The EC-2100 is a compact, light weight and battery-operated handheld speedometer designed for use in elevator adjustment, maintenance and inspection. With a wide measurement range and high speed calculation, speed and rotation of a high speed elevator can be measured.

It enables easy and accurate measurement only by pressing the circumferential ring lightly to an elevator pulley or a handrail of an elevator. Measured value can be easily read on the red LCD even in a dark place. The operator can do an inspection alone by fixing the EC-2100 main unit by a jig or using the EC-0201 external detector (option).

As well as the buttons on the main unit, the measurement values can be held by the external contact signal. The each instantaneous value is displayed on the main unit. It supports more safety work without worrying about the displayed values.

Distance measurement is available by the EC-0202 (option). It measures moving distance within the specified time. Moreover by adding the EC-0202 (option) and the EC-0203 (option), the EC-2100 can measure actual moving distance of an escalator after emergency stop operation.

Features

  • Wide measurement range up to 2,000 m/min and 20,000 r/min, saving calculation time with 10 ms. Useful for measurement of a high speed elevator or escalator.
  • Up to ten measurement results can be stored to the main unit.
  • Analog output and pulse output functions are provided as standard.
  • Maximum hold function to hold the maximum value during measurement
  • Averaging function: Averaging of speed or rotation speed values (selectable from 1 to 200.)
  • Auto power off function / display of remaining battery level function
  • Auto power off function / display of remaining battery level function
  • Distance measurement function (EC-0202 option): measurement of moving distance within the specified time. Plus/minus display shows the rotation direction.
  • Distance measurement function (EC-0202 option): measurement of moving distance within the specified time. Plus/minus display shows the rotation direction.
  • Remote measurement is available by the external detector (EC-0201 option)
  • Also can be used as contact type handheld tachometer by attaching the KS-300 (option) to the tip of rotating object.

Speed measurement of an elevator

Illustration (Speed measurement of an elevator)

 

Make a measurement by pressing the circumferential ring to a pulley of governor or a rope. The instantaneous value of each channel is displayed by using a hold switch [1] [2] on the main unit or using the external hold signal.

 

  1. 1.Maximum value measurement
    The maximum value during measurement can be held and displayed on lower screen by [DISP] button.


  2. 2.Memory function
    The EC-2100 has memory function to store the measurement results to the main unit. 
    The data of CH1, CH2 and MAX value are stored in rotation measurement (m/min, r/min), and the measurement channel, plus/minis and rotation direction in distance measurement (mm). The stored data can be read by [MENU] switch.

Data (Example of measurement results)

 

Moving distance after emergency stop can be measured by pressing a circumferential ring to a handrail. Plus/minus display shows the rotation direction.

 

  1. 1.Measurement using the EC-0203 trigger unit (option)
    Connect the EC-2100 to an escalator via the EC-0203 trigger unit. Pushing the trigger button brings the escalator to the emergency stop and the speed measurement is started. When two seconds have passed after the measurement ends, the EC-2100 holds the measurement result and prevents miscount.


  2. 2.Measurement not using the trigger unit
    The hold switch [1] [2] on the main unit starts and stops measurement.

 (Distance measurement function: EC-0202, option)

 

The EC-2100 Elevator speedometer can be used as the handheld distance meter by installing the EC-0202 distance measurement function. The moving distance can be measured and displayed by pressing the circumferential ring to the measurement object. Start and stop are operated by the switches on the main unit. When the circumferential ring passes the stop position, the rotating direction setup enables correct measurement. The auto stop function* of the EC-2100 holds the measurement result when two seconds have passed after the movement of the circumferential ring ends.

*The auto stop function is disabled by the modification of the EC-2100 main unit.
