- Reflective tape – In the non-contact mode of operation, place a small square piece of tape on the object under test.
- Sensor light source – In the non-contact mode, direct the light beam toward the reflective tape while the device under test is moving.
- Monitor indication – In the non-contact mode, the monitor switches on each time the reflective tape breaks the light beam.
- Measurement Display – Indicates the measurement result.
- Memory button – Press to recall the stored LAST, MAX & MIN readings.
- Function Switch – Select Tachometer or Linear Surface Speed mode.
- Rotating shaft – In the contact mode of operation, carefully touch the shaft to the moving object.
- Measure button – Press to initiate a measurement.
- 1' Battery compartment on rear

Photo Tachometer
- Slide the Function Switch to the "rpm PHOTO" position.
- Apply a 0.5" (12mm) square piece of reflective tape to the object being measured.
- Press the Measure button and align the visible light beam with the object being measured. Check that the Monitor Indicator switches on (upper left-hand corner of LCD) when the reflective tape passes through the light beam. Release the Measure button once the display stabilizes (approx. 2 seconds). For best results, hold the meter's light source 6 -12 inches from the object being measured. For best results, minimize the ambient light as much as possible.
- If the RPM measurement is less than 50, apply additional squares of reflective tape (equidistant). Divide the reading shown on the display by the number of reflective squares to get the actual RPM.
NOTE: Bright ambient light may interfere with the reflected light beam. Shading the target area may be necessary in some cases.
CAUTION: Rotating objects can be dangerous. Use extreme care when holding the meter near any such object.
Contact Tachometer
- Slide the Function Switch to the "rpm CONTACT" position.
- Press the Measure button while lightly pressing the rotating ring against the center opening of a rotating shaft. Release the Measure button once the display has stabilized (approx. 2 seconds).
CAUTION: Rotating objects can be dangerous. Use extreme care when holding the meter near a rotating object.
Surface Speed Measurement
- Slide the Function Switch to "SURFACE SPEED ft/min" or "m/min".
- Attach the Surface Speed Wheel to the meter shaft.
- Press the Measure button and hold the surface speed wheel against the device being measured (a conveyor belt, for example).
- Release the Measure button once the display has stabilized (approx. 2 seconds).
CAUTION: Moving belts and other moving objects can be dangerous. Use extreme care when taking measurements.
Memory Recall
When measuring, the LAST, MAX and MIN readings are automatically stored before the Measure button is released. Recall the values by pressing the Memory button.
- Press once and hold - the last value is displayed followed by "LA"
- Press again and hold - the maximum value is displayed followed by "UP"
- Press again and hold - the minimum value is displayed followed by "dn"
Battery Replacement
The low battery indication (LO) appears when the batteries need to be replaced.
To replace the batteries:
- Open the rear battery compartment by removing the screw that secures it.
- Replace the four 1.5V AA batteries.
- Replace the battery cover.
