SAFEGUARDS AND PRECAUTIONS LASER RADIATION AVOID DIRECT EYE EXPOSURE CLASS 2 LASER PRODUCT MAX OUTPUT POWER: 1mW EMITTED WAVELENGTH: 650nm CLASSIFIED TO IEC 60825-1:2001 WARNING - This product emits a visible beam of laser light. Avoid exposure to the laser radiation. The use of optical viewing aids (binoculars, for example) may increase the ocular hazard.
Totalizer and Timer. It is programmable to read in English or Metric units. An input socket accepts remote sensing devices and an output socket allows for pulse output to external indicating devices. The PLT200 can be tripod mounted and “Locked-On” for accurate and continuous operation. This tachometer also stores minimum, maximum and last measurement in memory.
3.0 LCD DISPLAY SYMBOLS On Target Indicator. Blinks on whenever there is an input signal. Will appear to be solid on at higher frequencies. Low Battery icon. Indicates that the batteries are low and need to be replaced. Times Ten icon. Indicates that the value shown is ten times that which is displayed.

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.
8.0 TACHometer Mode Tachometer measures speed or linear rate with respect to time. Time intervals are seconds, minutes, or hours. Rotational speed can be measured in Revolutions (Revs) per second, per minute, or per hour. The most common measurement is RPM or Revs per minute using the optical tachometer mode.
