FEATURES AND BENEFITS

TURES AND BENEFITS

The Shimpo DT-205L is a battery-operated, microprocessor-

controlled, non-contact/contact tachometer that utilizes a laser

beam for movement detection. In the non-contact mode a laser

beam measures RPM when directed towards a shaft (or any other

rotating mechanism marked with a small piece of reflective tape).

The included 200L adapter allows for contact measurement via

a rubber tip cone attachment or the included wheel attachment.
The DT-205L tachometer incorporates the latest microprocessor

and laser technology and offers:

• Multi-mode capability measures RPM, mPM, YPM, FPM, IPM

and

total meters, yards, feet and inches

• Large memory capacity allows up to 13 measurements to

be stored in memory

• Single chip microprocessor ensures reliability and low

maintenance

• Safely measures RPM (non-contact mode) from up to 14

feet away

• Oversized 5-digit LCD display permits easy reading
• Long battery life (up to 40 hours of continuous use)
• Rugged die-cast aluminum housing provides exceptional

durability

• Extended measuring range (6 - 99,999 rpm) covers wide

range of applications

When using the 6" wheel, do not use the extension

shaft - the wheel may fly off the shaft and cause

damage.
Although the tachometer alone is able to achieve

the higher ranges listed in the Range and Accuracy

table on page 3, the wheel attachment has a

maximum speed limitation of 5,000 FPM (for safety

reasons).
