microprocessor- control led contact type tachometer. It
incorporates the latest micro-circuit technology and offers:
• Multi-mode capability – measures RPM, FPM, YPM, mPM
and other units without special accessories
• Large memory capacity
• Wide speed range with automatic floating decimal point
• C-MOS single chip microprocessor for high reliability and
low maintenance
• Rugged construction - die-cast aluminum housing

CAUTION: Although tachometer alone is able to achieve
above ranges, the master wheel has a maximum speed limitation
of 5,000 FPM (for safety reasons).

Surface Speed Metric Conversion
Memory Recall
Conversions such as YPM to mPM or mPM to YPM may be
obtained from the memory only by switching from one mode
to another.
Operating Procedure
1. Run wire through the two
wheels at the top of the
unit (as shown).
Wire Feed >
The HHSS may be attached to
a male disconnect on the side
with the pull pin.
2. Turn selector switch to desired unit.

A. AUTOMATIC MEMORY
The following are automatically stored in memory for 5 minutes
following release of the power switch:
• Last reading
• Maximum reading
• Minimum reading
These readings will be displayed in the following order when
the memory switch is pressed:
• Last reading
• Maximum reading
• Minimum reading
To fill all three memory spaces, unit must operate for about 5
seconds. If any of the above memory readings are missing,
unit must operate a few seconds longer.
B. MEMORY SELECTION
The HHSS has the capability of storing 10 extra readings in
its memory. These readings can be obtained from the same
machine or many machines (up to 10) by pressing the memory
switch momentarily as the reading you wish stored appears on
the display. An "M" with an integer will appear on the top of
the display momentarily, and will be stored in memory. Up to
10 readings can be stored.
3. Begin feeding wire through the unit. Ensure the wheels
are turning as the wire is moving. If there is slippage,
tighten the front tension knob to increase tension.
4. Press and hold the on-off switch.
Display will update approximately
every second.
On/Off Switch
5. Observe speed for as long as it is desired.
6. On-off switch must be released prior to removal of tachometer
from rotating object if last reading must be captured.
7. After release of power switch, the last reading will be displayed
for approximately 5 minutes. Readings will be retained in
memory for 5 minutes and can be extended any number of
additional 5 minute periods by re-pressing the memory switch.
On/Off
NOTE: All memory data will be erased if automatic shut-off
has occurred. To recall a specific reading, press the memory
switch until the desired reading shows up on the display along
with its memory position. To erase all data from the memory,
press the memory switch for at least 5 seconds until display
shows CCCCC. If you hold the memory switch, the display
will continue to show CCCCC until the switch is released, then
will default to 0.00.
Battery Replacement
Low battery voltage is
indicated by LO BAT on
the display. Remove end
cover by using a coin or
appropriate screwdriver
and replace both batteries.
Please note polarity.
