General Tools and Instruments CT6235B - Manual (Page 3)

INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing General Tools & Instruments’
CT6235B Contact Tachometer. Please read this user’s manual
carefully and thoroughly before using the instrument.
The CT6235B is a general-purpose instrument that uses
dedicated fittings to measure—on contact—the speed of a
motor or generator’s rotating shaft and the linear speed of a
moving surface such as a conveyor belt or the circumference
of a wheel. The instrument also can be used as a ruler, to
measure the dimensions of stationary objects.
Measurements are displayed in real time on a 1 in. high back-
lit liquid-crystal display and stored in memory. Up to 96
measurements of rpm or linear speed can be stored, indexed
and recalled, along with the last value, the minimum value
and the maximum value of the series. Thanks to its five-digit
display, the tachometer can measure rotational speeds from
0 to 20,000 rpm, linear speeds from 5cm/min (2 in./min)
to 2km/min (6,562 ft./min), and lengths from 5cm to 10km
(2 in. to 6.2 miles).
The CT6235B is powered by four “AA” batteries (included)
or an optional 6V AC/DC adapter.
