TABLE OF CONTENTS  
The instrument will provide six to eight hours of continuous operation on a  
single set of batteries, depending on the type used. The instrument is  
provided with a built-in charging network, which works in conjunction with  
the optional NiCad batteries. The optional recharger plugs into the single  
jack located next to the optical lens at the front end of the instrument.  
Fourteen to sixteen hours is required for a complete recharge. When the  
battery voltage in the HHT21A is getting low, the display will blink  
“LO BAT” to indicate that the batteries need to be replaced.

Optical System:  
The HHT21A SERIES is a crystal controlled digital instrument that requires  
no calibration. However, the accuracy of the instrument can be checked at  
any time by aiming it at an old style fluorescent light and observing 7200 ±2  
RPM. In countries with 50 Hz. power line frequency, the display will read  
6000 ±2 RPM.

On very small shafts, the HHT21A will work down to a reflective tape size  
of approximately 1/8 inch [3.2 mm] square. However, with this small tape  
size, it would be necessary to operate the instrument very close to the  
rotating shaft and insure it is held steady. For normal operation, a tape size  
of approximately 1/2 inch [12.7 mm] square or larger is recommended, and  
on very large diameter shafts or for very high-speed applications, a larger  
size piece of tape may be required. It is also recommended that the reflective  
tape be viewed just slightly off the perpendicular. The HHT21A will  
operate at angles from 0 to 45 degrees, but best results are obtained by  
aiming the instrument at the reflective tape at approximately a 10 to 20  
degree angle. This insures that only pulses from the reflective tape are  
received by the instrument and minimizes the problem of interference from  
a highly polished surface or varying ambient lighting.  
OVERVIEW  
The HHT21A SERIES combines the accuracy and safety of a non-contact  
optical tachometer with the convenience and ease of operation of a pistol  
grip instrument. The instrument provides non-contact measurement of  
rotational speed to an accuracy of .01% of reading. It reads RPM directly to  
the nearest RPM, and a ‘on-target’ indicator is provided to verify the  
instrument is properly aligned on a target and receiving valid information.  
OPERATION  
The HHT21A measures rotational speed from a single pulse per revolution.  
This pulse is supplied by marking the rotating shaft with a visible reflective  
tape target. The HHT21A is equipped with a built-in laser light source  
providing a bright red beam which is aimed at the reflective tape located on  
the rotating shaft. The pulse from the reflective tape is received back  
through a single lens reflex optical system and detected by a photocell  
inside the instrument. The HHT21A then computes the rotational speed  
and displays it to a resolution of 1 RPM.  
USING THE HHT21A-R WITH A REMOTE OPTICAL SENSOR  
The HHT21A-R version of the tachometer has a provision for using the  
optional HHT20-ROS Remote Optical Sensor. In addition to the standard  
built-in optics of the HHT21A SERIES, a 1/8 inch [3.5 mm] phone jack is  
provided on the front panel of the Tachometer to accept a remote optical  
sensor plug. A toggle switch on the optics panel selects internal or remote  
operation.  
To operate the instrument, simply aim it at the reflective tape while holding  
it at a distance of 1 inch [25.4 mm] to 10 feet [3.1 m] making sure to observe  
laser safety precautions. Squeeze the pistol grip trigger, and read the indicated  
speed. The on-target indicator must be on. The display is updated up to  
twice per second.  
For applications requiring the remote optical sensor, move the Remote/  
Internal switch to the remote position to disable the internal optics of the  
Tachometer. When the trigger is pulled or latched, the remote optical sensor  
can be used for measurements. The HHT20-ROS Remote Optical Sensor  
operates 3 feet [0.9 m] and ±45° from the reflective tape.  
For longer duration measurements, the trigger latch on the side of the pistol  
grip handle can be depressed after pulling the trigger, and the instrument  
may be mounted on the 1/4-20 threaded bushing at the base of the handle.
