The Pocket Laser Tach 200 is a mulfuncon tachometer, rate meter,
totalizer and mer. It is programmable to read in English or metric units.
An input socket accepts remote sensing devices and an output socket
allows for pulse output to external indicang devices. The PLT200 can be
tripod mounted and locked-on for accurate and connuous operaon.
This tachometer also stores minimum, maximum and last measurement
in memory.

Pulse output
The is an accessory (sold separately) for
measuring contact RPM, linear speeds or totalizing lengths. It needs to be
plugged into a tachometer to be funconal. It is supplied with two rubber
contact ps (one concave and one convex) and a 10 cm linear wheel. An
oponal 12-inch linear wheel is available. When used with the Monarch
Pocket Laser Tach 200, the unit outputs 12 pulses per revoluon (PPR).
The maximum operang range of the RCA is 20,000 RPM when used with a
contact p and 12,000 RPM when used with a linear wheel.
Connector pinouts are shown in Figure 1.

A tachometer measures speed or linear rate with respect to me; me
intervals are seconds, minutes, or hours. Rotaonal speed can be
measured in Revoluons (Revs) per second, per minute, or per hour. The
most common measurement is RPM or Revs per minute using the opcal
Tachometer Mode.

Measurement of units in addion to Revs requires the aachment of the
Remote Contact Assembly and ps/wheels. With this aachment, the unit
can measure RATE inputs-revs, inches, feet, yards, cenmeters and meters
either per second, per minute or per hour, as well as miles per hour.
External Remote Contact Assembly (RCA) must be inserted into
input socket.

Totalizer accumulates input on an ongoing basis. In the simplest form the
unit acts as an opcal counter, incremenng the display each me an input
pulse is sensed. Using the Remote Contact Assembly with various ps and
wheels, the unit can totalize in revs, inches, feet, yards, cenmeters, and
meters.
