Chapter 1: Overview

ON/OFF

1.1: Safetimeter Switches and Connectors

NOTE: With the Safetimeter ON and plugged in, the battery charges at a lower rate.

The Series 1999 Semelex II Safetimeter is a self-contained, portable electronic stop
time meter capable of measuring elapsed time, stop time (Ts) from 1-9999 milliseconds.
It also calculates the minimum safety distance (Ds) based on the OSHA formula, as
understood by the factory, and will display up to 999.9 inches to the nearest 0.1
inches.

The Semelex II Safetimeter Test Set consists of four components:

Safetimeter

This is the “brains” of the unit, with processing electronics

that display the test results.

Position/Velocity (P/V) This motion and position sensor attaches to the press with
Transducer

its base and cable magnets.

Auto-Hand (A/H)

This hand-held device is used to automatically release a run

control or press an E-Stop control on the press.

Auto-Flag (A/F)

This assembly is attached to the Auto-Hand to test presses

equipped with electronic guards, i.e. photoelectric barrier

guards (light curtains) or capacitance type guards (conduit

rail sensors).

Option:
Manual Start Switches
These two switches plug into the MANUAL START jack on the

Safetimeter panel and are used to manually start the

Safetimeter timing.


Option:
Remote Tachometer

The tachometer replaces the P/V Transducer and Auto-Hand

with Base

when testing high speed or continuous stroke presses that

can’t stop within one stroke. With the wheel attachment, it

can be used to test conveyors or indexing tables.
