Page 10: Tachometer Mode
7.0 TACHometer MODE A 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. - Page 11 6.

Page 16: Totalizer Mode
9.0 TOTALIZER MODE Totalizer accumulates input on an ongoing basis. In the simplest form the unit acts as an optical counter, incrementing the display each time an input pulse is sensed. Using the Remote Contact Assembly with various tips and wheels, the unit can totalize in revs, inches, feet, yards, centimeters, and meters. - Page 17 5.
