TEMPERATURE
Please DON’T use optical tachometer with fluorescent lighting which
will give false readings, such as 3000 or 3600 rpm.
The optical RPM sensor will function over a large range of propeller
sizes, RPM and lighting conditions. It has even able to measure 40mm
diameter model boat props spinning in the air. Experiment with different
sensor positions. In some cases, best results may be achieved by
testing in the shade. With the motor running, move the optical sensor
to about 10~20 cm from the propellers, taking all due care. Small
propellers may require closer positioning. The number of propeller
blades should also be set. Wrong setting will affect RPM readings for
the optical tachometer. For example, fitting a three bladed propellers,
but leaving the i-Meter blade figure at 2 would cause the optical
tachometer to read 50% high.
TEMPERATURE
There is a temperature sensor available, so you can monitor the
temperature of battery, motor, electronic speed controller, etc. When
no sensor is connected, display will indicate 0.0°C and 32°F
