Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Extech Tachometer.

The Model 461700 Photo Tachometer uses precision optics and reflective tape to

measure the RPM of rotating devices such as fans and gears.

The Model 461750 Contact Tachometer uses convex and concave attachments to

measure RPM. It also has a built-in wheel to measure the linear surface speed of moving

devices such as conveyors and treadmills. Careful use of this tachometer will provide

years of reliable service.

461750 Safety Precautions

The 461750 incorporates a finger guard for protection. However, care should be taken

when measuring surface speed to avoid injury.

1. Hold the meter firmly when touching the wheel or attachment to a moving object

2. Keep fingers behind the finger guard while taking measurements

3. Keep your eyes and attention on the measurement activity at all times

4. Do not attempt to record measurements while holding the meter to the moving object

(use the Data Hold feature to freeze the reading on the LCD; refer to the Data Hold

section of this manual).

Meter Power

Power ON / OFF

1. Press the triangular POWER HOLD button to turn the device ON. Alternatively, press

the button at the bottom of the meter (just under the LCD) which doubles as a power

on/off button. Two buttons are provided for easy reach at any holding angle.

2. Press and hold the triangular POWER HOLD button (or the alternate button) for

approx. 5 seconds to turn the device OFF.

Auto Power OFF

1. The meter turns off AUTOMATICALLY after 20 minutes.

2. For 461750 only: To disable this feature, turn the meter off. Then press and hold the

POWER and UNITS buttons until the meter turns on. Release the POWER button first

and the ‘n’ display icon will appear. This indicates that the feature is disabled.

Measurements

RPM Measurements

461700 Photo Tachometer

1. Affix a small (1/4”) square of reflective tape to the surface of the device under test.

See rotating gear example diagram below.

2. Allow the device under test to turn at its normal rate.

3. Turn the meter ON.

4. Point the Tachometer’s sensor toward the reflective tape. Keep the sensor

perpendicular to the reflective tape for the best results. The distance from meter to

object can be up to 12” (30cm).

5. Read the RPM (rotations per minute) measurement on the LCD.

461750 Contact Tachometer

1. Affix the convex (cone) or concave (funnel) attachment that best fits the application

to the meter shaft as shown below.

2. Turn the meter ON.

3. Use the UNITS button to select RPM (the display will reflect the selection).

4. Touch the attachment to the moving object and read the displayed measurement.

Surface Speed Measurements (461750 only)

1. Turn the meter on as described previously.

2. Touch the wheel to the moving object and read the measurement on the display. Refer

to diagram below.

3. Use the UNITS button to select the unit of measure: ft/min (feet per minute); m/min

(meters per minute); yds/min (yards per minute).

Data Hold Feature

After the meter is turned on, the POWER-HOLD button can be pressed and released to

activate Data Hold. Data Hold automatically freezes the displayed reading. While the

reading is held, the HOLD display icon switches on. Press the POWER-HOLD button again

to exit this mode.
