Congratulations on your purchase of Extech's Laser Photo/Contact Tachometer with Non-
Contact IR Thermometer, Model RPM10. This Tachometer provides contact RPM and
Linear Surface Speed measurements, non-contact RPM measurements and IR
temperature measurements. The laser pointer beam provides accurate long distance
measurements for photo tachometer measurements and also identifies the measurement
spot for the non-contact temperature tests. This meter, with proper care, will provide years
of safe reliable service.
CAUTIONS
• Improper use of this meter can cause damage, shock, injury or death. Read and
understand this user manual before operating the meter.
• If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
• This device is not a toy and must not reach children’s hands. It contains hazardous
objects as well as small parts that the children could swallow. In case a child
swallows any of them, please contact a physician immediately
• Do not leave batteries and packing material lying around unattended; they can be
dangerous for children if they use them as toys
• In case the device is going to be unused for an extended period of time, remove the
batteries to prevent them from training
• Expired or damaged batteries can cause cauterization on contact with the skin. Always,
therefore, use suitable hand gloves in such cases
• See that the batteries are not short-circuited. Do not throw batteries into the fire.
• Do not directly view or direct the laser pointer at an eye. Low power visible lasers do
not normally present a hazard, but may present some potential for hazard if viewed
directly for extended periods of time
