G HOW TO USE THE TACHYMETER (For the models with a tachymeter scale on the dial) · Use the tachymeter with the stopwatch. Stopwatch operation (Standard measurement) Press : T start o : Press T stop o : Press T reset o The tachymeter can be used for the following purposes. B A 12 (1) To measure the hourly average speed of a vehicle · Use the stopwatch to determine how many seconds it takes to go one kilometer (or one mile). The tachymeter scale indicated by the stopwatch second hand gives the average speed per hour. * Please note that the tachymeter scale can be used only when the time required is less than 60 seconds. If it exceeds 60 seconds, shorten the measuring distance. (Refer to "Ex. 2" below.) Ex.: 1) If it takes 40 seconds to go one kilometer (or one mile), the stopwatch second hand indicates "90" on the tachymeter scale.This means that the average speed of the vehicle is 90 kilometers (or miles) per hour. 90 T achymeter scale figure at 40 seconds position x 1 (km or mile) l·lll ll l· l· lll 30 20 10 ·l lll·l = 90 km/h (o mph) Ex.: 2) If the measuring distance is extended to 2 kilometers (or miles) or shortened to 0.5 kilometers (miles), multiply the figure on the tachymeter scale by 2 or 0.5 respectively . We recommend that you utilize the tachymeter in a rally speedway or circuit race. , 90 T achymeter x2 scale figure (Kilometers at 40 seconds position or miles) 90 T achymeter x 0,5 scale figure (Kilometers at 40 seconds position or miles) = 180 km/h (o mph) l·llll = 45 km/h (o mph) 13 (2) To measure the hourly rate of operation The tachymeter is extremely useful in calculating factory operation efficiency or machine products amount. Ex.: 1) Use the stopwatch to measure the time required to complete one job. 30 20 10 If it takes 20 seconds, the stopwatch second hand indicates "180" on the tachymeter scale. This means that 180 jobs will be accomplis ...
