Minarik’s VT8 Series is the choice when it comes to digital
tachometers.
The VT8 Series provides a simple and accurate readout for any
object that has an optical encoder, magnetic pickup, or any-
thing else that can generate a frequency related to what you
wish to measure.
There are four modes to choose from: tachometer mode for
speed in any engineering unit, time in process for indicating the
duration of an application, the inverse of speed (such as min-
utes per revolution), and basic totalizer for counting the fre-
quency of the speed sensor.
n Four Operating Modes: Displays 1) speed of application or multiple of it 2) time in process indicating duration of
application 3) the inverse speed (i.e., minutes per revolution) 4) number of counts received from feedback device.
n Selectable Feedback Devices: Accepts magnetic pickup, hall effect, inductive proximity sensor or
encoder input.
n +5 VDC (50mA) or +12 VDC (25mA) power supply: Provided to power feedback device.
n Wide Frequency Range: Accepts 0 - 20,000 Hz from feedback device.
n Easy to Read Display: 4-digit LED display is 0.7" (17.5 mm).
