Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Extech 461893 Photo Tachometer. This device
provides non-contact measurements over a wide range (5 to 100 ,000 RPM). A reflective
mark on the object to be measured is used as a target for th e meter's integral light beam.
Careful use of this meter will provide years of reliable service.

Meter Operation
RPM Measurements
1. Appl y a small piece of reflective tape to the object u nder test as shown below.
2. Point the meter's photo source at the tape on the object and press the Measure but ton.
Hold the meter from 2 to 6" (50 to 150mm) from the reflective tape depending on
ambient light.
3. Check that the M onitor icon flashes on the LCD indicating that the meter is sensing a
reflection from the tape. If the mo nitor does not appear check that the light source is
hitting the reflective tape at a 90
o
angle.
4. Release the Meas ure button when the display stabilizes (2 seconds approx.). Note the
LCD RPM reading.
5. If the RPM value is < 50, apply additional pieces of reflective tape (four pieces are
shown below). Divide the LCD reading by the number of reflective tapes to compute
the actual RPM (Actual RPM = Reading / 4).

Memory Record and Recall
The meter automatically records the Mini mum and Maximum readings. These represent
the lowest and highest readings measured from the moment the Measure button is
pressed to the moment it is released. The Last reading is also recorded; this is the last
measurement taken before the Measure button is released. These stored readings can be
displayed on the LCD using the Memory button as described below:
1. Press once and hold: The Last reading is displayed followed by "LA"
2. Press again and hold: The Maximum value is displayed followed by the word "UP"
3. Press again and hold: The Minimum value is displayed followed by "dn"
Special Measurement Considerations
1. The non-reective area of the object under test must always be greater than the
reective tape area.
2. If the shaft of the object under test is re ective, it should be covered with black tape or
paint before attaching reective tape.
Battery Replacement
The low battery indication appears as "LO" on the display. To replace the batteries:
1. Slide the rear cover o the battery compartment in the direction indicated by the arrow.
2. Replace the four 1.5V 'AA' batteries and the battery compartment cover.
3. Remove the batteries if the instrument will be stored for long periods of time.
