Contact Tachometer DT-2230 is a pocket-sized 2 in 1 photo/contact Tachometer manufactures by lutron, It measures rotational speed {RPM} and surface speed using a non contact laser beam or a direct contact attachment.
Features :
- Compact and pocket techometer.
- The best tachometer in the world. 2 in1, one instrument combine photo tachometer and contact tachometer.
- Photo tachometer uses laser light detecting source, long measuring range up to 1.5 meters, it is useful in the RPM measurement application where the machine would be a risk to the operator or close access is difficult or not possible.
- Wide measuring range from 0.5 to 100,000 RPM, 0.1 RPM resolution for the measured value < 1000 RPM.
- Microprocessor based circuit, crystal time base, high precision with 0.1% accuracy.
- High visible LCD display gives RPM reading exactly with no guessing or errors & saves battery energy.
- Memory with recall function, the last value, max. value, min. value will be stored into the memory automatically.
- The use of durable, long lasting components, including a strong, light weight ABS plastic housing, assures almost maintenance free performance for many years.
- RS232 PC serial interface.
- Patent patented.
