be removed to dismantle
the bottom case piece, exposing the batteries. Remove the batteries and place
tape over the battery terminals to prevent them from shorting. The batteries
should be sent to a recycling center or returned to the factory. The rest of
the parts may now be disposed of.
NOTE: This product contains Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries.
Replace only with the same type of battery – Rechargeable NiMH.
