Corbin Inc Nu Metrics Distance Measuring Instrument Nomenclature TCI100 NiteStar DMI 100 formerly NiteStar NS 50 TCI101 NiteStar TCI101 formerly NiteStar NS 60 Distance Measuring Instrument DMI Theory of Operation For electronic measurement of distance a proximity sensor mechanical transmission sensor or electronic interface adapter is used to provide speed pulses to the NiteStar DMI for distance measurements How the DMI calculates distance is relatively simple for each of the sensors The proximity sensor divides the vehicle tire into pie sections by equally spaced targets attached to the rim The spacing distance between each target projects the proportional distance of the outer circumference of the tire For illustrative purposes assume a 15 inch tire has an average rolling circumference of 7 16 feet The distance between targets is representative of one eighth of the circumference which in this example is 0 895 feet This sensor can also be mounted to make use of the drive shaft of a vehicle and positioned to read the knuckles of the u joint or a target s attached to the u joint or the drive shaft The transmission sensor transmits six pulses for each revolution of the internal disk Since most automobile speedometers are based on 1000 revolutions per mile approximately 6000 Chapter 2 Product Overview pulses per mile are obtained Dividing the pulses received 6000 into the course length 5 280 feet
