DT-100A Tachometer

Operation Manual

• When using the 6” wheel, do not use the extension shaft - the wheel    

   may fly off the shaft and cause damage. 

• Although the tachometer alone is able to achieve the higher ranges 

listed in the Range and Accuracy table on page 3, the wheel at-

tachment has a maximum speed limitation of 5,000 FPM (for safety 

reasons).

The Series DT-100A Tachometer with microprocessor technology 

has heralded a superior standard in tachometer accuracy and capa-

bilities for measuring and recording speeds of rotational, linear and 

surface plus total length. Offering unprecedented confidence, the 

DT-100A battery-operated tachometers feature the same rugged, 

high quality components that have made them the benchmark in 

the industry. These user-friendly, value-packed units feature memory 

storage; quick adjustment units knob; length functions; retrieval of 

last, maximum and minimum values; plus each unit comes standard 

with a free N.I.S.T. certificate. Units are available with an LCD or vi-

brant red LED display.
