RS PRO RS AT-8 Contact/Non-Contact Tachometer Introducing the RS PRO RS AT-8 dual-purpose Tachometer, a professional and high-quality laser tachometer (digital rotary measuring instrument) designed with the latest measuring technologies in mind. Built with a durable and robust housing, this tachometer allows for fast and accurate contact and non-contact measurements of RPM and surface speed. The ergonomically designed body makes it a comfortable device to use at any location and the backlit LCD screen makes it easy to read measurements, even in low light conditions. This RS PRO dual-purpose laser light tachometer with contact accessories is a must-have device for any user working in close distance to high-risk machines or where the access is restricted, while the contact accessories provided allow the device to be used in a wide variety of applications where contact measurement is required. Features and Benefits: This RS PRO tachometer has been designed with a durable and robust housing for use in challenging environments while offering an intuitive and easy to use interface for optimum ease of use The handheld device offers a wide measuring range and high resolution for accurate and reliable results as a contact or non-contact form of measurement It offers a solution for non-invasive ways of measuring RPM and surface speed, especially in areas where it may be dangerous or difficult for the user to reach Equally, it comes with a variety of accessories that can be fitted to take precision contact measurements for added versatility across a wide range of applications The digital tachometer has a clear and easy to read backlit LCD display, allowing it to be used in environments with low lighting or where visibility may be poor Built-in memory allows 40 reading memories to be stored Supplied with a 9V battery and convenient carry case for easy storage and device protection when not in use Applications: A tachometer or revolution counter is a tool that is used to measure the rotation speed of an object. These devices often measure in RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) units, which measures the frequency of the rotation and would be most familiar alongside a speedometer in a car. This tool is important in the implementation and day to day operations and maintenance of machinery and systems and it is also beneficial for use in research and development laboratories. Tachometers are typically used for measuring: The speed of rotating equipment such as engines, turbines, fans, wheel, shafts, rollers Travelling speed of belts and conveyors Length of long products such as wire, fibre, steel, wood, etc. The speed of travel and length of sheet products such a films and foils Is this tachometer supplied with a battery? Yes, the tachometer is supplied with a 9V battery How does an optical sensor work? The tachometers optical sensor uses a beam of laser light to measure the speed of rotation of the wheel or shaft by using reflective tape or mark as a control target. It measures differences in frequency of the reflected light. Can this unit be calibrated? Yes, the unit can be calibrated to RSCAL or ISOCAL standards and can be found here: (193-8951) 193-8951 RSCAL (193-8949) 193-8949 ISOCAL Why RS PRO?
