Please note that the tachymeter scale can be used only when the time required is
less than 60 seconds.If it exceeds 60 seconds, shorten the measuring distance.
(Refer to “Ex.2”below.)

Ex.:1)
If it takes 40 seconds to go one kilometer (or one mile), the
stopwatch second hand indicates“90”on the tachymeter
scale.This means that the average speed of the vehicle is
90 kilometers (or miles) per hour.
Use the stopwatch to determine how many seconds it takes to go one kilometer (or
one mile).The tachymeter scale indicated by the stopwatch second hand gives the
average speed per hour.

To measure the hourly average speed of a vehicle(1)
•

Ex.:2)
If the measuring distance is extended to 2 kilometers (or miles) or shortened to 0.5
kilometers (miles), multiply the figure on the tachymeter scale by 2 or 0.5 respectively.
We recommend that you utilize the tachymeter in a rally, speedway or circuit race.

Ex.:1)
Use the stopwatch to measure the time required to
complete one job.
If it takes 20 seconds, the stopwatch second hand
indicates“180”on the tachymeter scale.This means that
180 jobs will be accomplished in one hour.
The tachymeter is extremely useful in calculating factory operation efficiency or
machine products amount.

(2)To measure the hourly rate of operation
= 180 jobs
Ex.:2)
Use the stopwatch to determine how many jobs are accomplished in a specific period
of time.
If 15 jobs are completed in 20 seconds, multiply “180”, the figure on the tachymeter
scale indicated by the stopwatch second hand, by 15.Thus, it is estimated that 2,700
jobs will be accomplished in one hour.
