4.1.1 Laser mode
The laser mode allows the tachometer to determine the speed remotely.
The laser requires a reflective surface mounted on the rotating machine such
as the supplied reflective tape.
Using the laser helps to quickly determine the speed of the rotating object
and record the measured speeds.
A red laser symbol on the screen indicates that the laser is active.
W A R N I N G :
Never point the laser at people, animals or mirror surfaces. The laser beam
can damage eyes.
In order to make a proper measurement, attach small reflective target to
machine shaft (typically 6 mm x 25 mm).
•

•
Last rpm or Hz reading will be held in display.
4.1.2 Contact mode
The tachometer is supplied with different tips for different purposes:
male or female conical end.
Fit contact adapter into the tachometer and ensure a good connection.
•
Start machine and make clean contact with the recess in shaft end.
•
Contact the shaft end via the rubber cone, ensure a steady firm pressure
is applied and that the instrument is in line accurately with the machine
shaft.
•
Press and/or hold measure centre button (Button 3) as required &
