Instruction Manual
Features and Benefits
The Shimpo DT-205L is a battery-operated, microprocessor-
controlled, non-contact/contact tachometer that utilizes a laser
beam for movement detection. In the non-contact mode a laser
beam measures RPM when directed towards a shaft (or any other
rotating mechanism marked with a small piece of reflective tape).
The included 200L adapter allows for contact measurement via a
rubber tip cone attachment or the included 6" master linear wheel.
The DT-205L tachometer incorporates the latest microprocessor
and laser technology and offers:
• Multi-mode capability measures RPM, mPM, YPM, FPM,
IPM and total meters, yards, feet and inches
• Large memory capacity allows up to 13 measurements to
be stored in memory
• Single chip microprocessor ensures reliability and low
maintenance
• Safely measures RPM (non-contact mode) from up to 14
feet away
• Oversized 5-digit LCD display permits easy reading
• Long battery life (up to 40 hours of continuous use)
• Rugged die-cast aluminum housing provides exceptional
durability
• Extended measuring range (6 - 99,999 rpm) covers wide
range of applications
Important Safety Instructions
Do not point the laser beam into eyes as permanent
eye damage may occur! Shimpo Instruments does
not condone usage inconsistent with product's labeling
and warning.
When using the 6" master wheel, do not use the
extension shaft - the wheel may fly off the shaft and
cause damage.
Although the tachometer alone is able to achieve the
higher ranges listed in the Range and Accuracy table
on page 3, the master wheel has a maximum speed
limitation of 5,000 FPM (for safety reasons).
