1. FEATURES
* Compact and pocket tachometer.
* The best Tachometer in the world. 2 in 1, one
instrument combine Photo tachometer and Contact
Tachometer.
* Photo tachometer uses Laser light detecting source,
long measuring range up to 1.5 meters, it is useful in
the RPM measurement application where the machine
would be a risk to the operator or close access is
difficult or not possible.
* Wide measuring range from 0.5 to 100,000 RPM, 0.1
RPM resolution for the measured value < 1000 RPM.
* Microprocessor based circuit, crystal time base, high
precision with 0.1% accuracy.
* High visible LCD display gives RPM reading exactly
with no guessing or errors & saves battery energy.
* Memory with recall function, the last value, max., value,
min. value will be stored into the memory automatically.
* The use of durable, long lasting components, including
a strong, light weight ABS plastic housing, assures
almost maintenance free performance for many years.
* RS232 PC serial interface.

Tachometer * Spec. of detecting distance are that
detecting under the size of reflecting tape is
distance 10 mm square & the measuring RPM
value is 1,800 RPM. The max. & min.
detecting distance may change
under different environment,
different reflecting tape or the
measuring RPM beyond 1800 RPM.
NOTE: When using test wheel, accuracy can be affected as much as
0.5% of reading.
