1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.1. GENERAL SAFETY
WARNING! Ensure that Health & Safety, local authority and
!
general workshop practice regulations are adhered to when using
this equipment.
WARNING! DO NOT aim the laser beam at your or another person's
!
or animal's eye and beware of reflections from mirrors or other shiny
surfaces.
Familiarise yourself with the applications, limitations, and potential
"
hazards of the tachometer.
Keep the tachometer clean and in good condition.
"
Protect the tachometer from electro-magnetic fields, static
"
electricity and high temperatures.
Remain vigilant when using the tachometer on, or near, a running
"
engine where there are rotational parts such as belts, pulleys and
fans.
" Maintain correct balance and footing. Ensure the floor is not
slippery and wear non-slip shoes.
" Remove ill fitting clothing. Remove ties, watches, rings, and other
loose jewellery, and contain and/ or tie back long hair.
DO NOT wear gloves near rotational parts.
#
DO NOT get the tachometer wet or use in damp or wet locations
#
or areas where there is condensation.
DO NOT use the tachometer for any purpose other than for which
#
it is designed.
DO NOT allow untrained persons (particularly children) to operate
#
the tachometer.
DO NOT operate the tachometer when you are tired or under the
#
influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating medication.
1.2 LASER SAFETY
The TA050 utilises a Class II laser that emits low levels of
visible radiation (i.e. wavelengths between 400 and 700
nanometres) which are safe for the skin but not inherently safe
for the eyes. The Class II emission limit is set at the maximum
level for which eye protection is normally afforded by natural
aversion responses to bright light. Accidental eye exposure is
therefore normally safe, although the natural aversion response
can be overridden by deliberately staring into the beam, and can
also be influenced by the use of alcohol or drugs.
WARNING! Do not look or stare into the laser beam
!
as permanent eye damage could result.
DO NOT direct the laser beam at any person's (or
$ $
animal's) eyes as eye damage could result.
DO NOT operate the tachometer when you are tired or under
#
the influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating medication.
Be aware that reflections of the laser beam from mirrors or other
shiny surfaces can be as hazardous as direct eye exposure.
2. INTRODUCTION
Professional quality laser instrument for fast and accurate
measurement of rotational speed with or without contact. Will also
measure total revolutions, frequency, surface speed and distance.
Ten selectable data set memories each with maximum, minimum,
and average or single value reading as appropriate. Supplied with
reflective tape, for non contact measurement, and three heads for
contact measurement. Powered by 9V battery (supplied) and has
jack socket for 6V DC supply.
