4. DEVICE INSTALLATION
The unit has been designed and manufactured in a way assuring a high level of user
safety and resistance to interference occurring in a typical industrial environment. In order to
take full advantage of these characteristics installation of the unit must be conducted correctly
and according to the local regulations.
- Read the basic safety requirements on page 3 prior to starting the installation.
- Ensure that the power supply network voltage corresponds to the nominal
voltage stated on the unit’s identification label.
- The load must correspond to the requirements listed in the technical data.
- All installation works must be conducted with a disconnected power supply.
- Protecting the power supply clamps against unauthorized persons must be
taken into consideration.
4.1. UNPACKING
After removing the unit from the protective packaging, check for transportation damage. Any
transportation damage must be immediately reported to the carrier. Also, write down the unit
serial number on the housing and report the damage to the manufacturer.
Attached with the unit please find:
- user’s manual,
- warranty,
- assembly brackets - 2 pieces.
4.2. ASSEMBLY
- The unit is designed for mounting inside housings (control panel, switchboard)
insuring appropriate protection against surges and interference. Metal housings
must be connected to ground in a way that complies with the governing
regulations.
- Disconnect the power supply prior to starting assembly.
- Check the connections are wired correctly prior to switching the unit on.
In order to install the unit, a 90.5 x 43 mm mounting hole (Figure 4.1, 4.2) must be
prepared. The thickness of the material of which the panel is made must not exceed
5mm. When preparing the mounting hole take the grooves for catches located on
both sides of the housing into consideration (Figure 4.1, 4.2). Place the unit in the
mounting hole inserting it from the front side of the panel, and then fix it using the
brackets (Figure 4.3). The minimum distances between the centre points of multiple
units - due to the thermal and mechanical conditions of operation - are 115 mm x
67mm (Figure 4.4).

4.3. CONNECTION METHOD
Caution
- Installation should be conducted by qualified personnel . During installation all
available safety requirements should be considered. The fitter is responsible for
executing the installation according to this manual, local safety and EMC
regulations.
- The unit is not equipped with an internal fuse or power supply circuit breaker.
Because of this an external time-delay cut-out fuse with minimal possible nominal
current value must be used (recommended bipolar, max. 2A) and a power supply
circuit-breaker located near the unit. In the case of using a monopolar fuse it must
be mounted on the phase cable (L).
- The power supply network cable diameter must be selected in such a way that in
the case of a short circuit of the cable from the side of the unit the cable shall be
protected against destruction with an electrical installation fuse.
- Wiring must meet appropriate standards and local regulations and laws.
- In order to secure against accidental short circuit the connection cables must be
terminated with appropriate insulated cable tips.
- Tighten the clamping screws. The recommended tightening torque is 0.5 Nm.
Loose screws can cause fire or defective operation. Over tightening can lead to
damaging the connections inside the units and breaking the thread.
- In the case of the unit being fitted with separable clamps they should be inserted
into appropriate connectors in the unit, even if they are not used for any
connections.
- Unused clamps (marked as n.c.) must not be used for connecting any
connecting cables (e.g. as bridges), because this can cause damage to the
equipment or electric shock.

- If the unit is equipped with housing, covers and sealing packing, protecting
against water intrusion, pay special attention to their correct tightening or clamping.
In the case of any doubt consider using additional preventive measures (covers,
roofing, seals, etc.). Carelessly executed assembly can increase the risk of electric
shock.
- After the installation is completed do not touch the unit’s connections when it is
switched on, because it carries the risk of electrical shock.
Due to possible significant interference in industrial installations appropriate measures
assuring correct operation of the unit must be applied. To avoid the unit of improper
indications keep recommendations listed below.
–Avoid common (parallel) leading of signal cables and transmission cables together with
power supply cables and cables controlling induction loads (e.g. contactors). uch cables
should cross at a right angle.
–Contactor coils and induction loads should be equipped with anti-interference protection
systems, e.g. RC-type.
–Use of screened signal cables is recommended. ignal cable screens should be
connected to the earthing only at one of the ends of the screened cable.
–In the case of magnetically induced interference the use of twisted couples of signal
cables (so-called “spirals”) is recommended. The spiral (best if shielded) must be used
with R -485 serial transmission connections.
–In the case of measurement or control signals are longer than 30m or go outside of the
building then additional safety circuits are required.
–In the case of interference from the power supply side the use of appropriate anti-
interference filters is recommended. Bear in mind that the connection between the filter
and the unit should be as short as possible and the metal housing of the filter must be
connected to the earthing with largest possible surface. The cables connected to the filter
output must not run in parallel with cables with interference (e.g. circuits controlling relays
or contactors).
Connections of power supply voltage and measurement signals are executed using the
screw connections on the back of the unit’s housing.

