Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of Extech's Mini Laser Photo Tachometer, Model 461920. This Tachometer provides non-contact RPM and count measurements. The laser pointer beam provides accurate long distance measurements for photo tachometer measurements. This meter is shipped fully tested and calibrated and, with proper use, will provide years of reliable service.

Meter Description

1. Photo Tachometer sensor and laser source

2. MEASURE button

3. MEMORY button

4. MODE button

5. AC Power Adaptor

6. Battery compartment (rear)

CAUTION: Rotating objects can be dangerous. Use extreme care.

WARNING: Do not directly view or direct the laser pointer at an eye. Low power visible lasers do not normally present a hazard, but may present some potential for hazard if viewed directly for extended periods of time.

Laser complies with: FDA 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11, IEC 60825-1 (2001-2008) Edition 1.2 EN 60825-1:1994/A11:1996/A2:2001/A1:2002

Meter Operation

RPM Measurement Mode

1. To set the units to RPM, Press and release the MEAS button and press the MODE button until RPM appears on the display.

1. Apply an appropriately (0.5/12mm) sized square piece of reflective tape to the surface of the object under test.

2. Point the meter toward the device under test at a distance of 2" to 20" (50 to 500mm).

3. Press the Measure button (MEAS) and align the laser light beam straight on with the reflective tape.

4. Verify that the ((( ))) Monitor Indicator appears on the LCD when the reflective tape passes through the light beam.

5. When the Measure button is released the last reading will remain in the display for 5 to 10 seconds before the Auto Power Off feature turns the meter off.

6. With the meter OFF, press the MEM (memory) button to recall the MAX, MIN and LAST rpm values.

COUNT Mode

1. To set the units to measure Counts, Press and release the MEAS button and press the MODE button until REV appears on the display.

2. Point the meter toward the device under test at a distance of 2" to 20" (50 to 500mm).

3. Press the Measure button (MEAS) and align the laser light beam to the objects being counted.

4. Verify that the ((( ))) Monitor Indicator appears on the LCD when the object passes through the light beam.

5. When the Measure button is released the last reading will remain in the display for 5 to 10 seconds before the Auto Power Off feature turns the meter off.

6. With the meter OFF, press the MEM (memory) button to recall the last count (REV) from the last measurement period.

Measurement Notes 1. Bright ambient light may interfere with the reflected light beam. Holding the tachometer closer to

the target or shading the target area may be necessary in some cases.

2. The non-reflective area must always be larger than the reflective area.

3. If the shaft or rotating object is normally reflective, it must be covered with black tape or paint before the reflective tape is applied.

4. To improve repeatability of low rpm measurements, apply additional squares of reflective tape. Divide the reading shown on the display by the number of pieces of reflective tape squares to calculate the actual rpm.
