1. Cut a 3/4″ length of reflective tape
(included), peel off the backing
and attach the reflective tape to
the object to be measured.
Note:
The longer the piece of reflective
tape, the easier it is to make the
measurement. However, the tape must
not wrap all the way around the object.
2. Point the Tachometer at the reflective
tape on the object, holding the tool
approximately 2″ to 8″ away.
3. Start the object turning.
4. Press and hold the Test Button,
keeping the tachometer perpendicular
to the reflective tape surface.

If the reading fails to appear,
adjust the Tachometer’s angle so that it is
perpendicular to the reflective tape on the
object and/or adjust the distance between
the Tachometer and the reflective tape.
