The Pocket Laser Tach 200 is a mulfuncon 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 indicang devices. The PLT200 can be
tripod mounted and locked-on for accurate and connuous operaon.
This tachometer also stores minimum, maximum and last measurement
in memory.

measuring contact RPM, linear speeds or totalizing lengths. It needs to be
plugged into a tachometer to be funconal. It is supplied with two rubber
contact ps (one concave and one convex) and a 10 cm linear wheel. An
oponal 12-inch linear wheel is available. When used with the Monarch
Pocket Laser Tach 200, the unit outputs 12 pulses per revoluon (PPR).
The maximum operang range of the RCA is 20,000 RPM when used with a
contact p and 12,000 RPM when used with a linear wheel.

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