. Introduction
hank you for purchasing this tachometer from
SUPCO. Please take a few minutes to browse through
this user manual before you begin to operate the meter
to ensure that you are fully familiarized with how best
to operate the meter as accurately and safely as
possble.
he meter is a rotational speed (measured in rpm)
measuring instrument. It is normally used to measure
rotational speed, e.g. of fan blades, impellers, drums
and spindles.
Warning! Keep a safe distance from the
rotating object being measured.
1.1 Precautions safety measures
o get the best service from this meter, please read
this user's manual carefully and observe the detailed
safety precautions strictly.
1.1.1 During use
-2-
1.For reliable measurements it is necessary to use
reflective markers. o apply the reflective markers,
wait until the object to be measured has come to a
standstill.
2.he ideal distance to the measurement object is
between 4” to 16”. During the measurement, always
aim at the reflective marker from an angle of
approximately 30°. his avoids multiple reflections
from the surface.
3. If no reflective marker can be attached, it must be
checked whether the reflective properties of a
reflective point on the measurement object are
sufficient for rpm measurement. In this case, aim at
the measurement object from the vertical, and check
whether a value is displayed. If the measurement
object displays several reflections per revolution, the
number of ventilator vanes must be set (e.g.
reflective ventilator with 5 vanes) in order to obtain
correct rpm measurements.

4. If the OL symbol is displayed on the LCD, it means
the readings are outside the measuring range.
Please keep within the specified measuring range.
5. Never store the product together with solvents, acids
or other aggressive substances.
1.1.2 Maintaining the product
Do not measure at a high temperature, high
humidity locations.
When not using the instrument for a long time,
please remove the battery and avoid storing in
high temperature and high humidity.

Operating Instructions
1. Cut out a piece of the reflective marker and attach
it to the rotating object which is under test. And then
start this rotating object. (Make sure to stop the
-8-
rotating object first and then paste the reflective
marker)
2.Press the ON/ OFF key to turn the unit on.
3. Press the key and the LCD will display 0.0.
4. Keep pressing the key, the meter will enter
the measurement state and launch a beam of red
laser. Point the laser towards the rotating objects
affixed with a reflective marker. Adjust the distance
between the instrument and the rotating object to 4”
to 16”. Now, an accurate measurement can be
read.
4. After completing the measurement, release the
key and the LCD will hold the last measured
value.