Figure 4.14. Co ectio of power supply a d relays
Contacts of relay outputs are not equipped with spark suppressors. While use
the relay outputs for switching of inductive loads (coils, contactors, power
relays, electromagnets, motors etc.) it is required to use additional
suppression circuit (typically capacitor 47nF/ min. 250VAC in series with
100R/5W resistor), connected in parallel to relay terminals or (better) directly
on the load. In consequence of using the suppression circuit, the level of
generated electromagnetic disturbances is lower, and the life of relay contacts
rises.

display, next the controller goes to the measurement mode.
6.1. MEASUREMENT MODE
In the measurement mode the device shows current measurement value (rotational
speed or time per one revolution, it depends on “F or P” parameter) with resolution defined by
“PrEc” parameter (max 5 digits after decimal point).
Pulses delivered to the input (Figure 4.16) are converted in manner described below:
•If duration of LOW or HIGH state is lower than time defined by parameter “FrEq” (see
Tab.7.2 on page 35), pulses are interpreted as disturbances and ignored.
•If duration of both states is in the defined range, but their frequency is lower than value of
“FrEq” parameter, the device goes to alarm state - relays and analogue output (if
mounted) are switched to their alarm states (defined by their “ALArm ” parameters). In
this state message "-Hi-" is displayed instead of measurement value.
•In other cases (during frequency and duration of the signal are in permitted ranges) pulses
are delivered to internal frequency divider. The divider (see description of parameter
“PUL en”) should be set to value equal the number of pulses per revolution – in such
case one pulse goes out of the divider every revolution, and it allows to minimize errors
caused by roughness of measurement element (e.g. rack if inductive detector is used).
The frequency after the divider is recalculated according to selected by user measurement
unit (parameter “unit”), and can be expressed by rev./sec , rev./min or rev./h. Final value
is obtained by multiplication the measurement result by parameter “mul”, and division by
parameter “div”. Parameters “mul” and “div” allow to free scaling of the measurement,
and obtain automatic recalculation of rotational speed to linear speed (see example on
page 38). Obtained result is displayed during measurement mode, and is the base of
relays and analogue output states calculation, and is accessible via R -485 interface with
MODBU protocol.
–If input frequency is in the permitted range but calculated value can not be fitted
on 6 digits, message “-OvLd-” is displayed instead of the result.
(modify parameters “unit”, “PrEc”, “mul” and “div”, to fit the result on 6 digits).
– While time per one revolution is displayed (parameter “F or P” = “PEriod”):
• If input frequency equals 0, then message “- toP-” is displayed.
• If value of period is too high to be fitted on 6 digits, message “-OvLd-”
(Overload) is displayed instead of the result.
• If input frequency is different than 0 but value of period is too small to be
fitted on 6 digits, message “-UnLd-” (Underload) is displayed instead of
the result.
In the measurement mode user can check main thresholds values. After pressing [^] or
[v] button, name of the threshold (e.g. “rELPr1”) and his value will be displayed on the
display in alternating mode. If [^] or [v] will be pressed in 5 sec again, the next threshold will
be displayed, else the device comes back to the measurement mode. If a free access is
enabled (see description of ”SECu” menu), user can change the value of particular threshold
pressing button [ENTER] (see: PARAMETERS EDITION).

User manual - RATEMETER STI-94
Input type, range of displaying values, characteristic of conversion, decimal point
position and measure filtering ratio, are user configurable parameters. All accessible
parameters can be changed by entering the menu (see: DEVICE PROGRAMMING). Use the
local keyboard or the remote controller to do it. (Note: all parameters can be remote changed
via R -485 interface).
Configuration of the device (via menu or R 485 interface) does not stop
measures.
6.2. DETECTION OF THE PEAK VALUES
The TI-94 controller is equipped with peaks detection function. It can detect a peaks of
the input signal and display their values. Presets connected with this function are placed in
“HOLd” menu (see description of “HOLd” menu). The detection of the peak can be done if
the measured signal raises and drops of value at least equal to parameter “PEA”. Detected
peaks are displayed during the time defined by parameter “timE”. If a new peak will be
detected while one is displayed, this new peak will be displayed and display time counter will
be cleared (Figure 6.1). If no peaks are detected while time “timE” elapses, device starts to
show the current value of input signal again. If “Hdi ”=“HOLD” then setting parameter
“timE”=0.0 causes holding peak value until [E C] button is pressed. If “Hdi ”=“rEAL” then
value “timE”=0.0 means no holding. Displaying peak value is signalized by flashing most right
decimal point.
The relays/LEDs and the analogue output can be controlled depend on the current value
of input signal or the peak value (see “HOLd” menu).
