1.0OVERVIEW
11.0 INPUT / OUTPUT
The Pocket Laser Tach 200 is a precision hand-held multifunction
Tachometer, Ratemeter, Totalizer and Timer. It is programmable to display
directly in Revs, Inches, Feet, Yards, Miles, Centimeters and Meters or
function as a stopwatch or interval timer. Input / output sockets allow for
remote sensing and pulse output to external indicating devices. For ease of
use, the instrument can be “Locked-on” for continuous operation.
Input: Accepts remote sensor or
Remote Contact Assembly
(RCA). 1/8” (3.5mm) stereo
phone plug.
Output: 1 pulse per revolution TTL
output on internal operation.
Pulse repeater with external
sensors. 1/8” (3.5mm) mono

WARNING: Making measurements in direct contact with rotating
equipment can be dangerous. Keep all loose clothing and hair
away from exposed moving machinery. Keep the hand holding
the instrument well behind the back end of the Remote Contact
Assembly. Properly replace all machinery guards after completing
measurement. Do not use for rotation greater than 20,000 RPM.
