Storage Case
IMPORTANT: The SpeedMaster system requires annual checking/re-calibration.
Please return the unit to your supplier for correct checking & re-calibration.
There are no user parts inside the SpeedMaster unit, and removal/tampering of the
serial number label voids warranty.
The first check/re-calibration should be 12 months from the supply date, as shown
on the Calibration label on the underside of the SpeedMaster.
Note: When using this unit for the first time & before attempting to
switch on, remove the SpeedMaster unit from the rubber surround,
remove battery cover (2 screws) and pull out battery protector tab.

Calibration of Sensors to a Specified Speed:
NOTE - This procedure can be carried out in the Workshop or on the machine. Most
Synatel speed sensors include automatic calibration at 20% under speed. The
SpeedMaster can be used to calibrate to any other figure if needed.
For example: A shaft is running at 100 PPM and a shutdown is wanted at 90 PPM
(10% underspeed). Firstly, calculate the running speed which would shut down at
90 PPM at a 20% setting = 90/0.8 = 112.5 PPM yy

y113 PPM
Next, follow “Method of Use” steps 1-4, then use upper and lower “display” buttons
to give 113 on the display.
Ensure that pulses are being received by the sensor by looking at the input LED of
the sensor and then calibrate as per the sensor instructions. Calibration is now set
at 90 PPM which can be checked by using the SpeedMaster.

Button Functions:
Introduction:
The SpeedMaster is a test instrument designed to check the function and calibration
of all types of Synatel speed monitors. The system consists of the SpeedMaster hand
held instrument and PulsePilot transducer.
By inserting the PulsePilot between the target and speed monitor, the actual shaft
speed can be displayed. The unit can then override the signal from the target injecting
a speed which can be reduced (or increased) in 1% steps to allow the actual trip speed
of the sensor to be determined.
The SpeedMaster can also be used to calibrate Synatel sensors to any desired speed
if the automatically calibrated speed is not suitable.
Method Of Use:
1) Plug the PulsePilot transducer into the SpeedMaster instrument and press the
“Power On” button, the display will illuminate.
2) Place the PulsePilot transducer between the speed sensor and target.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE – When using the Synatel Whirligig speed
monitoring accessory the PulsePilot can generally be hand held even when
the monitored shaft is rotating. However all applications are different and great
care should be taken with regard to personal safety.
If a target system supplied by third parties is being used, the PulsePilot must
not be hand held. The shaft should be stopped and locked out. The PulsePilot
should then be attached firmly but temporarily eg with non metallic industrial
adhesive tape, guards refixed if appropriate and the system restarted.
Upon switch-on the SpeedMaster is in input mode and the input light will flash each
time a target is seen. The display will show measured speed in pulses per minute
(the Whirligig can have 1, 2, 4 or 8 pulses per revolution).
[Note: Pressing upper display button “-10%”, displays 90% of measured speed.
and Pressing lower display button “-20%”, displays 80% of measured speed].
3) Press the calibrate button, this will set the SpeedMaster internal oscillator to the
measured shaft speed, (or to 1000 P.P.M if the shaft is stationary).
4) Press the “Mode” button, the output light will flash and the calibrated pulse rate
will be fed to the sensor.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE – In this condition, the sensor is receiving
pulses only from the SpeedMaster, shaft pulses are not monitored and the
system should be observed for faults and shut down manually in event of a
fault occurring.
At this point, the speed can be artificially raised or lowered in 1% steps. Pressing the
“PPM/%” display button will toggle between actual speed or percentage reduction from
calibrated speed. Each press of the upper display button will increase simulated speed
by 1% and on the lower display button will decrease simulated speed by 1%. Holding
down either button will cause the simulated speed to increment/decrement simulated
speed in 1% steps.
The system should shut down when the calibrated ‘trip’ setting is reached, normally
20% under running speed.
When pressed, displays 90% of
measured speed.
