® RIM Tach 6200 Features · The stand alone, foot mounted or accessory bracket design is ideal for close coupled, belt, or wheel driven setups · Modular design incorporates extra severe duty bearings for a longer encoder life · Stainless steel and cast iron construction · Magnetoresistive sensor technology is unaffected by grease, salt water, dust, or other common mill contaminants · Interchangeable magnetoresistive sensor modules for fast and easy field service · Resolutions up to 2048 PPR with optional index pulse ® · Optional RIM Tach Shaft Grounding Brush ® The ©NorthStar RIM Tach 6200 has been specifically designed to directly address the needs of the process industry. The heavy duty digital tachometer is constructed to be used as either a stand alone, foot mounted solution, or assembled to an accessory bracket as a 56 C face for common mill applications such as close coupled, belt, or wheel driven setups. The 6200 provides an easy solution for reduction of downtime of maintenance, and fast installation. Providing the most reliable, mechanical, electrical, and environmental features available in digital tachometers today. Rugged, Mill Duty Construction Reliable Magnetoresistive Technology ® ® The durable RIM Tach 6200 was designed for hostile The patented technology of the Rim Tach 6200 is incor- environments. The mill duty, cast iron construction of porated into a heavy duty, one piece sensor module, with the 6200 accepts stainless steel sensor modules with encapsulated surface mount electronics. The advanced patented magnetoresistive technology. The outputs are magnetoresistive sensor modules are immune to common available as either single or dual outputs and are com- mill contaminants (water, oil, grease, dirt, shock, and pletely isolated from one another. The modular design vibrations) and overall harsh environments. This state-of- features extra severe duty bearings (1.875” OD) to the-art technology allows for much higher resolutions ensure longer life under heavy loads. providing resolutions up to 2048 pulses per revolution. ® With the addition of a RIM Tach Shaft Grounding Brush, induced shaft currents “drain” away, preventing premature material weakening of large AC and DC motor bearings, and their consequent failure. Easy Installation The mill duty latching connectors are standard. These sealed connectors are simple to wire by inserting the stripped conductor in the plug and tightening the screw terminals. There is no need to field solder or to struggle with a crimp pin. The unit easily mounts on a standard NEMA 56 C face (4.5”) and requires no gap adjust- ments. The pulse count output is very easy to change, just remove four screws and slide the desired pulse count sensor module in place. ©NorthStar Technologies, Inc. / A LakeShore Company 575 McCorkle Blvd., Westerville, OH 43081 Tel: (614) 818-1150 Fax: (614) 891-6909 www.northstar-tec.com sales@northstar-tec.com, service@northstar-tec.com 791-7011-00 Rev. 2 4.23[108] Electrical Specifications Ordering Information Frequency Response 0 - 120 KHz Tachometer Type Pulse Code A, B, Z (Index) and complements (A, B, Z) RIM620 RIM620 Output Phases A phase, B phase @ quadrature 90°, Z phase; once per rev.
