The FT-7200 uses advanced FFT frequency analysis to measure RPM in hard-to-reach applications, such as embedded motors in appliances, industrial machines, and vehicles. By interpreting vibrations, sound waves, or magnetic flux changes, it provides precise readings without mechanical connection.
Its five detection algorithms are tailored for different operating conditions:
-
Mode A – Detects the maximum power-spectrum peak for steady operation.
-
Mode B – Uses a peak-interval method for unstable signals.
-
Mode C – Predictive tracking when peaks are temporarily lost.
-
Mode D – Continuous tracking of the maximum peak.
-
Mode E – Selects the correct speed from up to eight peaks.
This makes the FT-7200 effective for applications such as:
-
Measuring electric motor RPM in tools and appliances.
-
Monitoring automotive engine speed through exhaust sound or ignition pulses.
-
Inspecting machinery in the field where conventional tachometers cannot be applied.
