IEC61000-4-8:Power frequency magnetic field immunity test. IEC60825-1:Safety. Tests were conducted using a frequency range of 80- 1000MHz with theinstrument in three orientations. The average error for the three orientationsis ±0.5℃ (±0.1℉) at 3V/m throughout the spectrum. However, between 781- 1000MHz at 3V/m, the instrument may not meet its stated accuracy.
4. Operation 4-1 Quick Start Flip open the battery compartment cover and install a 9V Battery. Non-Contact: Stick the self- adhesive reflective tape on the object whose rotational speed is to be measured. The reflective tape should be stocked as close to the outer edge of the object to be measured as possible.
4-2 Unit Diagram Laser beam outlet: Used for Non-contact RPM measurements. Display section: Displays measurements. M button: Data Storage and Recall Data. Unit button: Contact, Non-Contact and the relative measurements mode switch. MEAS button: Turns the tachometer on and records measurements.
