C48CB111

Panel Meters - Counters, Hour Meters

The C48CB111 is a panel meter designed to count pulses from a rotating shaft, such as that of a motor. This type of instrument, often referred to as an hour meter, is commonly used to keep track of engine run time or other time-based equipment data. It is able to accurately measure, analyze, and display the pulse from the rotating shaft as either a pulse count or hour reading calculable in tenths of an hour.

Theory of Operation

At the heart of the C48CB111 is a photoelectric pickup that converts the signals of a rotating shaft into a digital count that registers in a set of counters. When the Photoelectric pickup receives the signals from the rotating shaft, it triggers an oscillating voltage generator to start counting. The pulse from the generator then passes through a counter circuit and multiplexer to become a countable digital signal. The digital signal is then read and displayed on the output display.

Applications

The C48CB111 is most often used in the industrial and marine industries. Its ability to produce a simple and easy to read output timestamp allows it to be used in all types of machine systems to accurately measure engine run time and other time-based equipment data. The C48CB111 is commonly used in oil and gas rigs to keep track of maintenance intervals, repair upgrades, and other time-based operations. It can also be found in marine boats, measuring time between engine shutdowns, fuel levels, and other metrics.

Benefits and Advantages

The C48CB111 is a durable and long-lasting instrument. Its easy to read output timestamps make it an invaluable tool in the industrial and marine industries. Additionally, its ability to accurately measure and display pulse counts makes it a highly efficient and reliable way to keep track of engine run time and other time-based projects. Its user-friendly setup and convenience ensure that the C48CB111 is a reliable and dependable panel meter for projects of all sizes.
