Operating Instructions

1. Powering On/Off:

• Press the ON/OFF button to turn the tachometer on.
• Press the ON/OFF button again to turn the tachometer off.

2. Selecting Measurement Mode:

Press the FUNC button to cycle through the available measurement modes:

• Photoelectric RPM: For non-contact measurements using reflective tape.
• Rotation Speed (Contact RPM): For contact measurements using the pointed or conical adapter.
• Line Speed (M/min): For contact measurements using the flat wheel adapter.

3. Taking Measurements:

For Photoelectric RPM (Non-Contact):

1. Attach a piece of the provided reflective adhesive tape to the rotating object.
2. Select "Photoelectric RPM" mode using the FUNC button.
3. Point the tachometer's photoelectric sensor towards the reflective tape on the rotating object. Ensure the effective distance is approximately 50-500mm.
4. Press and hold the TEST button. The RPM reading will appear on the LCD.
5. Release the TEST button to hold the last reading.

For Rotation Speed (Contact RPM) and Line Speed (M/min):

1. Attach the appropriate contact adapter (pointed/conical for RPM, flat wheel for M/min) to the spindle.
2. Select "Rotation Speed" or "Line Speed" mode using the FUNC button.
3. Gently press the contact adapter against the center of the rotating shaft (for RPM) or the surface of the moving line (for M/min).
4. Press and hold the TEST button. The reading will appear on the LCD.
5. Release the TEST button to hold the last reading.

4. Memory Function:

After taking a measurement, press the MEM button to cycle through stored values:

• MAX: Displays the maximum measured value.
• MIN: Displays the minimum measured value.
• LAST: Displays the last measured value.

Specifications

Maintenance

Cleaning:

• Wipe the exterior of the tachometer with a soft, dry cloth.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the plastic casing or display.
• Ensure the photoelectric sensor and contact adapters are clean and free of debris for accurate readings.

Storage:

• When not in use for extended periods, remove the 9V battery to prevent leakage.
• Store the tachometer and its accessories in the provided storage bag in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
