Getting Started
The Hand Held Digital Tachometer is used to mea-
sure the rate of vibration in vibrations per minute
(VPM) of a specific vibrator. This tachometer can be
used on any vibrator by holding the sensor on the
vibrator. It can also be used to read Minnich Man-
ufacturing’s Auto Vibe sensor equipped vibrators
(See Set Up).
1.There are two ways in which the tachometer
can be used.
a.The first way is to use the remote sensor by
placing it on a vibrator. The sensor should be
placed anywhere on the vibrator where ad-
equate vibration is present for the sensor to
pick it up. If you don’t get a reading, move
the sensor to a point where there is greater
vibration.
b.The second way is to connect the unit to a
censored vibrator. First, make sure the unit
is powered off then disconnect the remote
sensor and connect the unit directly to the
vibrator’s internal Minnich Auto Vibe sensor.
When the unit is powered back on, it will
read off the internal sensor.
1. To turn on the tachometer, hold down the
red button until the display turns on. There
is an auto shut-off after a minute and thirty
second.
2. When the tachometer is turned on, the
screen will say “Low Bat” on the left hand
side.
3. The “Low Bat” will then disappear and an
“S” will scroll across the screen until a “0”
appears.
4. When the “0” appears, the tachometer is
ready to be used.
1. The battery needs recharged whenev-
er the “Low Bat” message appears in the
upper left hand corner of the display. There
is a 115 VAC wall charger for overnight and
continuous charging. There is also a 12 VDC
cigarette lighter charger. Either one is to be
plugged into the recharging socket on the
front panel of the display. The unit will scroll
a “C” across the display while it is charging
and will display a “Done” when it is finished.
UNIT WILL NOT POWER UP
• Check charge. See section 2.3 Charging the
Battery.

installed. Remove (4) front panel screws and lift out
display to examine batteries.
DISPLAY READS “SErr”
• Turn the unit off and make sure the sensor is con-
nected to four pin connector. Latch on connector
should be seated around catch. Turn unit back on
and try again.

Power Source
(2) “AA” 800 mah nickel metal hydride batteries.
If the Tachometer battery is ever completed
drained of power and it is plugged in to be
charged, within a few minutes it will say “Done”
implying it is fully charged. However, this is not
the case. The charger needs to be disconnect-
ed and then plugged back in to the tachom-
eter. After this, the battery will charge at its
normal rate and it will be fully charged when
the “Done” appears on the screen.
