2.1. Reflecting tape  
Attach a reflecting tape to the surface of the unit to be measured  
2.2. Reflecting signal light beam  
It is recommenced that the reflecting surface is perpendicular to the  
emitting/receiving unit for best measurement.  
2.3. Emitting/Receiving Unit  
The red light emits from the left side of the tachometer. And a receiving  
sensor is installed in the right side to receive light signal from the reflecting  
surface.  
2.4. LCD  
The lower row of the LCD is a 5 digit number to display RPM, m/min,  
ft/min, yd/min or counts.  
The upper row of the LCD is a clock. If only the minutes is displayed,  
tachometer is in the auto-power off mode. Power will be turned off in 30  
minutes. To disable auto-power-off mode, press and hold the unit button  
(left button) for 2 seconds. Then the hours will be displayed.  
2.5. Function Button  
Press the button to select MAX, MIN or AVE function. To return to normal  
mode, press and hold the button for 2 seconds.  
2.6. Start/Hold/On/Off  
When the power is turned off, press this button to turn the power on. If the  
power is on, press this button to start measurement. Press again to hold  
the data and stop measurement. To turn the power off, press and hold  
button until "OFF" is displayed in the LCD (about 2 seconds). Release the  
button, then the power will be turned off.  
2.7. Unit Button  
Press this button to select different units, such as RPM, RPM / ( /  
Symbolizes "contact"), m/min, ft/min, yd/min, rps (Hz) or No. of counts. To  
measurement speed in RPM /, m/min, ft/min or yd/min, the option RM1502  
mechanical adaptor must be attached.  
When the No. symbol is displayed in the LCD, the unit becomes an event  
counter. The clock will be reset to zero, and start counting. To stop  
counting, press the HOLD (START) button once. To reset counts, press  
the function button(right button).  
2.8. MAX/MIN/AVE symbols

3.1. Normal Operation  
a. Install four 1.5V AA size batteries.  
b. Cut off a piece of reflective tape of size 1.0 cm x 1.4 cm (optimal  
size)  
c. Wipe off oil or stains from the surface where reflective tape will be  
adhered.  
d. Stick the self-adhesive reflective tape on the object whose  
rotational speed is to be measured. The reflective tape should be  
attached as close to the outer edge of the object to be measured as  
possible.  
e. Press the START button to turn on tachometer.  
f. Point the photoelectric probe at the object as Figure 2. Press the  
START button once and confirm that the red emitting LED lamp lights  
up. Then read the rotational speed on the LCD display.  
g. If the rotational speed is less than 60 rpm, it may take about 1 to 6  
seconds to measure (60 rpm takes 1 second, and 10 rpm takes 6  
seconds).  
h. The reading will be held for 6 seconds, if you aim the photoelectric  
probe at a 0 speed object right after one measurement.  
Note: If the speed is less than 999.99 rpm, the red LED is turned on all the  
time to detect speed. If the speed is great than 999.99, the unit goes into  
power-saving mode. The LED is turned on for a very short period of time,  
then turned off for most of the time to save power.

3.2. Using the Mechanical Adaptor (Option RM1502)  
a. Select proper rubber head.  
b. Attach the mechanical adaptor to the unit.and fasten the screw.  
c. Press the unit button (left button) to select RPM / ( instead of RPM  
only). The auxiliary LED will be turned on while the main LED will be  
turned off.  
d. Press against the shaft of the object to be measured.  
e. Do not press against the shaft too hard to avoid hazard.  
WARNING: Do not exceed the speed limit of 29999 rpm when using  
mechanical adaptor.

3.3. Measurement of Surface Speed(m/min, ft/min, or yd/min)  
a. Attach the mechanical adaptor (option RM-1502) to the unit.  
b. Press the unit button to select desired unit. The auxiliary LED will  
be turned on while the main LED will be turned off.  
c. Slightly touch against the surface to be measured.

3.4. Use as an Event Counter with External Light Source  
a. Press the unit button several times to select the unit of "No. O"  
(counts). The "O" symbol is used to instruct users that external light  
source is required.  
b. When the symbol "No. O" appears, the tachometer reset the upper  
clock to 00:00 and start counting the pulses it detects. (Auto-power-  
off is automatically disabled)  
c. To stop counting, press the START button once.  
d. To reset counts to zero, press the function(right) button.  
3.5. Use as an Event Counter with Internal Red LED  
a. Press the unit button several times to select the unit of "No. "  
(counts).  
b. When the symbol "No." appears, the tachometer reset the upper  
clock to 00:00 and start counting the pulses it detects (Auto-power-  
off is automatically disabled).  
c. To stop counting, press the START button once.  
d. To reset counts to zero, press the function(right) button.

3.6. External Signal(TTL) Input (RM1501)  
Instead of receiving signal from light source, users can input external  
TTL signal (High: > 4.5V, Low: 0V) through pin 8 of RS232C  
connector with pin 5 as signal ground.  
NOTE: It is strongly recommended that the emiting/receiving unit be  
covered to avoid undesired light signal coming in.  
3.7. Digital Pulse Signal Output (RM1501)  
Users can output digital pulse signal through pin 8 of RS232C  
connector with pin 5 as signal ground to oscilloscope.  
10  
3.8. Measuring Slow Rotating Objects  
If the rotating speed of the object which you are measuring is very  
slow, it is recommended that you use a tripod to hold the tachometer  
in place and use multiple pieces of tape for more accurate result.  
If multiple pieces of tape are used, each piece of tape should be  
located at a equal distance to each other on the object. Any number  
of pieces of tape are acceptable. But you need to divide the reading  
by the number of pieces to obtain the correct result.  
Correct RPM = Reading / (number of pieces of tape)  
Example: 4 pieces of tape and reading is 12 RPM.  
Correct Speed = 12 / 4 = 3 rpm  
3.9. Using the MAX/MIN/AVE Functions  
These functions allow users to analyze the stability of rotational  
speed. These value are actually peak (MAX), valley(MIN), and true  
average(AVE) values.  
MAX: Press the function button to select maximum function. The  
MAX function can be used to find the peak value of speeds  
measured.  
MIN: Press the function button to select minimum function. The MIN  
function can be used to find the valley value of speeds measured.  
AVE: Press the function button to select average function. The  
average function is a true average value.

n
RPMAVE= å rpm)n ; å rpm) < 232 , n < 65535  
If summation of average value overflow, or n > 65535, the last  
average RPM will be used as initial value for successive calculation.  
And n will be reset to 1.  
When users press the HOLD button (same as START button), the  
max/min/ave values are still stored in memory. Users can press the  
function button (right button) to review the values. To return to  
normal mode, press and hold the function (right button) for 2  
11  
11  
seconds,  
and the max/min/ave symbols will disappear in LCD.  
3.10. Turning On/Off Tachometer  
Press any button will turn on the power of tachometer. To turn off the  
power of tachometer, press and hold the START button until word "OFF"  
is displayed in LCD. Then release the START button.  
3.11. Disable Auto-Power-Off Function  
If tachometer is in auto-power-off mode, only the minutes will be  
displayed. And tachometer will be turned off in 30 minutes. To disable  
the auto-power-off function, press and hold the UNIT button (left button)  
for 2 seconds until the hours is displayed.
