Calibration Instructions
The SPD -100 and SPD -100L tachometers are normally factory-
calibrated to the customer-specified number of sensing teeth or
discontinuities, sensing speed, and desired numerical display.
To calibrate an SPD-100 or SPD-100L
1. Remove the sealing plug on the back of the housing.
2. Apply the calculated signal frequency to terminals 1 and 2.
A Dynalco F-16 or F-15 signal generator is ideal.
3. Select the appropriate gate time range on the 4-position
switch. See label on back of SPD-100 or SPD-100L; or Item 3,
reverse side of card.
4. Adjust the vernier potentiometer for the desired display.

Example: If 3390 Hz = 1800 RPM, then gate time is 0.53 seconds.
1. Apply 3390 Hz to terminals 1 and 2 on tachometer (no polarity).
2. Turn the gate time range switch to (either) position number 1 to
select gate time range of 0.26–0.72 seconds.
3. Adjust the vernier potentiometer to obtain a display of 1800.
