TACHYMETER
[for models with tachymeter scale on the dial]
To measure the hourly average speed of a vehicle:
Tachymeter scale:
90
STOPWATCH second hand:
40 seconds
Tachymeter scale can only be used to measure average
speed when time required is up to 60 seconds.
If the measuring distance is extended to 2 km or miles or
shortened to 0.5 km or miles and STOPWATCH second
hand indicates “90” on the tachymeter scale:
“90” (tachymeter scale figure) x 2 (km or miles)
= 180 km/h or mph
“90” (tachymeter scale figure) x 0.5 (km or miles)
= 45 km/h or mph
Ex. :
“90” (tachymeter scale figure)
x 1 (km or mile) = 90 km/h or
mile/h
1
Use the stopwatch to determine how many
seconds it takes to go 1 km or 1 mile.
2
Locate the second marker on the main dial
which corresponds to the number of seconds
measured.
The number on the tachymeter
scale indicates the average speed per hour.
*
For the models with the tachymeter scale around the
small dial at the 6 o’clock position, read the tachymeter
scale which the STOPWATCH second hand points to.
